I was asked recently to contribute a card for a special gift being given to someone I know. I can't mention who it's for, in case she reads my blog but I know she won't know what this is all about if I just post the card, so here it is! I spent several hours working on this on Sunday night. It still feels like it's missing something, but I was under the gun to get this in the mail on time, so I had to quit being so picky and finish it! I thought some Christmas Roses would be very pretty for this card, as I was told the card I made didn't have to be Christmas-y. I figured this could go either way.
My Small Letter Set from JustRite Stampers perfectly filled my need to use this quote on the card!
I hope my card will be well-received when it gets to where it's going! I'll try to remember to fill you in on the details when I know the surprise has been revealed to the recipient!
Have a great day! Don't forget to check out my new item on the For Sale page!

I love the ink pad racks your DH makes. I have a SU one that I will try to sell, because this would would work much better in my space.
