A Child's Card

My cousin will be visiting a home for abandoned children this weekend and she thought of giving them each a personalised gift, packed especially for them. So I made in total 7 gift tags for the boys and 6 for the girls.


As I made them each different, and pasted the names of each kid on the card - I did think to myself how each of them are like; their appearance, character (would a star be appropriate or maybe a ribbonised-button would suit him/ her better).

But listening to my cousin's description of the home, there is one similarity for all of them, they were all deprived of a childhood. Instead of toys, they prefer necessities such as books, stationary and toiletries as gifts.


As for the girls' cards, it was definitely slightly easier as I added my sweet touch to it. :)

Above all, told my cousin to write encouraging words in the cards - my wish is for them to feel appreciated always!

A Sweet Birthday


A close friend asked me for a birthday card for a special friend (his first ever sealed and mailed birthday card). I was excited and keen to make it as beautiful as the recipient. :)

The only thing he requested for the card to be in different shades of blue and its' style is to be simple 'n' nice. Well, I hope she likes it and more importantly touched by his sincerity.
