When Ange sent me this NEW
arched window card keeper CK03 , I knew instantly what I wanted to "keep"inside, my precious love letters from when my husband and I first started dating. I kept the card keeper fairly simple, I just covered the back and front in pattern paper then once the glue was dry, trimmed the excesss off, sanded and then inked the edges.

I added a ring to the top and then tucked my love letters inside.
To finish off the front I added one of the new Scrapware Mini lamp posts, which I simply inked in brown chalk and layered over some simple embellishments and a photo.

On the back I have added a
vine branch CH298 again simply inked with brown chalk ink.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOeeQWxB1n8ioB52ZXsd1r1YAWjo_CLUY-sMYUk9mj62IzRSCR7sbSZLC9jUmzgCLB2ZOC0tJt6S3Xq_V0B5C45-6AiEpugVFy3LrslvfoqgAIvhg2YSAtmZUTVGIDFgbdbgY2SRwYKiA/s400/057.JPG)
To finish off I tied it together with some bakers twine and organza, to complete the romantic look but also in the hope that I can easily open it to add more letters LOL!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4k-qNfRXHOyGXZAdZq7PBbWEw4SWI4xFs4a65VP6u-kJYv-cGHlbYImOue10eSVP2m7wSe5hKDMO1deSlsUTt-dWTU7IhCZsxmFIeDPhj47Z1de6p12JkhflntPcrXvjzAuXeMb3ZHTQ/s400/061.JPG)
