Courtney's Wedding

One of my colleagues in Hamilton recently married her sweetheart! I've been a tad busy of late, so was unable to get the card done beforehand, but I think I'm only a couple of weeks late, so that should do.  I chose a Magnolia image for the card, even though my husband says they're creepy and look like brother and sister!  Oh well - I like them.

Colette's Birthday

Well, another colleague at work's birthday. I have worked with Colette for a number of years and enjoy making cards for her.  This year I decided to just do an image I liked.  Usually I try and find one that has some relevance to the recipient, but in this case, other than the hair colour, there is no specific thing that screams Colette.  I might be in a slump -- time will tell.  Regardless, I'm happy with how this turned out!

Happy Birthday Rick

One of my friends and colleagues is an avid scuba diver -- plans his vacations around diving expeditions, the whole ball of wax.  I have always sent him diving-themed cards, and hoped I could find a scuba diver again this year --- not being able to, this came in pretty handy.  Mo Manning's boy in the pool with a mask on sort of reminds of me of Rick off-season!

Darcy's Birthday

One of the guys I work with loves spending time at his cottage with his wife and family...so I'm extrapolating that he likes things outdoorsy and rural - hence my selection of this image.  I haven't had a chance to use it yet, so this was a good opportunity.  It was much easier to colour than I originally thought. After I had glued everything on I realized it still needed a little something - like brads.  I wasn't about to punch through everything and leave ugly clips on the inside of the card, so I snipped off the clips and used glue dots for the top part of the brad.  Thank heavens that worked!  I was a bit worried it would be like those Thomas Kincade images which are really hard to colour!  All's well that ends well though.

Happy Birthday Gerry

Another gentleman at work who I quite like -- the image really has nothing to do with Gerry except in the broadest sense -- Gerry likes to keep fit, exercise and does lots of sports.  Usually I do a motorcycle card for him since he also motorcycles, but I was getting tired of doing those.  This little image is so darn cute I have been dying to use it, so Gerry gets it!

Thank You Jan

One of the committees I am on at work I actually enjoy - that is our Workplace Wellness committee which now encompasses the entire Ministry.  I consider it a perk and am happy to be able to participate.  One of our team members got a job in another Ministry so I volunteered to make her a card that each of us will sign at our next meeting and send it to her.  It is a very pretty image, so I'm sure she'll like it!

Thank You Vicki

I am extremely fortunate in the people I work with.  Vicki for instance  has been my back-up; and back-up to the 4 other AA's for the entire month of August.  For me she will have been my back-up for 5 weeks while I've been on vacation - this in addition to doing her own very busy job as well.  She is a saint!  So, I couldn't let her good deed go unrewarded.  Hence the card and a gift certificate to Tim Horton's.  Doesn't quite make up for her  efforts, but short of giving her a kidney, it will have to do!
