Singing Tilda

My friend Susan's Mom's birthday is this Friday and Susan asked for a pretty card to dazzle her Mom with.  This singing Tilda stamp is new and I was anxious to use her because I knew she'd glitz-up well.  And it did.  I was going to print "happy birthday to you" near the musical notes but was worried about messing it up, so didn't!  Perhaps Susan will sing when she gives it to her?

Grandma's

One of my colleagues in the Sault just had her second grandchild - actually it was a couple of weeks ago, but I've slipped a little!  Regardless, this was my first opportunity to use this stamp I bought at Scrapping Great Deals last fall!  It also gave me the opportunity to do a card of a different shape - instead of the standard square or rectangle!

Spinster

This lovely Kraftin Kimmie image I bought with 2 people in mind - both of whom spin and weave or did at one point in time.  I am happy to be able to use this one to thanks to Chantal's (my card making friend) mom who made our group all lovely hand-made towel/pot holder combo's to hang on the oven handle and hand-woven dish cloths.  It was a lovely surprise, and I wanted to make sure I thanked her mom appropriately! Sketch is #141 from Friday Sketches

Sad Goodbye

One of the managers who works with us is leaving to go to another job, and while we're happy(ish) for him, we are very sorry to see him go, because he was a great manager and a really nice guy....oh well, things have to change I guess.  I used the template from Friday Sketchers and modified it slightly. I do find it much easier to do a card using somebody else's layout!

House Mouse Shower

These little House Mouse images are among my favourites, which is why I used them in making my sister Debby's birthday card.  Debby is a wonderful woman and should be celebrated every day, but on her birthday especially.  I tried to make this one extra special, hence the bling, ribbons, flowers and glitter!

ARRRR Matey

One of my former boss's birthday is in a week or so.  He's an avid boater so I always think of a nautical theme when I think of him -- but I was tired of doing boats and thought this cute little pirate deserved a showcasing.  Rob is likely going to wonder why in the world a pirate, but my only excuse is that I like it!

Bossy Miss

This card is for a friend and colleague whose birthday is also March 9.  She is a boss, but she's not all the bossy but I do like the image!
