Christmas Shopping at Work today!!

I guess Christmas Shopping at Work today on our lunch hour really drove home how fast Christmas is approaching.  This is one of the Christmas cards I designed.  I decided this Christmas to use all of those old papers I purchased "aons" ago and that have been sitting waiting to be used.  It wasn't easy to use them as I thought it would be!  Also a girlfriend of mine, let me use her Martha Stewart Snowflake edger - I love it! So I also used her Martha Stewart snowflake punch as well as some pewter snowflake brads that have been lying around.  I used a sticker for the sentiment as snowflakes remind me of peace, love and joy!

Happy Birthday Honey!

My husband celebrates his birthday on the same day as his eldest daughter, Danielle.  I used olive green cardstock which is my husband's favourite colour. I coloured the image of a suave debonair man with my Prisma pencils and gamsol.  As you can see I coloured the suit jacket in green as well. I used some rub ons to convey personal messages to my loving husband. The kids took great pleasure in reminding my husband that he only has a couple of years to the big "50".  Happy Birthday Honey!

Happy Birthday to the Other Twin - November 4th

My step-daughter, Danielle, is a day younger than my daughter. So we affectionately call our girls- "The twins". Well Danielle is a huge Batman fan. She can usually be found wearing jeans with her belt with the "Batman Buckle". When she came down this past weekend, she has a new addition to her wardrobe -  a ball cap with a pewter "Batman" bat on it.

So this past spring while we were in Florida, I happened to find Batman paper and stickers and the idea for this card was born. Needless to say, Danielle thought this card was a hit.

Happy Birthday My Girl!

There are two days in November that are very special to our family. My "baby" girl turned 20 on the 3rd.  It's hard to believe how fast the time has flown.  Lauren would love to have a kitty but since she is in university, I have encouraged her to wait until she can afford to properly take care of a pet.  So she got Fluffles the kitty instead on her card.  Fluffles is one of my favourite characters especially since I love kittens and cats.
