For You: Waterfront

I had the privilege to go to a card club with a friend of mine.  This was their last meeting with Chick because Chick is retiring!  We made a scene with the Waterfront stamp set; everyone had a slightly different scene using the same stamps.  What a fun stamp set.

Gift Card: Prettied Up with Wetlands

A prettied up gift card holder on the inside of the card.  The front is watercolored to create a scene.  The sentiment was stamped on the first attempt (haha) and put up on dimensionals.  The MEA-MFT card is not a gift card; it is my union card.  Wear it proud!

Money Holder with Wreath

Very quick and easy.  You will get two holders from one sheet of paper.  The paper is 7.25" x 5.5", scored at 2.25".   The circle punch is 1.5"

The stamps are from Nellie the Nest Lady (a very old set from SU) and Thoughtful Branches. 

Thank You: Celebrate Today

Patrick's sixth grade teacher, Mr. Slavish, was the most inspirational teacher ever.  He motivated Patrick and allowed him to love school and learning again.  His previous teacher had taken that away from Patrick.  Patrick made this card (with a bit of guidance from me) by himself.

Money Holder with a Belly Band

I needed another money holder.  The directions and template can be found here.
Since this holder did not go into a card, I used the ribbon as a belly band.

Sympathy: Thinking of You with Thoughtful Branches

I have been playing with the new set Thoughtful Branches; it is a nice, versatile set.  I used a glimmery brown paper for the tree and matting layer.  You can't tell by the picture, but it really makes the tree pop!
