This one was a belated birthday card but it is also very appropriate for today:
The picture was taken from a calendar which has a different picture and thought for each day of the year - they are all far too cute to throw away so I recycle them when I can.
Here are a few more of them:
I find these cards much easier to design - not just because there is little or no stamping, but more because when I am using a stamp set, I have usually seen many cards made with the stamp and in an effort not to copy/case them, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get something original.
Here are some of the stamped cards I have sent out in recent months:
This one uses "Jolene" by My Favorite Things. Is it just me or does she look sad ?
The ice cream cone worked well for twins:
Tilda for a little girl:
and one for the guys - a quick one using Birthday Bash Sentiments from Papertrey!!
and I nearly forgot to add my Christmas card for 2011 - the Ornament was originally to have been very much a 3D item but time beat me and I had to settle for this version.
these were two of the cards I had originally intended to make for Christmas - not sure why I changed my mind as these seem much brighter than the one above. Oh well ......
and a shoe or two (or three):
Funny, how they are all red - having a love affair with everything red at present. They actually look great as I covered the red with glass finish and they look so shiny.
And last in this marathon is a teapot ( Papertrey - Tea for Two) in slightly unusual colours.
Well that's it from me. Maybe 2012 will see me better organised with posting - that's not a resolution, just a vague hope.
Hope you have a very happy New Year and that 2012 is filled with good health and much happiness.
Mary
