Great Canadian Swappers

I am part of a swap group called the Great Canadian Swappers. Every two months, we create cards for each other using guidelines created by one person in the group. This is the first card I created for the December group. It is a simple Thank-you card using Tara’s guidelines.

Tara's guidelines:
- 4x4
- Orange, brown & pink theme
- 2 cardstocks in 2 of the above colors
- 1 b&t in the remaining color (ie. if you use brown & orange cardstock, then please use pink b&t)
- flowers, either stamped, paper or homemade
- some sort of 2 step stamping
-ribbon

Happy Birthday, Jaxon!

Today, my nephew, Jaxon, is three. He is crazy about trains and as I looked through my stamps, I realized I did not have a single one with trains (must rectify that real soon)! So, I shrunk a coloring page and printed it out and paper pieced it. I am alright with how it turned out. And Jaxon is three, so he really won’t care about the card at all Happy Birthday, buddy! We sure are going to miss you when you move away to Alberta!

Happy Birthday, Jess!

Another friend, another birthday! Jess’s birthday was on Monday. She was my boss at the Co-op, but now that I am not working there anymore, we can be “real” friends. It was hard for us because we hit it off right away when I started there, but because she was my immediate supervisor, we couldn’t really have a relationship outside of work. Now we can and we are both happy about it. Our kids are the same age and we will definitely getting together a lot more now. So, my real friend, Happy birthday!

All products used in this card were from CTMH. The paper was from the Cherry-O pack. Other things used were the tulip mini medleys, the autumn daisy flowers (retired), big pinks flowers, heartfelt wonder, cocoa grosgrain and tulip grosgrain.
