Simple, Simple Cards for 2 Sketches 4 You (Kazan Sketch 19, week of 2 Feb 2009)

I needed 4 thank you cards -- quickly -- for the nice ladies that took me for my Farewell lunch last Friday. I just have so much other stuff going on that FAST was my only option. Normally, I have a supply of thank you cards at the ready, but not this time!

So, using Kazan's great sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You, I managed to whip out these cards in about one hour. Simple & easy! The sketch was very adaptable for easy & quick!

Here's the sketch.

The purple card uses Heidi Swapp ghost flower that I spritzed with Glimmer mist. Everything else, I pulled from my stash. The red paper is from a Disney pack that I got at Disney World last fall, "Thank You" is a Sizzlit.

The orange card used Scenic Route paper and everything else from my stash. The label was cut using Spellbinders labels nestabilities.

The pink card used an Embosslit for the hibiscus (Sizzix) using Core'dinations paper -- isn't it cool once it was sanded? And the red & blue card is totally from my stash with the same label nestabilities die cut.

Thanks for looking at my cards. Anyone who wants to check out my progress for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer can look at my web site at http://avonwalk.org/goto/teresa! Just 2 months to go!

A Tag Book (Part 1)

I got this cool Basic Grey Luggage Tag book as a gift from my sister. I wanted to do a quick little project with it and as I was looking through some photos, I found a dozen from when I had last got my hair cut for Locks of Love in 2005. My husband thinks this is a totally goofy idea for a mini-album, but that's okay because the folks at Simple Scrapbooks are always telling us not to forget ourselves when scrapping! Plus, it was a lot scarier to get all that hair cut off the first time -- it was lots easier the second time!

Most of the papers are Club Scrap -- such lovely colors & textures -- I just love their paper! Ribbon is from my stash and the die cuts are a combo of Sizzix & Quickutz.

Because there's something like 10 pages, I'll just post a few images at a time. Gee, that will keep everyone in suspense, huh? LOL!!

Tag Book Cover

I used the Wordle.net site to make the cover, thanks to Capadia Designs blog tip. This is a really cool web site for printing words. I printed the words on a regular sheet of paper (because I couldn't figure out how to shrink the image, duh) and then copied it onto photo paper. Cool!

Can't wait until I get a digital camera! The background paper is almost navy and the swirly-things are peach! Oh, well.
