I gave this card to my division chief at work because he’s been in the job for little more than a year and has truly transformed the division. Have you ever met someone and sort of gotten to know him/her, and realized this his/her nature completely endears him/her to you? We “get” each other, it’s uncanny. [...]

A Bit on the Silly Side…
Oh I did have so much fun making this card for my work spouse!! For those more sensitive to off-color words, I blurred out one on this card (think another word for mule). The paper was given to me, and unfortunately I don’t know the manufacturer. The tag is Making Memories, the cardstock is Bazzill [...]

PG-13 if not R-rated Card for Tina
If you look closely, this belated birthday card for Tina has an “uh-oh” word on it, but I think it’s hilarious and might get a laugh out of her!! Inside it says “Better late than nasty, I always say!” I used papers from the Pet Stack and from Rusty Pickle, some Paper Studio flowers, some [...]

Happy Birthday ‘Billy’ Card
My good friend and mentor TinaH sent me some stamped Billy images, for which I will forever be grateful because he’s so stinkin’ cute, and I used him and some overalls and tools to make this card. Oh, and let’s not forget his toy train and tool chest, made shiny with Glossy Accents. The ‘carpet’ [...]
