Military Card Service Project

I am a 4-H Volunteer and my club participated in a county wide service project today.  Our club created 100 cards for Veterans in a VA Hospital.  We provided a crumb cake base, real red, pacific point and whisper white squares and rectangles, a star punch, the Words of Courage stamp set, various Thank You stamps, black ink and adhesive. The kids provided the inspiration and creativity.  Hopefully our Veterans will feel honored hen they receive the card next week!
