Card for Work

Posting a card that I made today for work. My department at work is thanking another department for the help and hard work they are doing for us. We bought them cookies and they will be delivered to them along with this card ( after everyone signs it). Hoping they will like their surprise and the card too !
Here is the card:

and here is the inside---enough room for everyone to sign:

I think I got a little too close for the picture on the front of the card--not as clear as I would have liked it.
Well, that's it for today.  I give eveyone so much credit that can make 2 or 3 cards in one day.  Maybe if I plan my cards ahead of time it would be easier and faster--you think?
Good bye weekend and hello to a new work week.

I made a St Patrick's Day card for my February Mingle swap at LNS.  This card is for my friend Gail Lass. Gail loves lace and I tried so hard to put some on the front of the card, just didn't work out............ but I put some inside just for her :)
I used my Irish Maggie. It's funny, when you are making a card ( or at least with me), sometimes I struggle with how I want it. BUT, when I'm all done, I then can think of a zillion things I could have done. Ah, will have to try and store those ideas for the next time. Here is the card:

and here is the inside of the card:


The lace was just too wide and didn't look right on the front.
 Have you ever made a card and put it in a safe "place" and then forgot all about it?  Well, I made a get well card for Gail and did that.  Out of sight (and my fault)--out of mind ( that is happening to me a lot lately!!).  Anyway came across the card today and almost died--thought for sure I had mailed it.  Now that is a BIG OOPS.  Sent it off to Gail today along with the St Patty's card--with a note;

Here is the card ---kind bright, don't you think?

And here is the inside to that card:


Ha Ha, maybe it was a good thing she didn't get this when she wasn't feeling well.
Have 2 more cards I'm working on--when I get them done, I'll post them.
Have a nice day.

Thought I would  post another card that I made.  Of course, it is one of the Gurlee Girls---this one is called Kisses Girl.  She is such a honey.  I made this for my LateNightStampers Mingle for January --secret swap. I was late and only got it in the mail on Saturday--the 29th--it should have been in the mail on the 25th---but the snow was not on my side--so it will be a few days late.  Hope she likes it and the goodies that I'll be sending too.
and this is the inside:
Well, that is it--going to keep at this weekly until I feel comfortable with it and then will try more "stuff" on the blog.

On the bottom right are different size hearts--hard to see, but they are there.
Thanks for looking

New card

Hi,
Just wanted to share a card with you.  Colored up one of the Gurlee Girl stamps, this one is called Cammy Girl and I just love, love her.  Check out her eyes!!  These are the clear stamps and oh my, so easy to color and they stamp ever so nicely too.  Maybe I don't take the best of pictures, but trust me--she is awesome.  Well maybe not my coloring yet............. but just go to Chelsea's site and check out her work--.
