Papertrey's July 2011 Blog Hop




I made a little tissue box card today.





I've wanted to make one like this for awhile.


I cut the "tissue box" with an oval cutter and then put an acetate square behind the hole. 



Then I cut an "X" with a craft knife and pushed some tissue through.






Thinking tissue would be too cutesy for a sympathy card,




I thought a good book....the type that makes you cry... would be fun.;)


I am making this post short so you can hop along.....






Here is the inspiration photo:




I also entered this in Paper Crafts Color Inspiration Challenge #7
