French Inspired Thank You Card




Here is a thank you card that took a few mis-starts to get. It is going to an amazing woman, who is kind enough and cares enough to go and help out my Gram. She's 89 and needs some help around the house, even though she won't say it. But Sue goes over there sometimes it sounds like on a daily basis and makes sure that things are okay for Gram.



It took a couple of different card designs before I settled on this. I saw the image of the 19th century woman that looked to be wearing some sort of french design for clothing. They are after all the place to get clothing back in the day. I saw the image on a piece of paper I had and knew that was what I wanted to go with. I was able to use the whole sheet of paper, that the image came on and I think that my tri-fold card turned out pretty darn well considring it's the first of my making some attempts at it.


I used my Cricut to cut out the Thank You on the inside of the card since it has such a nice look to it. I was tempted to use merci, but I thought a simple Thank You would be enough, and not too theme-y.

Welcome Back



We welcome back a fellow employee back from materity leave, and looking good coming back for sure. Welcome Back Jennifer! Sorry I couldn't personally hand it over but know that I made it with plenty of hours of hemming and hawing before coming to this.


Again Welcome Back!

I made with card using both machines so I think it meshed well with things.

Tweeting A Birthday Greeting






So everyone is Tweeting this, and FB'ing that. I thought I would add my spin to that on this birthday card. The cage and bird are from my Silhouette, while the frame is from my Cricut Expression machine and the Fancy Frams cartridge. The words "Tweeting A Birthday Greeting" are cut using my Silhouette again, using the Alice in Wonderland font. I do so love that font!




I made the inside short and sweet, it's a belated birthday card so I didn't want to spend a ton of time on it even though I was chalked full of ideas for this card. The person has requested the colors of green and purple, and I think this worked out quite nicely.


I hope the person enjoys their card, because it was quite fun to make.
