A+ Teacher

It is that time of the year to Thank the teachers who have touched children's lives.  I made a couple of cards which I will be featuring for a co-worker to give to her children's teachers.  This card mimics a chalkboard.  I made sure the chalkboard was dusty and added a bit of faux stitching to make it pop!  Thanks for stopping by!

Removable Bookmark

I made this card with a removable bookmark.  The bookmark is the embellishment on the card.  I thought a removable bookmark paired well with the image!  The image is from The East Wing etsy store.  She is marvelous, and I cannot imagine having all of that hair!  However, I love it!  This will be a great card to send to a friend who loves to read!  Not only do they receive a card, but a bookmark too!

I am dedicating this card to Linda Palmer, my blog friend, who has suddenly passed away!  She always left me such encouraging comments about my cards, and I loved looking at her blog every week.  She could color marvelously!   I am going to miss her because she always provided inspiration for me!  It is a great reminder to not take life for granted.  Cherish everyone around you!

Administrative Day!

This card was created for the Administrative Assistant in our office.  She does a lot of work to keep the office moving smoothly.  I love the Retro feel to this card!  It takes me back to typing class.  One thing which I do not miss is having to type perfectly with those carbon papers.  It is great to have computers now!  However, I still love the look of a typewriter.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches!  It was the perfect sketch to showcase this theme! The designer paper is from Echo Park For the Record!

Easter Celebration

I must apologize for the picture quality since I was using a different camera.  However, I had a great time making these cards.  I thought a cross popping up in this a2 card was perfect!  He is Risen, and this is why we celebrate Easter!  Thanks for stopping by!
