We've even had several artists in the church convert paintings to cards at Office Depot and donate them. I put each card and envelope in cello bags so they stay clean when handled. The cards are displayed in an old brochure rack on the wall outside the church office, with a large envelope for money. It's all operated on the honor system, and I check the envelope every time I'm at church, clear out the money to a safe place, and when there's at least $50 I make a deposit to the church. We've raised $435 in about 7 months.

It was very easy to line up the butterfly over the sentiment using tweezers to stick it down with the dimensionals.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Susan Raihalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018860599601419989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-31492052688366038502017-01-24T10:16:47.893-05:002017-01-24T10:16:47.893-05:00Did you really just stamp OVER the butterfly?
