No Adhesive Allowed!

Sadly,

we have a young man from our church

who is serving a life sentence

without chance of parole.

His mother and grandmother

sit in front of my husband and I

every Sunday.

His birthday is coming up this week

and a plea was made to send him cards

to let him know that we care about him

and are praying for him.

But---

I know from having helped with the Kairos Prison Ministry

and making (stamping) place mats for that

that NO ADHESIVE--STICKERS and GASP---

NO POP DOTS

are allowed.

Not even a sticker return address label on the enve.

I **think** this will pass--

all the paper is layered only by slipping it into slits

made by the Stampin' Up "slitty" punch

(that's that little half-circle you see...)

and the flip part is using the SU Framelits

All the paper is Close to My Heart

Footloose (sadly retired)

The name is the Bohemian Alphabet stamp set

and the sentiment is an "oldy-moldy" stamp

from my stash...

it's soooo hard to know what to say...

I hope it will make a little difference...

Now that I know that I can do this---

without adhesive...

I can do a little more to reach out to this young man.

He has changed

and I have no doubt that he can touch and change lives

even where he is...

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping.

Blessings,
