"Marci Day" cards

Summer - it's not over!  Just when we thought that it was, August is here with warmer weather. I don't even mind the windy or cooler days.  My husband and I call these "Marci Days" because I can stay inside and craft - not feeling guilty because we should be doing something outside.  Hope you are enjoying your cooler summer days too -  I think September is going to stretch it out for us.  Here's hoping for a long Fall - cheers!


Created these embossed cards for my girlfriends.  They are so worth it!
I heart the Spellbinder and Memory Box templates. Lots of work, but lots of fun always :)

It's not easy figuring out what birthday cards to design for men.  No sparkles permitted I'm told...so I think these work...I think!  Work in progress...

Well, that's all the cards for now!  I've been working on a "sketch a day" so maybe I'll post them some day.  Sketching is so relaxing - I understand why people enjoy it.  Even if it's a small sketch that only takes 20 minutes.  It's almost like meditation - concentrating on something for a little while to take you away from the daily stresses of life.  Plus, you actually finish something you can look at for years down the line - something you created.
