Happy Wedding Day!

My niece is getting married today and I’m sad I can’t be there.  I’ve had several nieces and nephews get married since we moved to Virginia and I couldn’t attend.  Not being at the wedding makes it hard not only because you can’t celebrate with them and see extended family and friends, but it also makes it hard to think of them as married and starting their own family.  (*sigh*)  :(

But I’m here to share the card with you that I made for her.  I do hope she has a very perfect day!

Merry Monday #62

I know you’re all going to be shocked and amazed that I am actually using a sketch challenge after about 9 months of MIA!  However, the challenge is for a Christmas Card and I didn’t feel like doing a Christmas card so I didn’t enter the challenge.  But I did use the sketch!  You can find it here.

Simply Sketched Calypso-Cantaloupe

I’m sharing a card with you that I made in a very short amount of time today.  I think the whole thing from first thought that I needed a thank-you card to then picking colors and stamp and then finishing took no more than an hour.  And I had to open the supplies as they were just delivered!  I’m pleased with the way it turned out for not much thought!  Hope it inspires you!

Language of Friendship

I needed several thank-you cards recently for some friends who have helped me out.  Some were men and some women so I didn’t want to use flowers.  I decided a bird could go either way!  lol
