12-1 Pop up card

For my pop-up card, I made a love letter to my boyfriend Steven.
The process was a fun one in class, I had fun figuring out how to make the lights turn on, and how to connect the LED tape, in order for them to receive the message from the battery source. I went through some frustrations in class when I noticed that that the light sources was not strong enough to be lit, but then when Richard my teacher came up to me in class to test out the light source of the light, and I saw that the LED lights were lighting up just a tiny bit, we realized together that it was the battery source that was not strong enough. Hannah, one of my classmates came up to me and was kind enough to let me borrow her extra flat round battery and "Voila" there was a light source. Then I unfortunatly covered up my circuit process, with was is now come to be a love letter with the hearts shining with the light source under them. i decorated my card with hearts that I cut out with pink construction paper, and then covered around it with a dark brown construction paper so that the pink construction paper can be illuminated even more, then I added my cover page and spine for the book, and the backing of the card with red construction paper. I was really proud of myself for taping the circuits together and how i decided to decorate the card. I then wrote a very very sweet love letter to Steve, my boyfriend showing my love for being there for me through this hardous process of not only being in a rough city like New York, but to also be in graduate school wher teachers are assessing your work all the time, and you are constantly following deadlines.
