January 2015

This is my final post of the day.  With this post, it makes six for the day. I wanted to get caught up with the cards that I made over the years and I know there's more that I didn't take pictures of but this feels like an accomplishment to get up-to-date.


These are all birthday cards with the exception of a wedding card.  January is a busy month for birthdays in my life, including my own.



This card what for M's dad.  I still struggle with masculine cards.

This one was for my Grandpa's 80th birthday.

This one was for Tanya Z's birthday.

This one was for my cousin Ryan's wedding.  Ryan, a girl, married her long-time boyfriend Paul in Mexico on January 29th.

Finally, this is M's birthday card.  Our birthdays are 16 days apart.

June 2014

For my sister's birthday, I made her a little card in the shape of a birthday present.

I made my nephew a baseball card, which included tickets to a Twins game.

One of my dearest friends, Sara got married last June.  I was out of her town for her wedding but I made her a card which was from all of us at work.

June 2011 Cards

The following cards were all made in June 2011 for multiple occasions.  

The first two are for Father's Day with the top one for my dad and the second one for M's dad.  

The birthday card was for my nephew, Keith.  I must have been rushed this day.  He's almost 12 now!

The final card is for Asher.  Asher is the son of our good friends, Chris and Tanya.  He was born June 8th and we delivered this card to them in the hospital.  This one took a while as I was still using my Cuttlebug to cut everything out. Asher will be four in June.

Happy Birthday Kristi

I went out to brunch today with my friend Kristi and a group of our friends for her birthday which was last week.  I had all week to make her a card but I was so busy that I ended up whipping this one up in about 5 minutes this morning.

Happy Birthday

I made up two birthday cards tonight.  One for a coworker and one that I'll be mailing to a good friend tomorrow.  For as little time as I spent on them, I like the way they both turned out.

Happy Birthday

My friend's birthday is next week and my aunt's birthday is Sunday so I made a card for each of them.  I do have to say that I was pressed for time on both of these but I thought I'd show them off here anyways.

My friend Jill loves coffee, especially Starbucks coffee so I decided to go with a coffee theme and I put a gift card for Starbucks into the card also.

My aunt Terri loves flowers and has a lovely garden of her own on their hobby farm so I took this gorgeous flower stamp and heat embossed it with gold.

Jamie's Birthday

For my sister's birthday, I made her two things.  One, her birthday card and two, a shadow box with butterflies in it.  I picked pink and black because those are the colors of my sister's room.  I embossed each butterfly and put a flat backed pearl on each one. I bent up the wings of the butterflies just enough where they don't hit the glass.  She loved it and she is going to hang it in her bathroom, which is off of her bedroom.  She has been looking for something to hang in her bathroom and she said this will be perfect.  While I didn't envision it in a bathroom when I made it, I think it will be perfect in there.
