Girls Need Options & Giveaway

This card was sent to my daughter at school with a box of clothing "options".

Front sentiment:  A girl need options.

I caved and asked for Copic markers for Mother's Day.

I resisted for so long because of the price. Yikes!!!

This is my very first card using them.

Struggle Is Part Of The Story

Here is an encouragement card.

Front Sentiment:  The struggle is part of the story.

I love this stack of books and encouraging sentiment to offer support.

I gave it a rustic look, like an old school library with brick and text print.

This could be used for school, graduation, thank you, teacher, student or continuing professional education course work.

I love how true the sentiment is.
