Sister and Mom Word Art

I initially made these two word art projects to fit inside this cute charm I purchase at Stampinup.com

They were incredibly easy to make.  I simply printed out the graphic below at1.5”x2” cut the print out and stuck it inside the charm.  The charm has a front and a back so on the reverse side I printed out the initial for their first name.
