Egyptian Thank You

I made this card for my sister at work. She had truly been sanity in time of complete and told craziness.

Thank you Courtney!

I also got my Silhouette and was playing with the machine when I made this. I do so love it though, Egyptian is a huge part of my interests.

89 Years and still doing her thing!

My Gram has made it 89 years on this world, and although a bit doom and gloom (where I got mine from), she's an amazing person. She's seen and done so much in her life, and I'm proud to call her my Gram!

I made the card with the thought of the 1930's, when she would have been a teenager.

Happy Birthday Gram!

Thank You Notecards

I wanted to find a way to say "Thank you" to those that work very hard at what they do. Our campus has an Information Resources (IR) team and only 5 of those work in what is call SAMs (System Account Management). Now I know they get a ton of calls and emails, but they always do amazing work with the limited resources they have and for that I am always very appreciative of what they do for not only me personally, but for the department and the campus as a whole.

From left to right, the following people have received a "Thank you" note from me.

Wedding Bells in the Air

Well this is the card I made for my former boss, to congratulate her on soon to become a beautiful bride.

Congratulations Shashea! Count down the days...this would be 22 if I'm not mistaken.

I must say that this one of my most favorite cards that I have made to date. I do so love the peacocks after all.

Material Girl's Birthday Wish

I made this card for one of my co-workers for her birthday. I thought it suited her quite nicely. I think it is still hanging up last I saw it.

I'm late, I'm late for a very important date.....

Now as most of the people who have received a card from me, I'm not the fastest at the task, but I have good reason. With work, the four-legged kids and general craziness I have going on, card tend to take a long time. Add to that the fact that I never want create more than one of two of the same card, so that tends to lead the brain down paths which of course get you sidetracked. Like picking out paper, sounds simple, huh? Yeah right! I pick one piece then another one that would work better...you can see where this is going don't you?

So with that being said, I was late for one of my co-workers birthday. I wished her a happy birthday on her birthday, and apologized on her card not being complete. For the most part the card was planned and pieces had been cut out but time slips away from you and then it is bed time. Now if I could work a full day at work and then spend another who knows how many hours at night card making, I would be most excellent but that isn't going to happen now or even in the near future.

The theme of the card just sort of card to me after looking through my purchases at the Scrapbook Convention. I had just purchased some Alice in Wonderland cling stamps, so I thought I would test them out. As you can see the finished project is very nice, I didn't want to give it up, but I know I can make another one if need be. Photos are a great thing!

This card took the better part of 4 hours, since I had to test on if the embossing power would stick enough so that I could continue with my plan. I must say, it's up there on the like factor for me.

A Floral Birthday Wish

Birthday wishes that I only wished I could get out on time or to people that need them.

A very important date

I made this for the best sister in the world! I hope you truly did enjoy it along with the gift card for B&N for your new Nook.

To the Rescue!

Here's a "get well soon" card that I couldn't resist not making. The cardinal just called to me to make a card out of him.

Penning Hello

I always do seem to love making "thinking of you" cards. I am especially in love with the Sentimentals cartridge for the Cricut, hence why it keeps showing up.

Gratitude

A card make for someone that has truly been my sanity at work.

Asian themed Birthday Greeting

I seemed to have been in a birthday card making mood, so I produced quite a few of them.

Birthday Greeting

I made this card for no other reason to cut out the hand with quill. I think it turned out much better than I thought it would.

It's Your Day

I made this card for no reason at all. I just wanted to use the stamp on the inside and the cut on the outside.

Random Acts of Gratitude

This card turned out much more different than I had planned on it. I had thought it would be a simple thanks card but it turned out to be much more than that. I've found the world of pop-up dots and I find they add another dimension that I didn't have before. With this card I went with simple but it ended up being so much more.

Congratulations Grad!

Someone graduated from their Master's program, and of course I couldn't let that slide by. So instead I made this card here, using the school colors to outfit the graduation cap. I tried a couple things with this one but I liked how it turned out.

Wedding Bells

So this was another card that I made for one of my mom's co-workers who got married May 14th. Jodi has sort of blonde/brown here so I colored in our brides hair to match as best I could. Wade I hear is a handsome fellow with salt -n-pepper gray hair but he ended up with black for my purposes. Sorry Wade! Nothing against you.

I absolutely love this card, I had half a mind not to give it away but I did in the end. I have a photo of it to remember it by.

Mother's Day Cards Continued

Here is the card that I made for my own mother. She seemed tickled pink with the cards theme.

Happy Mother's Day!

First Paid Commission Card

This is my first commission card that I have made. In most cases I just make them for fun and for special occasions. I was more than okay with making a card for the person. Heck I'm getting paid. So it is a graduation card, I'm hopeful that the receiver will like it. I did a steampunk theme'd card. It's for a girl that is graduating from high school and she seemed to like that sort of thing.

Wedding Cards

So a co-worker of my mom's is getting married this weekend, and so I was asked to make a card for the special couple. It seemed that once I started I wanted to make a card for the bride more than for the couple, that might have been because I have the Wedding solutions cartridge that makes it a bit easier to work with. So I made this card for Jodi (the bride) and used my wedding solutions cartridge.

I've found that vellum does the most amazing thing when you print on it. Inkjets are a good thing it seems. I'm just loving that, so I used vellum on the front of the card with a font that I found online and then embossed it. The inside was just simple and to the point.
