This is a card I made for Wayne, Jr. using today's SC425. It is for a MMTPT card drive. Wayne, Jr. is a kind soul who has apparently spent his lifetime going out of his way to help others. Recently when he pulled over to help someone who had gone off the road, he was involved in a subsequent accident. When the driver of a semi came upon the accident, he had to slam on his breaks, afterwhich he jack-knifed. Though Wayne tried to sheild himself from injury, he sustained injuries from the second accident. To date, he has required eight surgeries and sadly, they were unable to save one of his arms. His recovery will be very long and will require him to be 300 mi from his home and family. I am sending him this card to let him know how special he is for the sacrifice he made for someone else. Also to wish him good thoughts, blessings and a successful recovery.
THANKS for looking!

Gabby, this is lovely and I especially like the simplicity of your design. Wonderful image panel, lovely colored woodgrain embossing and then the "spark" of the yellow-green sentiment circle.
