Today's card is a special one for me. My Grandma was a very active woman in her church and always has been. Her UCW group was like an extended family for her. She spent countless hours working, playing and having fun with an amazing bunch of women. I had the honour of meeting many of them last year when I went down and stamped with a group of them. Well, they put on a wonderful lunch for our family after my Grandma's funeral and I really wanted to do something for them. So I made up this card for the group from my family to say thank you and also a box set of 20 cards (identical to this) that the group can use when needed. It isn't much but hopefully they are put to good use and this shows my Grandma's friends how appreciative we are to them!
Here is the recipe for the card:
Certainly Celery 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, 2 5/8 x 2 7/8
Rich Razzleberry - 4 1/8 x 3, 2 3/4 x 3, 5/8 x 3 7/8
Very Vanilla - 2 3/4 x 2 1/2
Pale Plum - 1/2 x 3 3/4
Cottage Wall DSP - 4 x 2 7/8
Friends 24/7 Stamp Set
Sorbet Buttons
Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon - 16 inches
Old Olive Ink
Certainly Celery Ink
Rich Razzleberry Ink
Dimensionals
Glue Dots
Here is also a quick video on the card:

It was lovely to hear a baby ...brings me back to my baby days! Heather will you have a class in December or in January????
I try to budget my stamp expenses and your classes are my number 1 even before (shock) my stamps ...Doreen
OMG Heather I tought you taped this before you had Cole. There's nothing sweeter than the sound of a new borns cry. Take care and make sure not to over do it. I love our card.
Very nice Heather and a lovely idea! The church can always use cards - Our church has someone in charge of sending cards for special birthdays, illness etc. I love the colours that you chose and the layout - very nice!
