Last week when I was on Facebook there was a story about a young boy in Arizona who was turning 13 on the 28th of this month.  He has some form of cancer and his wish was that he got a lot of cards for his birthday.  I checked out the post on their local news and got the address.  He said he like funny and animals.  This is what I  came up with.

 

Wedding Cards that I worked on yesterday...loved the outcome.

Between a Rock and a Card Space

 

My neighbor asked me to make her 10 "cheetah" themed birthday cards.  She's a teacher and their school mascot is the cheetah.  She wanted to have special cards to share with her fellow teachers.  This is the array that I came up with.  I'm pretty happy with all of them!

When I was gluing an embellishment on one of them I had put a rock on top so that it would stay.  When I went to pull the rock off it was completely glued to the embellishment.  Mark came in at the moment and he said, "I guess you're stuck between a rock and a card place".  (insert groan here)



Made this card for my great-nephew Ira's 7th birthday.  The sentiment inside is with help from my husband Mark,

 "Most happy I am not that I am missing your birthday young Padawan". 

 

I made my first sample board for a class that I'm going to be teaching in Mission Valley Oasis in the Fall.  Not sure of the date but was pretty excited to come up with these cards.  As soon as I know the date I'll let you all know.

Doggie Heaven

 

Today I found out that our dear friends dog Swanson had died.  He was a wonderful retired guide dog.  He demeanor reminded us so much of Musket.  I understand what they are going through.  You know that your beloved dog has gone over the rainbow bridge and he's no longer in pain but it still hurts.  This is the card I made for them.  I put a lot of my doggie love into this card.  



60th Anniversary

 

Next week my friend Fran and her husband are celebrating their 60th anniversary.  Since money is tight right now I made their gift and I just love how it turned out.  I also loved doing this.  I was with a wonderful friend the other day and she gave me some wonderful insight.  She said to make things with my heart.  I just started working on this and I was in the zone and very happy with how it turned out.
