celebrate love

I've got a couple of cards to share, all of them for my sister, read yesterday's post for details.  Sometimes it's easier to express yourself through cards when you're at a loss for words.  I think she'll like the cards, hopefully they'll make her smile.

The Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge was the source of inspiration for this card.  I upcycled a heart my son made in preschool and used some more burlap from the local coffee shop.

The colors are from The Play Date Cafe, this is basically a redo of this card.

The Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge provided the base for this super simple thank you card.  One of the themes for my sister's upcoming wedding is pine cones, so I thought it'd be nice to have an extra thank you card, if I were smart I'd make a box of 'em, but mass producing just isn't my thing, so she'll have to make due with one.
