Desk Card

Live, Laugh, Love...


Instead of making a stair step card lying down, 
I wanted to make one vertical to sit on a desk.

Size:  6" x 9"  Scored at 2 1/4", 4 1/2" and 6 3/4"

The argyle strips have been weaved through slots
that was made by folding in half at 4 1/2" score line and 
cutting lines from fold to next score line at 1 1/2", 3" and 4 1/2" down the panel.

I believe one of the secrets to life is learning to live, 
find laughter and something to smile about, no matter what is going on 
and experiencing one of the greatest gifts to give and receive...to love. 

It's my prayer that we will find these treasures in each and every day!

After all, we have to go through life anyway, we might as well
choose how we look at things!  It makes all the difference!
