A Birthday Blessing & Martha Stewart

I got a request from a co-worker to create a nice card for her mother's birthday. While I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do initially, I did know that I wanted to use this nice rich red paper that I had. I coupled it with some designer paper (I forgot the manufacturer- opps!) and decided to create a 6X6 square card.

Plenty of Crafting...Not Much Blogging!

It's been a looonng time!!  Or at least it feels that way since I have posted what's been going on in my creative daze!  Lately, there have been lots and *lots* of projects to keep me busy and I haven't been that dedicated to blogging the results when I complete them.  Truth be told, I even forget to snap pics of what I've done...ugh...  But I am going to try and get back in the swing of things- and who knows- maybe I'll finally finish the tutorials I've been working on for-ev-er!  

Anyway, I wanted to share a Birthday Ambassador card with you guys that my wonderful co-worker Lidia made!  Lidia is an ultra-talented crafter that I am so glad to call my Co-Ambassador!

My First Card Swap!

I am finally participating in my very first card swap and I am super-duper excited!  The theme for the swap is 'Fall/Just Because'.  I haven't ever done a fall card before, so this was a great challenge for me-- and a fun one!!

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)
