Family card exchange times seventeen

Most of the women in our family make cards.  We used to have a quarterly get together where one would host, serve lunch, plan a few games.  It was a girls day out where we could get together and visit with each other an catch up on what was happening in their lives.  My mother who is now 74 to the youngest girls who are now 12 looked forward to our girls day.  Years have passed, the kids have graduated from college, gotten married and have moved away.  Since there is so much distance between us we are doing a mailing exchange this year.  All our cards are sent to Becca who distributes them to all the participants  (Becca should get lots of chocolate)  I mailed mine to Becca yesterday.  I found some cards on pinterest I really liked so I copied there cards.  We have a competition card this time themed valentines so I made the peekaboo owl card.

I'd like to give someone credit for the peekaboo owl card but unfortunately I cannot find the website.
