This card is for the TLC, having 'cut it out' on your card...I have cut out the floral lattice background, layered it on embossed cardstock and then added layered flowers and buttons - which qualifies it for this weeks Flourishes Challenge....I am becoming a challenges addict....scaring myself a bit there!!!
This card is also the first of a number I am making for the victims of the horrific bushfires in Victoria Australia. My DH suggested it and I didn't really think it would make any difference until I saw an interview showing school children writing letters to children who had survived the fires....one lady came on weeping thanking people for their support and just knowing that people are out there caring and showing love makes all the difference....so cards it is, these people don't even own one piece of paper, they have lost everything!!!
Peggy (aka Marilyn Prestonn) rang me yesterday - how lovely it was to hear her sweet voice all the way from Canada - and suggested that I mention to everyone that if you are interested in making a card to two for these people, please PM me and I will give you my address and get them to these people.....thank you so much!!!
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card, and for your encouraging comments, you bless me so much!!!

Linda~ As beautiful as this is, it is your heart and Ron's (sweet Lolly man!) that shines thru this card! What a wonderful thing for God to lay on your hearts! Most people just need to know that someone really does care, and is praying for them and that they are not alone. Your card will make them feel like they 'belong'. Beautiful indeed sister. Much love....

A wonderful idea and most times it is the *small* things that mean so much to people at times like this. Your card is gorgeous and will remind someone that when all else seems lost, love is still strong. I will do my best to send you a card or two soon!
