Thank you Cards

 If you have been here for any length of time, you know I'm a big believer in gratitude and telling people when I think they've done a good job! 

Last year, in October, I did a walking challenge to raise money for the Black Dog Institute. They are a not for profit organisation in NSW, Australia, which offers support programs for people who are struggling with their mental health. They have lots of resources on their website too. 

While I walked... a challenge for me... my friends and family 'sponsored' me, by donating to the Black Dog Institute One Foot Forward Campaign. Of course, when my team managed to raise over $1000 for mental health awareness and support programs, I had to send all my donors a thank you card! 

I made two batches of cards. 

One set of cards was a little play on the "black dog" title. 

"Black Dog" was an Aussie slang word for having depression. 
"He's been bitten by the black dog" or "She's got the black dog". 

Everyone knows how much I love a good pun!
I got a stamp set from Gina K Designs of fruit puns. 
The shapes layer together to make fruits
and have matching 'punny' greetings.
"Thanks a Melon"  Get it?  Hahaha. 
There is also, "I love you BERRY much"
and "ORANGE you the cutest"
Hilarious! 

Now, we have to have a rainbow!!!

A bit of paper tearing and some ink blending makes this gorgeous background for a big "Thank you" sentiment and a butterfly die cut. I made this card for my Aunty.  

I love when I can combine sentiments from different stamp sets. 

That's that then. 

It's a small thing, but saying thank you can mean a lot.  It could change someone's day, just to be acknowledged for their effort.  You don't have to send a card... although you could... just say it. 

Thank you for visiting today!  I really do appreciate it.
