I just love Fridays! Hurray for all the inspiration I find on Unity's Friends with Flair! I so enjoy visiting all the blogs of the link-up party to see the fantastic creations for the week. Love IT!
I've got two very different creations to share with you this week. This first one, I made a few weeks ago, but haven't posted yet. I have only one sibling. My brother is 2 1/2 years older than me, so I can tease him about his age. I blatantly cased this card from a FWF regular, Cynthia. Here's my version of it:
My brother found it humorous, so I'm glad of that! It's tough to make male birthday cards, so I'm going to remember this for the future! This is the Unity "Ah Crap" Stamp set. DP is October Afternoon.
And, I needed to make a sympathy card this week. The owner of the company my husband works for lost his father (the founder of the company). He died at 98, so he lived a great life, but it's still a loss to the family at any age. The man who died loved old cars, old planes, old trains -- things like that. Here's what I created:
I thought these designer papers by Carta Bella would be great for this particular family. This uses the Unity Everything Wonderful stamp set.
really cute cards. hugs

ReplyDeleteGreat cards sorry for the loss
ReplyDeleteI was going to do a joke about you playing in the toilet again, but then I saw you also did a sympathy card. That was very thoughtful of you to incorporate the mans hobby into the card design.
