Cards for MIL

Every time my mother-in-law comes to my house, I frantically try to make cards before her arrival. I am her card supplier. I interrogates her on whether she's bought any cards since I've last seen her, and she gets a scolding if her answer is "yes." She visited this past weekend and that set in motion some serious card making. It's an exercise in dichotomy for me. On the one hand, I want them to be simple and quick to make to dispense some leftover supplies; on the other hand, I don't want them to be sub-par lest people question my crafting ability (as if they even know me!). Like I said, dichotomy!

This little batch is pretty enough that they may appear at my company's annual United Way auction. I will be in Shanghai during that time, or somewhere in Asia, but I think I know someone who will help me list some cards for a good cause. :)
