Scribble Cards

When was the last time that you scribbled?

Scribbling is fun & beautiful

Especially when you frame it!

*The favorite Big Box Store has a $1 area 

*Bought an 8 pack of blank cards/envelopes for a dollar

*Cut a tie, flames, hand & heart out with scissors

*Used double sided tape to attach scribbling inside the card

*You warm my heart*

Just grab a fist full of colored pencils or crayons and scribble like crazy!

No need for blank cards, just fold paper in half.  You could use newspaper, copy paper, construction paper, card stock and more.
