A Peace Offering

As I predicted, my last post in which I stated that I was withholding my monkey card from my sister even though it was originally meant for her birthday was met with swift retaliation:

I'm going to keep everything I got you in China.
- From the Sister Who Should Be Receiving This Card

Okay, okay, you win. BUT, if I gave you the monkey card now, you would know that you were only getting it because of your threat. So, to show you how much I truly appreciate you and how I hope you had a wonderful birthday, I made you this brand new card especially for you! What an awesome sister I am, right?? Right?? hehe...

Anyhoo, this card is using last week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #80. I broke out my new Cosmo Cricket DeLovely paper pack, which is totally pretty and bright and sunshiney and awesome. I'm on a Hawaiian Shores paper kick, so I matched bright & cheery DP to it. The hot air balloons are from PTI's Everyday Button Bits set and the sentiment is Verve. I wish that I had like Rasberry Fizz or Hibiscus Burst buttons but alas, I don't, so I had to use 2 Hawaiian Shores button and 1 Lemon Tart button. Sad...RF and HB buttons are going on my next PTI order!!

  2. One card = "I'm sorry!"
    TWO cards = "I'm sorry and I mean it!"

  3. i'm not sure where you are reading that she is giving you two cards. It sounds like she's giving you this new card instead. I think that other one is still way cuter.
