All kinda of Love

earlier today I posted a card I made a dozen of using the negative of a cut of the word "Love" so with all of these, I used the positive (like I was going to throw away all those perfectly good alphas! no way)











Printed Paper - Echo Park For the Record 12x12 collection












Red Cardstock - Creating Keepsakes

Velvet Ribbon - no clue who the manufacturer was but I bought it at Crop Chocoalte ;-)










on these last two cards, I used stickers plus a couple of die cuts (clouds & brackets)  from the same collection, quick & easy but looks really cool!

I ended up making 16 cards from a mix of these, half will go to Operation Write Home with the other half going to From Our Hearts

a dotty kind of Love

ok so it's a corny title but it does describe the card
;-)  LOL

Some of these cards will go to Operation Write Home & some will go to From Our Hearts... all for soliders and their sweethearts :-)  Did I mention that I made a dozen?

I stumbled upon this cute little sketch from Kathy's Waffle Sketch File and had to use it but you know how it goes, once you cut a new piece of cardstock you want to get the most out of the cut as possible!  so I made four cards :-)

For the Sentiment, I decided to make a pull-out tag that is hidden behind the image instead of stamping the inside of the card.  This is for whatever service man or woman decides to send this little cutie to a friend or family member back in the states, they'll have plenty of room to write to them
