The story chronicles a boy's life as he finds courage, a family, joy and love. It's a classic and it warms my heart reading this story, about this Oliver Twist.
It's time for another Limelight Papercraft's Sketch Challenge with a twist to focus on your favorite patterned paper! I recently discovered this adorable boy pack available at Limelight, Oliver by Basic Grey (which happens to be on sale at the store!). Yes, a-dorable! I made a few clean and simple, easy to mail thank you cards for a mama-of a baby boy-to be to send out after he's born. (Thanks to the very talented Valerie for reminding me about the cute little safety pins, perfect for baby cards!)
Check out what the other Limelight gals have in store for you-Mandy, Lisa, JenMarie, and Lynn. Post YOUR creation on Mandy's blog- I'd love to check out what papers strike your fancy right now! Oh, and did I mention that a random winner will receive a sticker prize package from Limelight?!!!
A quick thanks on my part to all those veterans that have served for our country and to make life free for my boys. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
