I've been home from vacation about a week ~ getting caught up at work and home so this weekend had some time to be creative (and I needed it!!!). The first 2 cards are done using Card Patterns Sketch #74. Both use Graphic 45 paper. The first one (the golf one) is for a guy at work. I don't usually just use white cards with nothing behind them, but the dark greens were hard to figure out what I would do. This graphic 45 paper is pretty cool because it has different "guy" like scense on it ~ golf, pool, cars, tennis, etc!
I made the wine bottle card using Basic Grey paper and the shadow for the wine bottle and glass from the summer in paris cricut cart. A guy in my office is quite the wine enthusiast and I thought it would be fun to make a wine card. Hope the flowers aren't too feminine!! He does really enjoy the cards I make so I'm sure he won't mind.
I started my Texas scrapbooks (see below) and suddenly was inspired to make a birthday card for another man in my office who is from Texas ~ his birthday isn't till next March or April but for once I'm ahead of the game!!!
I also needed a bunch of thank you cards for work for a project that a group finished. I used 2 Sketches 4 you sketch from last week (but didn't post these cards) as a guide and used up many of my scraps. I actually made 17 of them and this is just an assortment of a few of them!
Last but not least, I started getting the Texas scrapbooks ready ~ For once in my life I'm pretty organized on this. I've got the pages sketched out on a piece of paper and knew I would need 2 scrapbooks for the trip (and I'm making 3 sets, one for me and one for each of my kids!). I had these tapestry albums in my stash (enough to do all 6 books!) so the first thing I worked on was the little window thing. Usually I wait till I'm all done but this time I decided to tackle it first thing! More to come on these books!
Thanks for looking and have a great week!
