Just wanted to share the card I made last night for Justin's step-Grandpa's birthday. One of my goals this year, or maybe just since I have all the address I'll ever need (we sent our Save The Dates last Thursday), is to be more dilligent in sending out birthday cards - and making sure they get delivered in time for the recipiants birthday! I just feel that since I have the ability, and it's much nicer (and custom made), I will make the cards that I send out.
Now what you don't see (and I'm only sharing this because it's amazing what you can't tell by only seeing the finished product), is the couple of mess ups that happened in the "creative process!" I tried my Studio Calico Doily Lace Border stamp at the bottem edge of the card, it didn't stamp properly; there was a whole chunk that somehow didn't stamp to the paper. What did I do? I Simply changed my plan - I put the patterned paper over top of where I just stamped! Also, the October Afternoon tape measurer stamp from the Cherry Hill collection didn't stamp properly either (I need to figure out what this problem is). So I put my sentiment over top of the area that messed up! And, you can't tell from the pictures, but I used foam dots to raise up the sentiment. So, even when a card has a couple issues, you can still pull it together in the end!
