Hello everybody! Sorry it's been a few days since my last post, but I have been busy with all kinds of holiday projects. Truthfully, this time of year, I will only post every few days. I have lots of holiday orders to fill and a big show coming up that I have to have lots of stock for! However, I know you come here for ideas and inspiration, so without further ado, here are a couple of things to view for some creative delight:
This is the birthday card I made for my dear friend, Emily. She is the friend that you can always count on for anything: to pick up your kids, dinner if you're sick or had a baby, the shoulder you can comfortably cry on, a counselor, a good advice giver, and the friend you can call at 7:00 a.m. I know you're jealous and wish you had a friend just like her! Actually, I hope you do... everybody needs an "EMILY."
The last couple of days, I have been creating Christmas cards. Here are TWO that I made that are instant faves! I love the bold pink and green color on this card. It's just a bunch of green paper strips to form a tree and a circle and star punch for ornaments. I think the rounded edges makes it interesting.
The Stocking Card! Ooo... love this. Lot's of pretty things to look at! The brown paper is for a "mantle" look. Mom suggested the chocolate ribbon and raspberry trim- they are beautiful together! Thanks, mom!

Thanks, mom!Both of the cards above will be for sale at the Temptations Holiday Boutique coming up on November 17-18-19 in Louisville, KY. Hope to see some of you locals there!
And, last, but not least, my little chickens on Halloween:

So sorry that your little guy had a spill on Halloween! Liam has an oversized UofL jersey just like that - wish I had known, I could have lent it to you. I meant to tell you how fabulous your entry way is - I could so use your creative eye! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteEmily is lucky to have you for a friend, too. Loved ALL of the cards, but especially loved the picture of my little goblins. What a great picture in front of your vintage pumpkin collection!
ReplyDeleteok, i'm pretty sure the friendship thing goes BOTH ways and that you are equally attentive to emily... & certainly the evidence of the amazingly lovely birthday card would indicate that i am right! :)
