Thanks a latte

Another card I made this past weekend, you can never have too many thank you cards on hand for the holidays.  I used Repeat Impressions Thanks a latte set and patterned paper that has been in my stash forever to paper piece this.   This was a fun sketch.

Cheery birthday

 

Only needed one birthday card for work for December so got that made this weekend along with the bosses Christmas cards and several other cards and  a  Christmas project. For the birthday card I did a simple watercolor with marker and used a patterned paper for impact.  It was great to have a long weekend!  I will be posting some of the other projects soon.

Birthday Greetings

I needed a couple special birthday cards and wanted to go with a nautical theme so I went to Sketch Saturday for inspiration.  I used a Lighthouse by Our Daily Bread  and double sided papers on, Graphic 45  the top one and former Angel Company papers on the second one.  One mailed on the weekend and one to be mailed today.

Naughty Puppy

 

This Naughty Little Puppy is the image for Gerda Steiner Designs Monthly Challenge.   Each month that you play along you get the next month's image for free.  I thought he would be fun for a shaker card.   I used a method I saw on Jennifer McGuire's blog, which I can't locate to link but basically she circle is die cut about 6 times out of cardstock and glued together, a layer of acetate is added and one more layer of cardstock on the top, no double sided foam, so easy!
