October Happy Mail card

 I never posted a card last month because I mailed them all out and forgot to get a picture of them. I didn't even have a picture to use for the email version I send out. 

I didn't forget this month though.

This card required ripping yellow, orange and white paper, inking the edges and gluing them together. Then just make a little black spot for the eyes to peek out of.


And here is the inside

I put together 10 of these cards and never noticed until I went to put the inside sentiment in that I did them all backwards. Instead of opening on the right like they should, they all open on the left.

It is October so it is the time for treats and tricks. That's what I'm going to use as my excuse for doing this.

the card was a trick and a treat. I am betting everyone laughed and thought you did it on purpose.. if they made books like that, we would read that way and now I wonder who started reading left to right not right to left

I was going to say the opening thing is perfect for October!

There's no law that says we must always do things the same way with cards. Your cards are extra unique!

The reverse card was a happy accident. I've actually seen cards like that in stores. Peep eye to your little guy on the front
Hugs to you and Gibbs

Love your Peek-a-Boo card. The way your card opens up makes it unique and totally yours.
