Cut out the form of a much smaller heart and write a message on it. Open the paper and you will see that the tab, which juts inward, is formed in two parts. Glue the bottom tip of the smaller heart onto the bottom part of the tab. Once the glue has dried, the card can be further decorated. When your recipient of choice opens the card, your message will pop out.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett was born Ida B. Wells in 1862 in Holly Springs, Mississippi. The oldest of eight children, Wells became a teacher to support her younger siblings after the death of her parents in 1880 from yellow fever. Despite her many obstacles, financial and racial, Wells finished her studies at Rust College and in 1888, became a teacher and anti-lynching activist in Tennessee. She became editor and co-owner of a local black newspaper called "The Free Speech and Headlight," and Wells utilized her editorial column to denounce the lynching of blacks and encourage the black people of Memphis to move west.

In his book, "Crimes Against Nature," Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. demonstrates that he is the definition of a true patriot. While the Bush administration attempts to evoke patriotism by fighting terrorists, which evidently includes donning flight-suits to announce the end of Middle Eastern "conflicts" and alerting the public about frightening terror-alert colors, Kennedy focuses on a fundamental issue that citizens could actually exert control over: the environment.
