Horse Apples

The birthday card I made for my dad last year is the best card he ever received or so he says. My dad belongs to a horse club called Horse'n Around. The club goes on camping trips/trail rides.

I believe this photo was taken in the Badlands. He didn't know he was being photographed.

Here is the now famous birthday card (he took it everywhere and showed everyone)!

I don't know what can do this year to top this.

Any Ideas??

Mother's Day

I made this card for my mom for Mother's Day. Whenever I make cards for my parents, it takes me back to elementary school. It brings back those feelings of anxious anticipation. As an adult I know that my parents love everything I do, but I still have those same childlike feeling.

The card elements came from Crafty Mice ($5.99) svg collection from  http://svgcuts.com/ . Crafty Mice has lots of crafty svgs for knitting, crocheting, photography,painting, gluing, and sewing, plus some mice.
I'm sorry, I don't know where the sentiment came from.  I wish I sknew so I could give credit where it's due.
I made the same card for my husband to send to my mother-in-law.
I hope both Moms like their cards.

What's Your Phone Number?

This was a fun card to make. I love humorous cards. Since I never use the phone book any more, I thought I would find some ways to use parts of it. As I was making these, I happened to notice some familiar names and then it struck me that I could really personalize some of these cards. I found a co-workers name, made her an Un-Birthday card (didn't know when her birthday was). I used the page with her phone number on the inside of the card and circled it in red. Maybe all my friends will be getting something similar.

Here is another card I made for my oldest son. He often loses his phone (he is over 30 years old). I had sent a text message to both my son that read 'Since neither of my children can take the time to call their mother, I am changing my will and leaving everything the the neighbor girl.' My youngest called me within two minutes. I didn't hear from my oldest for another couple of weeks so I sent the card below. The whited out part of the arrow was our home phone number. He did call when he received the card.
