Pug cards: To all the Champions!

 

In this performance based world we live in, the road to becoming a Champion is not an easy one. These pugs resemble many I have seen waiting to enter the show ring or leaving the show ring. It is a rarefied atmosphere I cannot compare to anything else I have encountered before. Each dog has his own personality and is influenced by the pace (and yes! even mood) of his/her handler. In my opinion, they are winners just by being there... but that is just that, my opinion..... Congratulations to all the Champions!

Handmade card: Congrats Circus

This is more of a vintage Congratulations card. I saw the paper with the ferris wheel and circus... and thought vintage! It would be perfect for someone who has overcome some serious obstacles and come out the other side.

Tim Holtz' lost and found paper was perfect for the old fashioned photo booth picture-look. I love playing with inks and this card was no exception. My style can  wind its way into vintage looks in no time.

Handmade card: Congrats from Le Cordon Bleu

     Today is a very important day in our family. My baby brother graduates from Le Cordon Bleu as a Chef. For as long as I can remember he has been passionate about cooking and now he has made that dream into reality. It has not been a smooth road but he is seeing all his hard work paying off now. I wish I could be there to celebrate this special day with him, but I will be there in spirit. He understands times are tough (financially) so we, as a family, are planning a family trip soon.

I created a small place setting complete with plate and silverware I found in the doll house making section of the crafts store. My many resources are endless when it comes to how I re-purpose the few supplies I have in my stash.

Handmade card & envelope: Proud congrats

 My mission in creating cards is conceptualizing unique concepts for special events. Many things run through my head when someone asks me for a congratulations card. As someone who has been blessed to get a university degree, I know what goes into making it to graduation.

It is a right of passage to achieve a higher education. That is not to say this card would not be just as appropriate for someone who gets selected for their dream job.
