A while back, I mentioned sending cards to soldiers. What I didn’t tell you was that I actually
have 3 servicemen that I am currently sending cards to while they are on active
duty in the military. One is a classmate
of my daughter, Christen, whose Marine Reserves unit was deployed to
Afghanistan last summer. The other two
are classmates of my own, one a career Navy officer who is currently out to sea
on maneuvers, the other a career Army officer who was recently been deployed.
I was running out of time to make some cards for them since
the last thing I sent was at Christmas, so I rummaged around and found these
patriotic-looking cards. I made these
last year for a card swap. The theme was
Valentine’s and I tried to do something unconventional. I suppose I could save them to give as
Valentine’s, but I think by changing them up a bit, I can put them to better
purpose.
The changes to these cards were relatively quick and
simple:
- Stamp the logbook over red hearts
- Stamp “Thank U” and punch with Large Decorative Lable punch to cover up another dark red heart
- Replaced the white cardstock sentiment inside the card.
What about you? Have you ever come back to a project you
finished long ago and completely redesign in?

I just realized I didn't include the original sentiment with the photo of the original card. In case you are curious how a nautical theme became a Valentine's card, the sentiment read, "You are my compass. You are my anchor. You are my port in every storm."
