CARDS FOR OPERATION WRITE HOME

remember my goal to make a card after each layout? well, I am ahead of the game! the "Lucky" card was made because there were green scraps when I went to clean off my scrap area to start scrapping and I thought they would make a great card. (two of the green papers are from Katie's card kit!)

then after making the "Aloha Christmas" layout, I forgot I wanted to make a birthday card and went and made a Christmas card......so I went back to make the originally planned birthday card. 

 

note how I added orange circle punches to the paper to make it match the ribbon and salutation better!

 still not sure I like the "Thank You" card. seems somehow flat. I think it is the paper.
