Thank You / Miss You Card

Made this card for a special MB friend who did a trade of a Cricut vinyl w/ me (my pink for her green) but, on top of that, she gave me two Cricut vinyl figures as a surprise.  Here’s the scoop:- When I asked her if I could purchase the red one from her, she let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, and told me that she was giving me that one, as a surprise.  But, when I received my package, there was another surprise:-  a blue one.  How sweet was that, eh?  So, to thank her, I created this “miss you” card from her “Cricut kids”.

I had a blast creating this card and, the best part:-  The prev. owner of the kids loved the card.  She said, and I quote:-

Hi Linda, 

I received the BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL card today. It brought the biggest smile to my face after a rough day at work. The picture of the kids is beautiful.  How did you get them to stay still long enough for the photo? I am glad they are fitting right in.

Thank you so very much, I will forever keep the card out for display.  J

Sooooo, that is why I do what I do:-  to bring a smile to someone's face.  And. . .it worked!!! J
