Wanted to share a few cards I received for my birthday last week. The first card is very special to me because it is the first card my husband has ever made for me!!!!!! I am so proud of him. Not bad for his first card ever, without instructions too! It was a complete surprise waiting on the kitchen table for me when I arrived home from work.


The second card is from my secret sister from Australia. Love the glitter! Lots of fun to receive good snail mail!
