Handmade card: Urban traveler's birthday

Friday I found out I had just a few days to create a super special card for a friend. She loves to travel to exciting destinations and vivid colors. She has an incredible sense of style and I wanted to ensure that came across in her birthday card. Since her birthday was yesterday, she took the day off so she could enjoy her day (away from the craziness that is our job). 

First thing this morning I answered my phone at work to hear my friend excitedly thanking me for her card. She explained it captured her spirit to a "T" and she would be encasing it in a frame so she can enjoy it every day. Ms Winn totally made an otherwise dull Tuesday, terrific!

Handmade card: Stand up and Dance

One of my favorite things is when someone gives me total creative freedom. In this card I was told "she likes PURPLE". Thank you Ms Jackson for giving me the freedom to create a beautiful birthday card for a beautiful lady.

Baby album: Precious jewel

A precious jewel has been added to our family, my niece Zoe. This is the cover of her baby album complete with pearls, crystals and gems. Welcome to the world baby girl!

Canine card: Bedrock watch out!

This adorable pug featured above is named "Barney Rubble". He is our friend Betty's grand champion pug. It was one of my first cards created on the go. Even though it was a scary challenge, it was one I enjoyed. Betty was in love with the card. She even mentioned placing it in a prominent spot in her home where she could admire it at any time.

Thank you Betty for everything! Your friendship is an incredible gift!
