the giving project (tgp) 24-29 [40]

wow that title is confusing. for all intents and purposes, i'm now calling the giving project, TGC, just b/c it's easier for me. okay, so i know i'm totally behind, buuut life has been incredibly busy these past few weeks! i stamped about 9 cards yesterday and have lots to document outside of the stamping, but first thing is first... onto the cards!

this card was made for my aunt (emo is aunt in korean). she is like a mother to me... and she does not have any kids - so i really try to treat her like a mother! :) she's incredibly talented (majored in home economics)
