happy (god)mother's day
/
I love the way this card came out. It reminds me of Laurie and the quilts she used to make. I didn't appreciate them until a few years ago. The template is by Scrappin with Liz. The papers are from Sir Scrapalot.
happy mother's day
/
I rarely get Mother's Day cards. I don't put any importance on the day. My kids don't understand it and that is fine with me. And I may have imagined bad memories of having to honor my mother every May. Anyway, I tend to forget to may and/or send Mother's Day cards to the boys' godmothers. I just remembered yesterday and quickly added it to my to do list. The card sketch is from Valerie Salmon. The papers are from Katie Pertiet.
with sympathy
/
I had to make a couple of sympathy cards. I hate making these kinds of cards. Not only does is suck to have the occasion to send the card, but it is so hard to find the words. Lack of appropriate words is what convinced me that personal cards are the way for me. I hope that people see that the thought that went into the card, is more than any words I could come up with to wish them the best. Sympathy cards are different. It is not necessary to find the best embellishments or patterned paper. It is the words that help. First I did a quick google search and found this site. Then I searched some of my favorite digi sites and found Remembrance WordArt by Anna Aspnes. The papers are Everafter.

This template makes use of white space. Perfect for using with your favorite pattern papers. I used Echo Park's Little Girl.
live and learn
/
I played around with shape layers to make this card. I had a little trouble making the text path because the layers were not exactly shapes. Still a lot to learn in photoshop. The papers are from Echo Park Playground. The quote is from Douglas Adams.

Another kit I got with Sir Scrapalot's Going Out of Business Sale is Cutie Pie. Hello Sweetness brush by Cathy Zielske. Flower brush by KI Memories.
bring on the jelly beans!
/
Actually, it's time to let the jelly beans go. I love Starburst Jelly Beans and they are only available at Easter. Silly me thought I could do with only 2 bags for the seasons. Make that 2 bags a week. But I am ready to say good-bye to them for another year. I am sad that this one of the last kits from Sir Scrapalot. He is retiring from design. You can pick up Little Bunny Foo Foo at 60% off through the end of April.

Today is my oldest's birthday. Fourteen and close to six feet tall. He is such a sweetheart. I used a collaboration from Sweet Shoppe Design called Once Upon a Boy. Stamps are from Katie Pertiet (birthday block & collegiate number) and Hero Arts (April).

colors of spring

I guess I should have alternated the colors of the grid. I used the new kit by Sara Schmutz, Strawberry Patch.
spring is here
/
I got a free template from Scrapping with Liz. After I did a couple of layouts with it, I decided to use it for a card. I love the simplicity and versatility of it. I used a new kit by Sara Schmutz, Strawberry Patch. The flower brush is from KI Memories.
welcome spring
/
I used Got Your Numbers Scallops by Cindy Schnieder. And I got Happy Spring by Creativity by Crystal at Jessica Sprague.

Rarely have I created something just for the sake of creating. OK, something besides photography. When I have made a layout, or a card, I had to have a reason to do it. Usually, I made it to hold a memory or a card to give away. Occasionally I would make a layout or card as a response to a challenge. Today, I just started making this card. I started with the sketch. Then I found some papers I thought would look good; Sassy Designs Stockbridge. Finally I went to look for some word art to fill in the bigger spots. Anna Aspnes's BBQ WordArt No. 01 fit in well with the masculine theme of this card.
