Happy Birthday to Sonny!

The organist that I work with at my church has a birthday tomorrow, and I wanted to make her a special card. I made a Z-fold card and used a sketch from "My Time made Easy" to get me started. Since we are musicians, I wanted to put some music on there, so I embossed the white squares with my music cuttlebug folder. I cut the bird from Gypsy Font cart at 2 inches. I used some ribbon and a new Fiskers stamp I had. I embellished the stamp with pearls, since pearls and turquoise are her birthstones.

Father's Day card 2


This is a card I made for my father=-in-law for Father's day. I used the T-shirt and tie on the Simply Charmed cart. I used foam to give the tie and shirt more dimension. It is simple, but I love how it came out!

Father's Day card 1

I found this free digi at Dustin Pike's website, and immediately thought of my Dad. We had a dragon named Dudley that was a favorite of my family's and I thought this would be perfect for Father's day! Inside I wrote "You are my knight in shining armor".
I started with the sketch from Inspirational card sketches. I used my cuttlebug to add the embossing to the cream paper and some foam squares to pop it up. I think my dad will love it!
