twine & tags

this is a quick but oh, so cute Christmas card - in a couple of hours I had multiples ready to send around the country! (the vellum background is a tag die turned upside down and then I used the sentiment strip to cover the hole)

(I'm in love with any shade of purple - in fact, I'm re-decorating my studio in these colors)  my co-worker really liked the colors I used for a recent card, so I thought I would make her birthday card in a similar color combo . . .

celebrate

For my childhood friend/college roommate/bridesmaid - oh, the fun we had growing up together! We managed to survive the 60s & 70s together.  We've lived on opposite coasts for almost 30 years, but I still think about her often . . .
