My Veteran Thank You Cards

 As you know, we started our Second Veteran Thank You Cards Crusade and I am happy to report that the cards are starting to come in. I thank everyone that has contributed so far.

I figured it was time to make MY Veteran Thank You Cards, so I did something that I have never done before. I went to Hobby Lobby for Designer Papers and Stickers to help me make some simple Thank You cards that I am contributing.


And here they are!!  I was able to make 34 Patriotic Veteran Thank You cards. The verse that I stamped is from Inspired Thoughts and is now retired but it is definitely a keeper. 

The tags say:  It's your time to be REMEMBERED to feel APPRECIATED, and to know you're CELEBRATED! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It was fun making them and I love how they turned out. Anyone can contribute cards for our crusade, they will be used on the Veteran Honor Flights for the veterans mail roll call.

Guidelines:    *Red/White/Blue Color Scheme

        *Simple cards with a White piece of cardstock on the inside so that a message can be written.

        *No Envelopes

        *Does not have to be Stampin' Up!

        *If you send me some cards, please send me a message so that I can watch for them, I will let you know when I receive them.

Thanks everyone, you are so appreciated.

Cindy
