22 thank you cards

Good morning to all
 I have been running out of ideas for cards, so I offered to make a friend some cards for her 2nd grade class and she said yes that would be great! I would love for the kids to send out thank you cards for their sponsors (I was thinking birthday cards, but this will work!) so I decided they would be from kids, thank you cards would probably be boring for them. I left the cards blank and they can write what they want in the note.
I thought I simplified the cards by making the guitar and letters only 2 layers, but it still ended up a lot of busy work but in the end I really like them.(like 6 hours to complete)  

                                           going for Gabby's 2nd grade class

thank you for sweet words

Hello to all, I made this card for a woman at church, she had made my day Thursday (at a funeral) by telling me how great I  am looking. See I have lost 55 pounds (and counting) and she is the first from church, other than my girlfriend, to say something. Since we were at a funeral, I just said thank you very much and left it at that. She has no idea how good she made me feel, so I made this card this morning before we left for church and left it in her mail box. We have a wall of slots where we can leave messages.

My first twisted easel card

good morning all, this twisted easel card I found at Cardz TV, Mary did a great tutorial on how to make this card, she got the instructions from margaretscrafts on youtube under twisted easel cards.
I watched them both and they are both very clear on how to...
I made this card a 4 1/2 x 6 1/4 so I had to do a little figuring on my own
card base  4 1/2 x 10 3/4 ,,,making the fold line @ 6 1/4
and the mat size is 4 1/2 x 6 1/4
every thing is the same after the size change
this is a thank you card for my sister who hosted a sisters time for the 3 of us. it was a much needed time away from the farm that I was excited to do. It rained Wednesday, but did not stop us from going out for lunch and a quick stop at Hobby Lobby,  a great evening dinner with her kids and grandchildren and my daughter and grandchildren that live in Appleton also. Thursday was dry but cool so we spent the morning chatting, lunch and then around 1:00 the marching band from the high school down the block was practicing for a parade this weekend, so we took a little walk to watch them, It was a small group but boy they where good...here is the card...

for the sentiment I started with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 dark purple
cut it on an angel from the top left tip to  1 3/8 inch from the bottom on the right
I then ended up trimming off 1/2 inch off the bottom and the right side to get a better fit
for the lighter paper I made the same cut except I trimmed a bit more off the bottom and the right side.
ONLY TRIM AWAY  from the bottom and the right to keep the shape correct!!!!

A Huge THANK YOU

Today after Church I had a meeting to go to and of course,only a few people are around, mostly from the meeting! Thank goodness,  Jason was still around, When I went to start the car, it was dead. And he had a set of jumper cables in his truck,  for some reason even the key would not work on the trunk, where I keep mine.
this is what I came up with for a thank you card,  He is a big kid himself and I think he will like it
