More Thanks

    These two are takes on two cards I have done before, so I hope that you like them.   By the Tide one, I feel like is much more my color style, compared with the one I had posted previously.  Please remember to send Thank You cards out to all of your family in this season of giving  just to let them know you are thankful for all the thoughtful gifts.  I truly believe that in this world of text and email, a handmade card shows someone that they are worth your time and energy, and that still means something.
