Hello! The first card I am going to show you this week is to celebrate Ryan, my Godson's birthday today. Unfortunately, I had to make the card a belated birthday card even though it went in the mail a week ago. My Godson is in the Marines in Afghanistan so he won't see his card for at least two more weeks. So, on the inside I wrote that it was a combination "hang in there, I'm proud of you, and happy birthday"! That way, only part of the card is late ... yea, right... that is my story and I am sticking to it! Let me show you ... enjoy!
The sailboat bunny part was made several months ago for a Saturday share swap. I guess I made three, two were sent for the swap and the third has been in a basket on my desk ever since. I came across it and remembered that there was a good "stay strong" type sentiment in the set and I thought it would make a good card for Ryan. I found more of the blue check paper and added some red check to it to complete it. Do you see the horizontal panel where the twine is? I had thought I would make this a straight piece all the way across. Well, I forgot my plan, and I cut it to the same size as the bunny panel. So, then I added the cut pieces on either side below the bunny panel. I like it. Maybe even more than the planned way! Can we say "happy mistake"? What do you think? Do you like the card?
