Neighbor's Birthday

 

Cute!

Our neighbors have a really nice family!  When one of them have a birthday they have a huge taco feed.  I am lucky enough to be invited when they do this.  Today is Russ's birthday celebration so I found my cute stamp set "Slow & Steady" by Our Craft Lounge and created this cute card.  The paper I used is the prize I received for a challenge over at my favorite craft store in the whole world, Memories of Time.



Inside is cute too!

Sympathy

Recently we were notified about the passing of one of my husbands friends.  His friend Dick was his teacher in high school.  They became friends and kept in touch throughout the years.  We exchanged Christmas Cards and each time my husband visited his home back in Massachusetts, he was sure to visit him. They would have lunch or meet at his home. The last time I was there I met him for the first time and could see why Michael and he were so fond of each other.  He was a very special man! I don't keep this kind of card around "just in case" and thankfully I don't have to make them too often, so I started looking for ideas.  I always look to my friend Tammie for inspriation - her cards are always so great - not sure there is anyone who can color as well as she does!!!  Keeping in mind that imitation is the best form of flattery, I used her idea for this card.

Son's Birthday

I even stamped the envelope

My son Ryan is my baby.  My baby is all grown up, not quite as old as Gramps here, though!!??
Ryan is a son that anyone would be proud of, and I don't say that just because he's my son - everyone who knows him says that!!!
Ryan has always loved to play golf, but as with a lot of us, doesn't get the time to play as often as he would like.  So, I thought that using Golfin' Gramps by OCL would be the perfect theme!  He loved it!!  As always I  get all of my supplies at myfavorite store Memories of Time!

Grandson Brendan's 14th Birthday Card

It seems as if it were yesterday that my Grandson Brendan was born, but he just had his 14th birthday.  He's growing into a nice, polite young man and I'm really proud of him!   Where did the time go?!  I'm happy that as of yet he still looks forward to visiting for a couple of weeks each summer.  He told me last year that he didn't think he'd ever get tired of coming to our house!!  Warmed my heart, it did for sure!!

Baby Congratulations

Baby Girl Card

Baby Boy Card



Two of my friends were due have new babies, one in January and one in February.  Using this adorable giraffe by Stampendous which I picked up at my favorite craft store Memories of Time I made cards for both a boy and a girl.  When I had kids we found out what our baby was when we had them, but these days  parents can know months ahead if they choose.  Since I never had the choice, I'm not sure what I would do now - how 'bout you?  Would you want to know or be surprised?!
