I must admit that there are a few I.O.U. tickets stuffed into the piggy bank of my boys. They seem to gather more quarters than anyone I know and it is tempting to grab a few to take to work for a soda during the day. I promise that I always pay up with the pig is cashed, and the boys make sure of it1
I.O.U. tickets! Paper Smooches has this card on their blog today! Why? Because I'm the August Guest Designer, I still can't believe it myself!
I used their new alphabet set, Graffiti, to create a thank you card. The I.O.U. letters were stamped onto solid card stock and perforated at the edge before attaching to the card base. The "thanks" sentiment comes from the classic Sentiment Sampler set and the fun brackets are also from the new Graffiti set. I followed a few trends on this card: ombre, color blocking and an ode to texting!
