Scraps Used!

Inspired by having a ton of scraps... and by my friend, Jaimie! (She could and should start her own blog!)

Two-for-One

The above photo is a card I made for my brother-in-law and his wife for their anniversary. I really like the Stampin' Up! set called "Fifth Avenue Floral" and used it here with some watercolor pencils to give it dimension.

The above card is a blank notecard I made. I have used my scalloped edge punch for a lot of cards and think it adds a nice touch.

Another One For My Man

Hubby's birthday fell on Father's Day... so he got the works when it came to cards on this day. This is the Father's Day card I made for him. Sorry... the color on this photo is not the best... the greens I used were more olive-colored and the darker color background on the text is more chocolate than appears here. Anyway... you get the idea: we are blessed to have him as a husband and father and we wished him Happy Father's day this way.

For My Man

He's a golfer... and I love him! Here is the card I made for him for his birthday. Simple and manly, I guess.

Sunday Sketch and Stamp - Challenge # 5

Hi! I am BRAND new to trying this... but thought I would give it a go!

I was directed over to Sunday Sketch and Stamp by my friend, Barb at Made For Keeps. They give you a sketch and you need to create a card using the sketch as your starting point.

Below shows the sketch and my creation! Be sure to let me know what you think!

This card will be for my friend, Sharon, on her birthday. (It is coming up! I don't think she checks out my blog, so the surprise will not be ruined... I hope!)

Simple Design

I have never been good at combining colors so I rely on my color wheel to help me out all of the time. I thought this turned out to be a calm combination of colors that did not turn out too bad for a sympathy card.

Have I Shared This One Yet? Ha ha!

Summer vacation arrived here a couple of weeks ago or so for my boys... they are keeping me very busy, to say the least... but I miss blogging. We will see if I get any computer time worked into my schedule to go along with card-making time.

Here is one in a group I made for my husband and his clients at work. He has shared that a couple of clients have appreciated the hand made cards... I just want to share that they are made with love and sympathy for those who receive them.
