Every once in a while, when the store doesn’t quite have what I’m looking for, I make my own greeting cards. Today, I took a whole hour for lunch (the luxury!) and worked on these for my stinky little Skype buddies – my nephew Owen and my niece Penny who are turning three and two, respectively. Man, I love those kids. Theirs are likely the only cards that will arrive on time this year – no stamp required!
I LOVE these!! Love the cards, love that you made them for your niece and nephew, and love the encouragement in them.
You are such a cool auntie!! 
These are both amazing! Love the quote on the one for your niece. Is that a Fish original or did you get it somewhere else. I’m itching to steal it…with proper acknowledgement of course!

That was all me – although, I have been working on the text. Hadn’t really been through a refinement process yet!
Argh, that should’ve been a question mark and I don’t know where that parenthesis came from. Sorry, I’m OCD about grammar…the obvious stuff anyway.
Outstanding.
Love these! Wish I could be that creative in making cards. As a graphic designer I make lots of cards for family but never thought this creatively.. bit jealous!
Did your nephew actually climb up and get stuck up there in the closet?
Amazing!
Yes, indeed he did. And then he apologized to his mother for getting “way, way up there.”
Happy Birthday, Little Ones!
Your cards made me cry…I am 30 weeks pregnant, so lots of things make me cry. I hope my kids have Aunts who love them as much as you love you niece and nephew! Happy birthday to those darling kiddos!
Lovely!
*LOVE!*
The first card to Owen makes me tear up. I hope that his mama saves it for sometime later on in life when some sort of teenage/young adult angst has gotten him down. That’s a message for LIFE.
Fabulous cards. It’s good to have cool aunts who invest in you. Your nieces and nephews are fortunate.
Beautiful!!
That top one? That was *me*! Owen, you’re a kid after my own heart. Penny? I wanted to be you. I’d hurt myself trying to dance. Great job, auntie!
OMG I read both of these and got to comments before scrolling back UP and seeing the kid WAY WAY up there. So cute. Love that your sister got a photo of it!
You’re a sweet auntie, btw.
can you be my auntie? Please?
Those are awesome!
These are absolutely awesome. And I’m so in love with the one for your niece. Blossom? I die. And while you’re at it, maybe introduce her to old copies of Sassy magazine! Definitely required reading!
