2 Unique Requests

Some days I wish I could 'retire' from my day job to craft full time!!  ...like I said- I *wish* I could do that...!  lol But reality isn't that bad, especially when I have great weeks like this one!

From my assignment as Birthday Ambassador, came 2 more requests for cards.  The first one was for a second birthday card for the co-worker I made the card for in the previous post.  This card needed to feature Mike Tyson and say something about 'slipping a birthday punch'.  I clearly know nothing about boxing and I didn't get the punch line...and I still don't!  LOL  But that didn't stop me from making a pretty cool card--if I do say so myself! ;o)

I love the Indie Art cartridge and have always wanted to use the fist image- this card gave me the perfect opportunity!  The color scheme worked out nicely, and my the person who requested the card really liked it!  He also thought it was  really funny...so I guess I gave him what he was looking for!

The second request came from another co-worker who wanted a birthday card for his daughter.  She turning 8 and is truly a Girly Girl.  He told me that she love pink, purple, and Barbie.  So I knew that this was going to give me another opportunity to work with my new Forever Young cartridge.

I found this super cute designer paper at Michael's that served as my inspiration.  Then, when I found the image on the cart that reminded me of classic Barbie, I was really on my way. 

I wanted to do something different, so I decided to make a gate fold card.  This is the first gate fold I've done and I think it was a great choice for this young ladies' card!

This weekend is a 3-day weekend and for me that means 3 days of uninterupted crafting!!...or something like that...!  LOL  But I do need to get a jump on the Christmas Cards I'm making for my family.  Sounds like the next project to me!
