18 cards and counting....I think 2 dozen will be the amount I will actually send out. This is for a friend and co-worker of my DH who was called to active duty in the Middle East. He left behind a wife and 4 small children (under 7). We were getting a care package together and I thought it would be nice to give him a set of cards to send home on a regular basis. I made some Mother's day and a Father's day card for his mom/dad/wife. A few birthday cards, some kid cards, some miss you cards and some thank you cards. Some blank cards as well, just for notes. I used some patterned paper for some of the quick cards, but mainly stamping and ribbons.

Update: I ended up making 28 cards - plus some stationary (rolled with wheels) and matching envelopes. There were 30 sheets of stationary, 15 matching envelopes with the Bug Wheel, the swirly twirly wheel, and a plaid wheel. I used greens and reds and blues...they turned out fantastic as well. Hope this gift brightens his day... Thanks Tex!
