SixtySix-Across Party Lines

No, I am not cheering for "compromise" happening in Washington finally. I am cheering for my cousin who was just chosen to run for board of selectmen for his party in his hometown this fall. Despite any political differences we may have, and honestly we've never really discussed the issue so who knows what if any those differences are, I love him and fully support what I'm sure is only the beginning of a long, successful career of public service.

FiftyOne-My Second Assisgnment

 

This is crooked but not as crooked as it looks because it is scanned crooked. One of these days I really am going to use the ruler. Anyway, this was an assignment (is there a better word?) from my mom who is attending the high school graduation party of one of her co-worker's daughters. The only direction I was given is that her favorite color is teal or which I couldn't really find any teal, well not until after I finished this one anyway, so I went with this cool blue and brown combination. I don't know why I am so into this combination but I am, my bedding is even a variation on this. Anyway, this was probably one of the more involved pieces as far as paper cutting went. I hope it's cool enough for "kids these days".

Yikes! Somebody put one of those electronic ankle bracelets on me and monitor my craft store visits! I "stopped in" under the guise of getting an orange stamp marker because I don't have one. Do you see any orange in this card? No, you don't, or if you do, seek medical attention immediately. I did buy an orange marker however I also bought some watercolor markers, new stamps, and a bunch of other stuff not seen in this picture. I am medium happy with how this turned out. I actually planned out and measured where I wanted everything to go so it would be lined up nicely and that didn't quite happen but I like the colors and layout overall. Also, I think I spelled Jeannie's name right so yay for that!

Eleven-Paisley Power

 

FYI, I have no clue what that weird smudge-like thing is in the bottom right hand corner, there is nothing on the card itself and nothing on my scanner so just pretend it's not there, okay? :) So, I actually kind of like the idea of this except for the obvious alignment issues. I will definitely try something similar to this when I have more of a mind to concentrate and really make it nice. This card does not have a specific recipient in mind, well, not true, it does but I am too scared to give it to the person I had in mind when I made it so we will see where it ends up, if anywhere.

Eight-Stars and Stripes

Okay, so I guess this isn't really a card but after attending my local Memorial Day parade for the first time in the eight years I've lived here I was feeling a little patriotically inspired. No stamping, all punches and cutting. Also, I had some help last night and here is my helper with her own card:
