Hi!

This card was made kind of on demand. A friend called to ask me if I would send a card to her daughter's class... and to do it in time to be there for their celebration of the 100th day of school. She said that I did not have to make it or be fancy... that they were mainly interested in getting cards from different places so that they could locate them on a map (kindergarten style). "Of course," she added, "I bet you will make a nice card anyway and she would love that!"

So here is what I came up with... I tried to keep it bright and cheery and this was the first time using this stamp set that I purchased on a used stamp sale.

I don't feel comfortable using such bright colors and if I were to make the card again I might color the smaller images differently... but I think this was alright.

Coming soon... using up that scrap bin!!! Taking my odds and ends bits of paper and putting them to work!

Don't Look, Bro!

Well... I suppose if you are reading this, my dear brother, then you have seen the above card. Hopefully, you have received it already in the mail for your birthday. I love ya!

Fun with punches! And with my trusty stamp positioner... I don't leave home without it!

For A Friend!

This card is getting put into the mail tomorrow... so it will be late (my friend's birthday was yesterday). Oh well... Hope she had a happy birthday!

Simple Love

This one was fun... I usually don't do such frilly colors on a card, but I liked the effect of the chalks.

More Love...

... for Valentine's Day!!! (Sorry... photo not in focus.)

I *heart* Valentine's Day!

I just wish that people would send more snail mail... I love the romance in that hand delivered item with a personalized note inside. I admit that I have gotten worse with sending a handwritten letter since I discovered the ease of e-mail (and realizing how much time it takes nowadays to have a family to manage). So, here is a heart going out to you for Valentine's day... on the ol' blog (*sigh* not in your mailbox)... but this one will go to someone this year.

Just Sent it Today!

Here is the anniversary card that I made for my in-laws. I guess they had just horrible luck with the weather when they got married. (I forget the specifics... I will have to ask for that story again sometime.) Anyway... I enjoyed making a card of larger proportions. I will have to do that more often!

Update: No, I did not just send it today... Martin Luther King Day... I will gladly send it tomorrow! Happy MLK Day!
