Dream, Dance, Live!


 
Hi there!
 
This isn't a busy work week for me, so I'm able to get into my craft room more often.  I made two cards for a couple of co-workers who took jobs elsewhere...sigh!  We will dearly miss them.  But, they have a new opportunity that couldn't be passed up.  They will both be working together and I'm sure they will do very well at their new jobs!  The first card that I'm posting is for Anna.  She is a very lively nurse with a great sense of humor.  She dares to be different and pushes the envelope...hehehe!  But, she's very efficient and has made several improvements for our department.  So, with all that being said...here is her card...
 
 
I started with a white card base and layered with light blue and green.  Anna loves the color green, so I had to incorporate it.  I think this card describes her well.  She wouldn't go for a pink flowery card at all...lol!  I painted the rainbow with water color paints on watercolor paper and after drying added the glittery word stickers.  And, there you have it, a simple CAS card!  I'm entering this card over at Fab Friday. 
 
Susie was our surgery tech.  A very easy going sweet gal.  She loves bright colors and flowers.  Here is the card that I made for her...
 
 
I started with a white card base and layered with purple and again with white.  The flowers, sentiment and ribbon are from SU.  The butterfly is from Sweet 'n Sassy.  I colored the butterfly and flowers with copics.  And, the pearls are from Doodlebug.  Also, I'm entering this card over at Fab Friday. 
 
I will certainly miss my co-workers, but I'm sure we will all get together some time for dinner as we do with previous co-workers.
 
Thank you for dropping by!  Have a wonderful day!
 
Hugs,
Maria

  6. What? I saw this on my sidebar and thought I would make sure I had commented. I did not see that second card when I commented on the first. I read the post...how could I have missed it. Actually, I was wondering about it and thought you were going to post it later. Duh......I'm losing it.

    Anyway, the card for Susie is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors, flowers, and that gorgeous butterfly.
