My Creative TimeThrifty Thursday


Happy Thursday MCT Peeps! I hope you guys are having a fabulous week so far! For todays challenge our fabulous design team members Liz and Shar came up with this awesome idea! They asked use to use our scraps to make a card for charity or to support an organization or person. SO, I made this card for the family of a fallen officer in our area. This was a tragedy and my heart goes out to the family of the officer and his fellow co workers. I know a card cannot bring much confront to a grieving family but I wanted them to know they are in our prayers. 

For my card I used mostly left over items so I cant really give you a whole lot of info. I did use Liz's Paper Loft burlap ribbon (which I love) and of course Miss Emma's stamps. This sentiment is from the Floral Sentiment set. I distress the edges of the paper and then ran it through my sewing machine. The crosses are from the jewlery section at Michael's.  I know we were supposed to use scraps but this card was truly made from love! And I had such a hard time making it!






Thank you for stopping by today. I thought this was a great way to give back and think about others in our community. Make sure you visit the rest of the design team. Big crafty hugs!
