Belated Birthday Card

I made this card my sister as a belated birthday card.  With the week I had at work, I didn't have enough energy to make her a card before her birthday.  So here it is the day of her birthday and the card is now sitting on my craft area desk and not in her mail box as it should have been.

Sorry A, know that I didn't forget just got caught up.

I tried some new techniques on this card, I used my Sew Easy which makes it look like you used a sewing machine.  I have a small sewing machine but I'm not sure if I need it or not.  It was cheap so it's not a total loss if keep it for some reason or another.

I hope you like it!

Donut Know how Much to Thank You Notecard

I made this card for one of the System Accounts Management group, since they do so much for me.  They probably get little appreciation from the university but I wanted to take a minute and thank them each personaly for all the work they have done for not only me but for the university as a whole.  They keep us ticking whether or not people want admit it or not.

India's Bridal Gown

Here is my latest Bridal related card.  This time it is a Sari (Saree, depending on you) along with some Arabic that says "Bride" as least according to the computer.  A reliable source, no?  Anyway, this was a tough one because there aren't a lot of pictures of Saris out there that I could work with.  I finally did find a photo/drawing that I was able to use and tweak to make it work for me.  The original version didn't have the flowing back piece (in pink) but that is the way that some of the Indian women I know wear their sari's "scarf" for lack of a better word.  I blinged it up a bit with some gems that I got at M's to replace the squares that came out of the translation cut.  I used an embossing folder to give the pink paper the gauzy looking I was attempting to get on it, I think it turned out okay but I had wished I had some fabric to try and make it look more realistic.  Maybe on the next one I will try and find some scrap of fabric to try and use it on the pattern that I have made for this particular piece.

On the inside it says:  "The perfect wedding dress fits you like your love fits your mate; Perfect in everyway.  Congratulations

The quote is my own, and while putting the card together I came up with a couple of sayings I could use on cards but those will have to wait since it is time for.......GASC (Great American Scrapbook Convention)!!!!  Money will be thrown around and new goodies will be gotten and more cards will be made.

Cheers!
