Congratulations (New Principal)

Hi there!  Today's card is a simple one- you can see I didn't even color the image!  I made this for my mom's goddaughter, who became a principal last summer.  I thought it would be cute to use a school-themed image, so I used this one by Stampin' Up! and just stamped it in brown to keep it looking vintage-y.  I think I got the apple paper in a swap, so I'm not sure who manufactured it, but the green hexagons are K & Co.  The sentiment is Clear and Simple Stamps.

I hope you like my creation, thanks so much for stopping by!

Congrats on Your New Job

Happy Saturday, friends!  Today I'm off to the city to see The Mystery of Edwin Drood with my mother.  We haven't spent a day in the city since the summer, so I'm really looking forward to it!  I'll let you know tomorrow how the show is!  :)

Today's card is one I made a while back for my aunt when she got a new job.  I used some papers given to me in a swap and an image by Inkadinkado.  The flower brad is from my stash- can't remember the manufacturer (it's pretty old!).  I love the loud, bright colors on this card because they match my aunt's vibrant personality.  :)

I hope you like my card too, and enjoy the start of your weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!

Way to go

Hi there!  I'm back again to share this card I made for my oldest brother.  He has spent the last four years taking classes to become a journeyman and he recently passed his certification test (he's a welder) so my family took him out for a celebratory dinner and gave him this card.  I made it when I still had my 4th of July supplies handy, so I thought it would be fun to group some stars together for the focal point.  The stamps are from Hobby Lobby and I used different Colorbox inks to coordinate with the MME patterned papers (Lime Twist- Fly a Kite).  I popped them up on different thicknesses of foam tape- hopefully you can see that in the photo below:

The sketch is based off of June's SFYTT, which I'm a little bitter about because I was too late to submit my card- rats!  I had the card made but I hadn't taken the picture and posted it in time, so now I'm out of the running for the grand prize in December, but that's my own fault.  I can always play again next year. :)  Anyway, onto the sketch!

For that bottom strip, I stamped the Paper Smooches sentiment a few times to punctuate the card's purpose.  My brother is a pretty humble and modest guy, so I wanted to get really festive with this card- it has been FOUR years, after all!  :)

I hope you enjoy this bright and cheerful card, thanks for stopping by!

New Kitty

Hi friends!  We have a 2-hour delay this morning, which is a huge treat this time of year!! :D  This card is probably a year old- I'm trying to go back and post any cards I haven't shared yet.  My friend had gotten 2 kittens (which she has since returned, actually! lol) so I got her some cat toys/treats and made this card to go with the gift.  I used several DCWV Pet Stack papers, some lime green ribbon from Target, a Making Memories epoxy tag (tied on with some twine) and a couple of buttons from my stash.  


Now I have to go back and see what other cards have to be shared... I have this thing about not deleting pictures off my camera card until they've been blogged- doesn't anyone else do that?  I get nervous that my computer will crash or something and all of my creations will be gone!  (I do have a lot of my pictures backed-up, but my boyfriend needs to save my newest pictures.)  Anyway, now I can delete this picture off my camera.. yay!  lol  Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're having a great week, snow or not!
