Online Card Class: His and Hers Day 1

Another online card class!  Yippee! This one is about making cards to suit male and female recipients - it is so easy to make cards for girls and women - masculine cards are a bit harder to do.  One idea from Jennifer McGuire is to adapt one card sketch to different recipients.  Here's what I did.

 Whne I first stamped the white leaves on this card, they didn't stamp perfectly at all, and I was almost going to scrap it and start again - but I decided to continue and stamp the black over the top - and now I actually quite like the fact that it isn't stamped perfectly! 

Twins!

A lovely friend of mine gave birth to twins this week - a boy and a girl!! How fabulous is that!!  I saw this week's CASE Study card, and decided to use it as inspiration. 

I'll be submitting this card to CASE study - JJ Bolton,  and to Just Add Ink - Just add a fun background. 

Happy birthday, Auntie Nora!!

By Great-Auntie Nora is turning 90 this week!  Woo hoo!!  There is a party, but I'll be working, so I made a card to send to her instead. 

 I'll be submitting this card to CASual Fridays Birthday Bash, Addicted to CAS codeword Flower, Fusion hypothesis 4 (just the sketch today) and Keep it Simple, 3, 2, 1!!

Difficult card.

Hero Arts has a stamp set called "Remember" - it's the kind of stamp set you hope you never have to use, but you're glad you have it when you need it.  The sentiments in this set are perfect.

What do you say to someone who is going through the toughest battle they will ever face, but they know they are losing? Words are not enough, but something is better than nothing.
