One Word: Awesome
I made this card for an 11 year old boy who just received the pretty awesome news that he has won his battle with leukemia. It doesn’t get much more awesome than that, does it?
Since I have no awesome stamps for a boy that age, I relied on my Stampin’ Up! Headline Alphabet to sum it up in a word. Big news, big word. The designer paper is Memory Box Glitterati. The simple, no frills, boy-type design makes this a “no extra postage required” card, just right for sharing on One Stamp Wednesday, the day I devote to these Post Office friendly cards.
That’s it in a nutshell! My goodness, these simple cards don’t require much explanation, do they? I’ll be back with something pretty for Flourishes Friday Focus. I hope to see you then. Take care!
Stamps: SU! retired Headline Alphabet Paper: Whisper White, Brilliant Blue, Memory Box Glitterati designer paper Ink: Brilliant Blue Accessories: None



Cards for 11 year old boys are hard whatever the theme, but this is perfect.
