Little Thank Yous

At around 11:30pm tonight I had an idea for a set of little 3x3 "Thank You" cards. Rather than doing the sensible thing and writing down my idea to work on tomorrow, I did the very insensible thing and went ahead and made them tonight. I also took pictures and now I am blogging about said cards. I am definitely going to be paying for this in 5 hours when my kids are up and ready to start the day!

This set of 4 little cards are, I think, perfect for a little girl's birthday thank you notes. Or, they would also be cute for thanking friends and family for sweet little baby gifts. What do you think?

I distressed the 3 sides of the card like Lisa Johnson did in the Make it Monday Challenge this week. I also picked soft pastels and butterflies, a spring theme to go along with the Papertrey Peeps March Petite challenge.

I love the way they look all together!

Thanks for stopping by!
