Line It Up!

Our friend Al's birthday is May 9, and I am up to May events in my card production - thankfully!  I sometimes think I'm making way too many cards as I do 5 or 6 a week - but at least I'm using my stuff!  Anyway, back to Al -- he's an avid golfer so I thought he'd appreciate this one ... although I can't say I've ever seen him get quite that low to line up his putt!

Welcome Little One

My friend Susan is my most frequent shopper which is great because I get to use stamps I sometimes have trouble figuring out where to use!  This particular one I just love, the image is so beautiful and ridiculously easy to colour.  This is for a friend of Susan's who is having a boy, hence the use of the blue!

Goodbye and Thanks

What can I say about WhipperSnapper stamps?  The images are always so much fun to look at and colour.  I'm thinking this card should go to our committee member who has secured a job in another ministry (government not church).  Val is quite fun and I think she's like this one -- and while she is blonde, looks not remotely like the driver in the picture!

Morning Miss

Another of Kraftin' Kimmie's new stamps - this one's Angie - and I've made her for my youngest daughter Megan.  Meg works long and hard during the day, and has her 6 and 2.5 year old boys most days of the week and every second weekend.  Needless to say, she's often somewhat pooped!  So, I've made this for her with a "Spoil Yourself" message inside and included a little something so she can go pamper herself with a pedicure or something.  I hope she doesn't use it for anything practical!!

LOTV - Goodbye

2nd in the series of goodbye/thank you cards for departing members of our Wellness committee I thought this little image was so cute, and while not super huge, could be made to look bigger.  I think the whole card is quite pretty and delicate so I hope they decide to give it to the tiny little member that's leaving!

Tilda's Thank You

I think I may have to break down and buy this stamp, because this is twice now I've had to borrow it from Maria - so I obviously like it!  I am on a committee at work that looks at Wellness for the Division.  Three of our members are leaving as they've been transferred to other jobs, so I volunteered to make the cards.  Because the remainder of the large committee has to sign and say their farewells, I make an 8.5 x 5.5 card so there'd be room for everyone.  Consequently, I've had to use some pretty large images so they aren't dwarfed.  This is the first in a series of 3.

Life is How you Bake It!

I just love these new Kraftin' Kimmie images!  So, when one of my out-of-town colleagues recently mentioned his wife's birthday was coming up and he was getting her a new kitchen for her day, I thought this stamp would be perfect to make a card with.  I shamelessly begged him to allow me to make her card.  He hasn't seen it yet as I'll give it to him when we meet next week, but I'm sure he'll like it!
