Birthday Card: Have a Banner Year!




A personal touch is always appreciated!





This butterfly pattern reminded me of a photo album my best friend Danver 
once gave me for my birthday that he had decorated with butterfly shapes.

DANVER
birthdays are a celebration so his name is spelled out with a flag banner 
which shows through clear film.

Birthday Card: No Man No More




A personal touch is always appreciated!





For the soon-to-be daddy to a little girl John.
He's known as the "no man" in our group of friends because, well,
his first response to everything is a no.
Even when we aren't done with our question, he answers, no.
I'm thinking, that is soon to change... once his baby girl arrives.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 






happy birthday! 
just a simple card with geometric shapes.

Home Sweet Home: The Cowans' New Home




A personal touch is always appreciated! 

A new home is one of the happiest times in one's life.  
It represents a new start, all the hard work, and most important of all, family. 
So of course I had to send a congratulatory card to the Cowans.

Baby's 100 Days: Happy Baggil Sian!




A personal touch is always appreciated! 

Baby Sian was born four days before my nephew Sean, 
and even their names only have one letter difference. 
She is the chunkiest baby ever with dark curly hair. 
A true Michelin baby.

but completely forgot!  aging is not fun.

The Announcement: Sean is Here!




A personal touch is always appreciated! 

This one's for my cousin who lives in korea. 
I would've made a big deal about him turning 21, 
but in korea, 20th birthday is when they become of legal age.
So here's a toned-down card for my adult cousin, 
who happens to be a pretty toned-down kid himself.
