Love
Outside: It has been said that we need just three things in life: Something to do, Something to look forward to And someone to love.—Anonymous

Outside: Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit.—Khalil Gibra

Kid’s cards
Kids love seeing their name, accomplishments and/or hobbies as part of the design or sentiment of the card. Really impress them with a card that is personalized for them alone.

This one works for “kids” of any age. Use the letters of their name (or initials if the name is too long) to describe them. For instance: Amazing-Marvelous-Brainy-Endearing-Rosy-cheeked=Amber or FLG could be Funny-Loveable-Gorgeous

Focus the card around their age and then list the number of things that characterize them. For a child’s fifth birthday you could say “Five things about Ben” 1-Strong 2-Fast 3-Smart 4-Handsome 5-Funny.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Don’t forget to check out the lyrics of songs, poems and book and movie/TV quotes too. Once you get started you may find you’ll want to make more than one card! Be sure to read Do’s and Don’ts Of Greeting Card Sentiments.
