Card Patterns #88 - Thank You

The people who work for me gave me an awesome gift card to Craft Warehouse for Bosses Day! I made a couple different thank you's for them! Thanks for looking!

WELCOME - 2 Sketches 4 You

I used this week's sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You (rotated) to make a little Welcome door hanger. I had quite some fun last weekend making some "designer" owls with my sizzix (they are on chipboard) and so they came in handy to make this! All the paper is Basic Grey! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Baby Card using card patterns #81

I was asked to make a card for a guy at the office who is having a baby girl. The colors of the baby's room are pink and yellow so I tried to coordinate the card with the room! I had all this great baby paper that I had gotten in DCWV paper stacks so it was fun to finally use it!

Card Patterns Sketch #80

My neighbor across the street, Allie, is going to be going to Oregon State University later this month! She watered my plants when we went on vacation to Texas so when I paid her and gave her a handmade card to thank her she loved it. I told her if she told me all the names of her roomates in her dorm I would make her a door hanger! She brought me over the list just as I was looking at card patterns #80 so here it is!!! I got this bohemian paper at Michaels and then embellished with what I had! I haven't given it to her yet so don't know what she will think!

Thanks for Looking!

2S4Y - Laura's Sketch week of 8/23/10

I made 2 items with Laura's sketch - both "decor" sort of things, not cards. The first is a door hanger that I will put on my office door and the other a 12 X 12 canvas that I have in my entry way to my house. I've had the blank canvas sitting there for months just waiting for inspiration and here it was with Laura's sketch. Thanks Laura!

Guy Cards, Thank You's, and starting Texas Scrapbooks!!!

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!

Class Door Hanger - Card Patterns #73

A gal in my office has a daughter who is a 5th grade teacher. She loves all my little door hangers I hang on my office door, so she asked me to make one for her daughter's class. I saw the sketch for card patterns #73 and thought it would work great! All the school die cuts are quickutz and the "Mrs. Elliot's Class" is cricut don juan! Thanks for looking!
