I want to update the May altar as Grandma's peonies finally bloomed.
Now back to the blog.
When I started making greeting cards for friends and family, I would look for vintage religious images to embellish the cards. A child's First Holy Communion is such a special day. I wanted to create a memory card for each of my girls.
This is one of my most favorite vintage holy cards.
Attached on a satin ribbon, I tied a crystal heart to the knot.
I found this beautiful font on the Internet. I think the message is a beautiful insert for the card.

And the complete card. It is so easy to find these images on the Internet. Try your hand at making one this May.
A bit of backstory on my First Communion. Here is a picture of my 2nd grade First Communion class. There were 109 children in the picture. That was 2 classrooms full of kids. Roughly, there were at least 54-55 students in one class. Can you image a classroom today with that many?
In the day, my Grandmother took all of our First Communion cards and glued them into a scrapbook, with each grandchild having their very own page.. Here is an image of some of my cards.
A child's First Communion is a major event in their lives. I am so happy to have such fond memories of my First Communion.
What a beautiful memory!
