I
may not celebrate Valentine’s Day romantically, but I do love to make cards and
special treats to show the people I love how much I care…
Those
people just happen to be my dear family…
I
know that one amazing day the Lord will weave together a beautiful love story
for me and until then, I am more than content to bless the precious family I
have been given and make their day special…
And
did I tell you that my lovely mother celebrates her birthday on the Day of Love
as well…?
This
year my two sweet younger sisters and I spent a morning making cards for this wonderful challenge…
We
had such a memorable time together, tearing little bits of pretty paper and
creating these cards to send to the orphan children of Uganda… You can read more about our special time
together here.
I
thought I would show you how we made these simple yet very effective cards
using scraps of scrapbook paper…
All
you will need is a glue stick, a sheet of thick white paper or cardstock,
scraps of pretty patterned paper in pinks and reds, scissors, brown kraft paper
card bases and a heart template of your choice.
Simply
tear off small pieces of paper and paste them on the thick paper, overlapping
the edges to create a collage…
Once
you have covered a page, use the heart template to trace and cut out heart
shapes – use different sizes if you so desire.
Now paste the heart(s) to the card base, taking care to centre it…
Write
a little message inside the card in an elegant hand and bring a smile to
someone special!
Don't miss out - my Valentine'sGiveaway ends on the 6th of February so do hop over to this post and enter to

Blessings

Hi Kelly,
Such a sweet idea.. A collage heart.. Looks beautiful and how the children will enjoy!! Im visiting from Stephanie's link up. I also visited the link you've given and found Crista sharing her burden for the lost. It sure is a privilege to be a part of that card sending initiative. Hope I too can be a part of this wonderful mission.
