Turquoise and Pearls

This is a nice spring and summer necklace. Turquoise can be worn with so many colors. The pearls give it the sprintime look.

Two 50th Birthdays This Year

Both of us have a younger brother that turned 50 this year. Their birthdays are just about a month apart so I couldn't post Tom's until I sent out Bill's. They both got the same card with a few changes.

Tom's had a compass for letterboxing and Bill's had a sleeping bag for camping. Tom's background was black and Bill's was blue. I am trying to use up some of that blue paper that I never seem to use.

Happy Retirement

A good friend of ours recently retired from UPS. I knew the time was coming soon, so when I saw this truck designed by Sue Berker, I added the site to my favorites. Here is where I found the template for the truck.

I put some chocolate mints inside of it as a little gift.

Then I needed a card. I had prepared for this too. At Christmas I saw a UPS man dressed up with a Santa hat on Ellen Kemper's blog. http://blinkthinkink.blogspot.com/ If you like punch art hers is a must see blog. I removed the santa hat and made a baseball cap.

I got the UPS copyrighted logo from some coupons that I got in the newspaper from the UPS store. Click on the pictures to enlarge them and see if you can figure out which SU punches I used.

Happy Easter

I made these cute bunnies with Anna. They could very easily become a Mother's Day or Valentine's Day card too. The other card is made using the Sizzix mover's and shapers die. It is suppose to look like Easter decorations in a window.
