Many Thanks Allen!

Hello!

Today's share is another Thank you card for another co-worker who is going on a new adventure.  I'm really going to miss Allen, but I wish him the best.  He worked in our Information Systems department and we talked almost everyday, whether via phone, in person or email.  He was always helpful and always happy.  Here's the card I made...

The computer components are from Mama Elephant   Love how an altered (panda) Bobo is peeking over.  The dp is from an old DCWV stack. It was perfect for my card!  Turned this into an easel calendar card too...

Kept the inside super simple, using an extra thanks and handwriting many...

We celebrated at a Taiwanese restaurant with the whole IS department.  It was a lot of fun.. I wish him well at his new job and best wishes for the new adventure he is going on.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a great day!  I'll be MIA for a few days so will stop by when I can.  Take care!!

Many Thanks Gary!!

Hello!  

Hope you all had a nice and safe Halloween.  In my area we had no trick-or-treaters, so now we have tons of candy.  Luckily we got the good kind, bad thing is now we have to eat it.  Well if anything I can make more treat bags and use up that candy.  hahaha!  Welcome to November!!  It's officially Christmas season!!  Well at least that's what one of those funny pictures on IG stated.  Um, no we still have one more special holiday to celebrate before we should think about Christmas and that's Thanksgiving.  So glad I'm sharing this card today. 

Let's get to it.  I made this Thank you card for one of my co-worker's who left the company for a new adventure.  Here's the front the of card featuring a slightly altered Bobo bear from Sister Stamps.

I wanted to use this image but needed it to be a panda.  I used some black ink to color the eyes, ears and body to create the panda.  Then using a white gel pen added some highlights.  Love how it turned out.  The background paper is from a really old DCWV paper pad and the thanks was cut from a Paper Smooches die.  Here's the inside of the card which I turned into a easel/calendar card.

Thought it would be nice to send him off with something he could put on his desk at his new office, or leave at home.  I couldn't leave it at that, I added another card to the bottom so I could write a message inside.  Here is what I came up with...

Keeping it totally CAS was my goal here.  I used a Mama Elephant cloud border die on the same paper and cut one more thanks sentiment.  I hand-wrote "many" above the thanks sentiment and it was done. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday, I've got some cards I need to finish so I'll be busy for the rest of the day.  I'm not complaining.  :D

National Boss' Day cards

Hello!!

Friday was National Boss' Day and I whipped up 3 cards to give to one of the supervisors, mangers and my boss.  We are all in the same unit, and I didn't want to single anyone out.  Coming up with the design wasn't so easy but once I got one down the other two were no-brainers.  I used images that were easy to color and quick to cut out, since the newest Sister Stamps were still on my desk I chose them and love the end result...  To start off here is Dixie peeking over to see what's going on...

Love this window looking die from MFT, it's called Stitched cover-up companion.  I chose to use some of this Bo Bunny paper that I actually use as a backdrop to take pictures.  I decided to cut into it instead and love the way it turned out.  The white background is woven paper from DCWV that I embossed with a floral Sizzix embossing folder.  Die cut the LF hello with dark brown cardstock and added the Recollections flowers/rose with LLLC open flourish leaf to finish it off.  All were adhered to a dark brown card.  Dixie was stamped, colored with Copics, fun-cut and popped on to the card, she is sweet!  Here is the inside of the card.

The Mama Elephant "happy" word was cut and colored to match the pink rose and a quick handwritten sentiment and salutation completed it.  Below are the other two cards similar to the one above.  Here's Boo Boo Bear peeking over with some bright rosy cheeks!

The inside of this card has a golden yellow "happy" which matches the yellow rose above, it was quite nice how that worked out.

Here's the last card featuring the very happy Buster.  Love his cute adorable face!  Makes me smile! Oh and I decided to give him some rosy cheeks too.

And the inside of the card with the red "happy" to match the red rose above.    hahaha!

When I gave each card to the individual they were all confused and wondering what the card was for and also WHO it was for.  They thought there was an event that I made card for to give to someone else.  I told them to open the card and then they'll know what it's for...  So funny!  Especially when they realized it really was for them!  A very happy surprise.

Well on that note I'm going to sign off.  Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my last few posts.  It truly makes my day!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!  Thank you for stopping by!
