When I was a kid, I loved the Peanuts comics. However, after I grew older, I gave away all my Peanuts books except one -- The Peanuts Lunch Bag Cookbook. It's a collection of simple recipes that a kid could make for their bagged lunch. Being the first of what would eventually become my extensive cookbook collection, it has a lot of nostalgia for me.
Sadly, time takes its toll, and my little lunch bag cookbook is now falling apart. So I used one of its pages to make this card. Being old, the page was fragile, so I started by adhering it to some cardstock to give it strength.
This week's Teapot challenge is to use materials that spell out "CARE". I had "C" (cardstock), "A" (Adhesive) and "R" (rain)...but what about "E"? Looking around my craft room, I saw my embroidery threads. That would work! Using an awl and a self-healing mat, I punched rows of holes in the spaces between the comic panels, which I used for stitching with brown embroidery thread.
Finally, I added the sentiment, which was given to me by joella58 in a Welcome RAK she sent (thanks again!). On the inside of the card, it says "...or, at least, someone to hold an umbrella over your head."

I just loved hearing about your Peanuts cookbook page that you've used to create the most adorable card for Christine .... the stitching just takes this over the top! What a fantastic card to brighten Christine's day!
