Birthday Sketch

I had two birthday cards to make for co-workers and used this cute sketch from Simon Says...Use Heather's Sketch for both of them...

Of course I like to give them a bit of a personal touch, but the only thing I knew was that she like's purple!  Hope she likes this card.

Another Steampunk Birthday

 

My oldest son is a Steampunk kind of a guy...I hope he likes this birthday card as well as he liked the Steampunk Cat from last year!  He  also loves cats, but last summer we bought a solar powered owl to keep the pigeons off our deck, and when he saw it he said he just might need one for his garden...hopefully he'll remember.

November Thanks

This card is for the Infusion office I've been going to every day for the past 6 weeks for IV Antibiotics.  Everyone there has been so extremely nice and accomodating I wanted to make them a Thank You card...since my last day is next Tuesday, I called it 'november thanks' and geared it around the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday 318.

I was also inspired by the November Challenge at Graphic 45 Facebook Page to make a Thank You card using Graphic 45 product.  The theme of my card had me reaching for an older product called Botanicabella, and I also used some Graphic 45 themed Core'dinations product for the base.

Carte Postale Sympathy

 

This is a sympathy card for my sister-in-law from the Philippines who just lost her brother and a sister within a week of each other...she won't be back in the States until Thanksgiving.  Since she is so far away, I used the postal theme from this week's challenge at Papercraft Star #168 for inspiration.

Oh Drat!

I finally created a couple of cards this weekend after being out of commission with my fractured shoulder for a month and a half...and then I didn't post this one in time for Challenge 165 over at Papercraft Star.

Totally my own fault...they give you the inspiration photos WAY in advance...but I had this unmounted rubber stamp from about two years ago that I had won in a blog hop over at Michelle's Scrap which had never seen ink!  I've always been a little (more than a little) intimidated with coloring, but I thought I'd give this one a try for the challenge, then I didn't post it in time!  Oh drat!

Oh well, I made one other card also but was so pleased with it I thought I might save it for a submission so I didn't want to post it!  Sure felt good to get back in my craft room!

CAS Birthday Clown

I have a co-worker with a birthday coming up who let it slip that she was afraid of clowns right before Halloween last year...well, I had a clown costume I had made many years ago that was very similar to this little clown image with the big ruffled collar...so I couldn't resist using this image for her birthday card.  The background paper looks a little more yellow than orange, but it's just the photo...

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Birthday

Papercraft Star #158 has some great summertime inspiration:

I bought the watermelon DSP some time ago but never found a chance to use it...perfect for this fun challenge.
