Whimsical Vintage Humor Card



     
      Currently, I am in a swap that requires altering, perhaps make it vintage with a twist. I love looking at old newspaper or magazine ads and thinking about what other sayings could go with the pictures. I was asked to create a greeting card, and I figured that we could always use a Get Well card. So I found an underwear ad where a guy is looking down at his tighty whiteys, when I first saw this I imagined a mother's voice in the background telling her kids that you need to always wear a clean pair of underwear when leaving the house. My mom said that, and perhaps her mother told her that. Hense, the clean underwear legacy. I typed the following statement:

Suddenly, the words of his mother haunted him, And he wasn't so sure anymore.

The inside greeting reads: 

Start your day fresh. Get Well Soon.

A Random Act of Kindness from a Dear Friend Michelle

A few days ago, I went to my mailbox and found a package there that brought a huge smile to my face. Recently, I have met so many wonderful ladies on the Cricut Messageboards and we have a tendinacy to mail RAK's (Random Acts of Kindness) to those we feel need a little spirit lifter from time to time. Michelle created a beautiful handmade card which she embellished and altered and sent me some amazing little Victorian Embellishments which I will use soon. I just wanted to thank her publically and show the world that something as simple as a nice card or letter can make the differance in a person's life.
