So this one would be really great except it is a prime example of my inability to know when to say when. This card was cool in black and white until I went and slopped on the glue and glitter. My intentions were good but I didn't realize how thick and matte the glue was and how super fine and delicate the glitter was- a very bad combination. On a side note, when I asked Elaine what her favorite colors were so I could incorporate them into her card she, having a black sense of humor, said "black." So here it is, a black and white birthday card. I may have to experiment with this a little more. It could probably be pretty sophisticated if I tried.

Birthday card two of three for my new co-workers. Cool green pearlescent paper that I also picked up at the extravaganza with a simple yet cute cupcake design. Also notice the large cupcake versa marked on the envelope was the same one I did in shrinkable plastic on the previous card. Yet another goodie from last weekend.

Necessity is not only the mother of invention, it is the drill sergeant of productivity. Just as my will/inspiration was flagging, three people at work had birthdays within six days of each other, one yesterday, one tomorrow, and one a couple of days ago. So every one's card will be belated but they won't be from Hallmark. One brief note about technique: I love the designs on the envelope, it's from a product called Versa Mark which is a watermarking pad. It hasn't been working on any of the card stock I bought, I think because of the coating  but it works great on these recycled brown paper grocery bag envelopes I picked up at the stamp extravaganza last week.
