I needed to make a thank you note for friends who coordinated a big landscaping project at a friend’s home whose been ill for over a year.  Our friends made the food and found twelve other volunteers for the project.  I really appreciate all of the work he put into it.

I’m using a tag that I eventually cut down with a Creative Memories personal trimmer so that it fits on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ card base.  I stamped the typewriter from Close to my Heart set called Typed Note.  There are a lot of sentiments that you stamp inside what would be the paper as it comes out of the typewriter, so I used a thank you sentiment from the same set.  I used Onyx Black by Versafine to stamp my sentiment.  I layered it on a ripped paper from an old French textbook.  I used Frayed Burlap ink from Distress ink to distress my French paper with a Judikins brush and used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to go around the edges of my tag.  I used the Frayed Burlap on the tag as well.  I used burlap ribbon to go through the top of the tag but it was too thick and I ended up not really loving it and should have gone with a thinner ribbon.  I used some double sided tape to adhere the French paper to the craft colored card stock that was 5 1/2 x 4 1/4″ .  The double sided tape didn’t adhere the paper so I used some Tombow Mono adhesive glue to glue it to the craft card stock.   I’m not sure of the dimensions of the French paper as I just tore it using the card base as the guide.  I used foam tape to adhere the tag to the French paper.
