Jim's Birthday Card



Here is a card I made tonight for Jim's birthday. He is turning 65 next Sunday. He is my teacher and mentor at Bear Creek Feline Center where I get the absolute pleasure of working with exotic and endangered felines that are unable to live in the wild. But anyway I made the card for all of the interns and volunteers to signed and I'm pretty pleased with it. I tried to make the silhouette of a panther because his "baby" is a panther named Dani. She loves Jim to death. It is really neat to watch them hug and snuggle and interact. (See below for one of my favorite pics of them!) And I'm so glad I've gotten the rare opportunity to be inside the enclosure with them and experience Dani up close. It's amazing! Anyway, I used only whisper white and basic black to create the card and the Happy Birthday is from Voila! set. I also used the ticket corner punch. That has to be my favorite punch right now. I love to layer colors and get that effect that the cute little corner gives! I think it's elegant!

Halloween Cards!

Well I've been a busy little beaver tonight and made several Halloween cards. I found these cute little stickers on sale at Michael's quite awhile back and finally sat down and created! I had a blast. I want to go back and get more. But they'd probably be gone. But I guess now it's time to post, make sure I have clothes for church tomorrow and then hit the hay! Hope you like them!

Thinking of You Photo Brag Book

Image
Well last night I had some creative fun with two sweet ladies, my friend Kim, and her good friend Theresa. They came over for my pretty informal open house since everyone else bailed on me! :oP But I'm glad these ladies showed and we still had a good time I think and they aided in getting me out of pending! YAY! Anyway, we came up with our designs each for a photo brag book (using cellophane bags for holding the pics). I got this idea from Aunt Cindy after she showed me her cute one she did for Jennifer for Mother's Day. I didn't think to take pictures of all of ours together and I wish I had. I liked their books too! Kim did one for her son Jacob in her favorite bright primary colors and shapes, and Theresa did one for her grandson Dakota in baby blue and burgundy with turtles. But here are pics of mine! Thanks again Aunt Cindy! *HUGS*

Anniversary Card

Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. I've been extremely busy lately. Here is a card I did tonight for an anniversary. I won't say who because I don't want them knowing it's for them until they see it in person. I'm pretty proud of it. I've had the idea in mind for awhile and finally got it down on paper. It was fun to make. Today, or I should say yesterday since it is after midnight, was my grandfather's 93rd birthday. I made him a cute card too but I finished it within minutes of having to leave for his birthday dinner so I didn't have time to scan it. Until next time!
