Beside the obvious in your children, parents, spouse, and any family in general, or any romantic interest, who is your someone special? There's a gal at my work that keeps me sane. She dutifully answers any questions that I have (and I ask a lot!), doesn't get impatient, has some really crazy stories and makes me laugh. With all the tough times and many transitions that we've had, she's been the constant, the reliable, and the someone special~at work anyway!
I'm here today with a few cards made with Artful Delight's October Card Kit. I'm delighted to say that I've been accepted back for another term as an Artful Delight Card Kit Design Team Member, and look forward to showcasing more projects, tutorials and tricks for the next six months. I really enjoyed working with the ladies from this past term as well. I keep saying it and each time I mean it even more: I love these kits.
So these two cards feature labels trimmed from a sheet of patterned paper, wood veneers, card bases all from the kit, the sentiments were stamped and the stamp set was part of the kit too! I only added some burlap string and used a branch die on the first card.
Contents of the November Scrapbook and Card Kits were just announced on the Artful Delight Blog yesterday and its another fantastic kit!
Both of your cards are gorgeous...love the pretty green card bases and the clusters of goodness.
ReplyDeleteI love how you featured the wood veneer elements and used the green and neutrals together.
