special delivery



I've added pink stripes and a flower to create a feminine version of this cute mail truck for Ink to Paper’s Project: Reach Out.  I kept the design simple so the patterned papers would set it off (not compete with it). 



I have just as much fun making the front of the envelope cute to coordinate with the card inside, so I thought I should start sharing them . . .
 
 






stamps:  papertrey ink
papers:  american crafts, papertrey ink
dies:  papertrey ink
punch:  stampin' up
stencil:  paper smooches
embellishment:  brad (yes, that's a brad - remember brads?!) - making memories

just a little thank you



 
I'm so happy to be joining Ink to Paper's reach out project - I am sharing the card I sent to a sweet young RN who works in the emergency room at one of our local hospitals (she has cared wonderfully for my elderly mother on more than one occasion - she even refers to mom as her "grandma").
