Summer Birthday smooches

August birthdays by the handful are belated this year, only because I didn't move them into the calendar ... somehow after my Grams (August 3), it just didnt happen....until I was like "WAIT! ITS THE 28th of AUGUST" (yes, I know today is the 29 August).

 

So I quickly had to come up with a few quick birthday cards.

 

 

 

I used the Summer Smooches because its colorful and loud. It screams "SUMMER" and "BIRTHDAY".. Go ahead take a piece out and listen to it... mine does!

 

 

 

I have a few Thermal cups that have been begging to be decorated as well, so this is a cute set for a friend. I used all sorts of punches/dies for the front. From the Big Shot - Daisy2 die, Framelit die, the fancy flower punch, the modern label punch and of course the itty bitty flower punch -- add some dimensionals and WAA LA.. complete!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hug the ones you love!

Have a great day!

 

Sweet little Baby Boy...

So I am putting a close on some of the baby stuff for a while... well maybe..

 

 

 

 

Just needed something FUN... and not so BABY like for their card.  This just has a tad of BABY in it, and some cool tye dye looking technique, with big loud buttons!

 

 

Goes perfect with their non-tradtional gift. Here is part of it that I have RUNDbaby to thank- Melissa- you are the best!

 

 

This is a Diaper Clutch, which not only provides you with the cloth to lay a baby on to change, but a pocket for a few diapers, wipes and lotion. It folds up so nice and tight, PLUS its washable!!!!  Next is a Bandana Bib... ties around the babyneck like a bandana... very cool and I really hope they like it.  I put these two gifts in with a Thermal Tote that is Black Polka Dot  (thirtyone bag). So the bottles can go in there with water for mom, dad, or whatever else for the family! Plus, Dad won't be embarrassed to tote it around since its not all baby themed!  

  Somethinsg alittle unique!

 

Have a great day! Hug the ones you love! Thanks for stopping by!

 

Another quick and simple birthday!

When my DSP scraps get outta control {can you imagine that?? lol}, I am loving this sort of card to use it up. Its a great look..and soo simple!

 

By changing out the DSp and the sentiment, you can make alot of cards for your stash!

I say that is WONDERFUL!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Hug the ones you love!

Thanks to a great mentor...

Friday May 11, I had to bid farewell to a close co-worker who wasn't only the most respected female executive but also my boss of 6 years. I can say (and I am sure she wouldn't disagree) that in those 6 years we became good friends and learned a lot from one another. 

 

I learned to deal with Alpha females, and she learned a little more technology than she probably wanted to!

She has helped me grow as a person and learn the global corporate world.

 

 She will a huge asset to the next venture she is in, and no matter what I can say, she was the best mentor I have had in my working career.

 

When I knew that her last day was looming, I hesitated on a card, what would it say- "CONGRATS", "GOOD LUCK", and then decided on "THANKS". 

We shedded some tears as she left the office.  I made a few promises that I will hold on to... but in the mean time -

Best of Luck Miss Susan, may your next office have a microwave with a popcorn button on it!!! LOL!!!

Now I have to work on can can girls!...
