Patterned Occasions Smarty Pants

I wish the Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, and Pool Party paper would have come out a little better in the picture.  I am horrible about ordering Designer Series Paper (DSP) – I mean horrible.  So, I often find myself creating my own DSP with embossing folders or stamps.

We made a few different designs of this card using the Patterned Occasions set out of the Sale-A-Bration set at our Graham class.  I am sending this version off to Operation Write Home.  Ken bought some index cards and wrote several notes on them for me to give the girls when they need a pick me up or did some special.  I thought what a great card for our Military to send home to a child or adult when they did something special.
