Make You Smile

What sort of things make you smile? Would a handmade card? A phone call? An in person visit? What about a dog? cat? bearded dragon?

Is it someone special? When someone makes you smile, make sure you let them know. Maybe by letting someone know they make you smile, it will make them smile in return.

Things that make me Smile

Dogs
Babies
Grandma

Learning new things

Watching a good comedy
Learning more about Jesus
Sharing about Jesus
Finding an out of the box solution

Blue card with front layer of red cardstock. White rectangle is at the bottom right corner of the front. It is stamped with a puppy and the sentiment, "you make me smile."

Card Details

This is a simple card using only stamps, ink, and paper. You could stamp directly on the card front. Or, layer as many different colors of cardstock as you choose. Want different colors? Change them up. Want more colors? Add more layers.

I can’t think of anything that has me smiling more than dogs. So, if you receive a card from me with a dog on it saying you make me smile, know that I really mean it.

Inside of card with dog stamped on bottom right corner and three smiley face stamped up left edge.

To show just how serious I was, there are even smiley faces on the inside of the card.
