Good morning, everyone! I haven't popped onto the blog for a while, but I do lurk here in the background. :) Isn't SCT just the greatest place to hang out for how-to's, inspiration, give-aways and eye candy? I think so! My card today was inspired by the grocery store. Yes, the place we all get milk and eggs!
A few weeks ago, I was in need of someone to help me tear down an outbuilding on my property. Since I live in a tiny town, all of us locals find most of our resources from the huge bulletin board at our grocery store! So there I was, staring at flyers in search of a handyman, and this "tear off" card instantly popped into my head. I figured if I could tear off a phone number, why not apply that same theory to a card?
I pulled together some yummy papers from Simple Stories 24/7, along with a speech bubble by Pebbles, and this is how it turned out:
I created it for a good friend who is going through a rough time in her life, and I know she will love it. With this design idea, image all of the themes you could create! I would love to see your version of a tear off card. Please share!

SCT is definitely a great place to hang out and that card is beautiful. I don't make cards very often but I plan on making this one. It's a beauty, both visually and in sentiment.
