Cards for Friends

 

I have two new project to share. The first is a set of thank you cards I made for a friend of mine, Jessica,  that got married on April 1st.

We haven’t known each other for a long time – less than a year, but I love her to death. And, apparently, I know her fairly well because she loves the owl.

My second is a card I made for another friend, Sara,  that’s moving this weekend. She’s getting married, so she and her fiancé built a house closer to his job in Huntsville. She’s seen her card, but I’m going to mail it to her after I write a message for her.

Sara and I text each other ALL day. And our conversations are so ridiculous! I’m always making her laugh about something. She’s usually the first person that gets to see my cards. And, I’ve come to find out that she’s a huge fan of glitter, so I made it a point to bling up her card.

I’m also entering this card into the CTO Challenge #9.

Here are all the details:
