For Thank a Mailman Day I made a card for my mail lady. I used a digi that I got for free from being a fan of Fresh Brewed Designs on Facebook! I printed the digi directly on the card, colored it in with Crayola markers (cause I still can't find my Prismacolor pencils), poked a few holes to add some flowers, added some 7mm bling to each corner from my supply shop, and a Thank You stamp from Stampin' Up.

My other day was Random Acts of Kindness Day. I am in an amazing group on Facebook called Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) in which we send each other mostly cards, but sometimes other things. I thought I would make a nice card to randomly send someone in the group. Here it is:

The bracket svg I got here. The sentiment is from the Hot Air Balloon Collage set from TPC Studios. I then added a button (which I colored with ink) and a charm (attached with a brad) both from that I have received from people in the RAK group. The 7mm clear bling and the 5mm light brown bling are from my supply shop.

We will have blog candy to the lucky recipient that remarks on each site along the way!

I had National Nude Day, so my project has naked people on it. I made the card before really thinking about what it would be a card for.

After making the card I thought they looked like Adam and Eve and my friend Jenny agreed and so we came up with the sentiment ,"We were made for each other." I cut the people using the Cricut cart Dress Up Paper Dolls and the sun is part of a cut from Country Life. The bushes and the clouds were cut by hand. All of the paper is Stampin' Up card stock. I added Stickles to give the clouds a silver lining.
