14 Days of Love Projects - #10 Game Night Tin

When this new stamp set and Designer Series Paper were released, I was thrilled. Ever since I was a little girl and my Grandma Rice taught me to play Kings on the Corners, I have truly enjoyed playing cards. I used to wake up early and play solitaire on my desk in my bedroom (which truly annoyed my little sister Mary Jo especially when I shuffled the cards) In Wisconsin, one of the traditional games is Sheepshead. I learned this game in the high school lunchroom (Catholic School education - what can I say?), and I wish I could get together with my friends to play this game more often. My mother-in-law taught me to play Spite and Malice - and she is a true card shark! So card games are very dear to my heart. Here is a tin for the card lover in your life - you could add dice, quarters, a "doubler" chip, game rules, bridge notepad and pencils...you get the idea!
