I was so excited when my friend, Cyndee, agreed to paint a picture for my daughter, Chloe. I asked her for an angel that shared Chloe's hair & eye color, and here is what she created! I just LOVE it! After a break, I just may have to commission another of her original works. :)
On Wednesday, my coworker is celebrating 25 years with our company. I offered to make a card for her 
celebratory luncheon this week. I broke out my Cricut for the numerals on the front of the card. I decided to use a Tri-Shutter Card...my first attempt. (I was inspired by a SplitCoastStampers tutorial I viewed on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su-3T3sd4r0).

The Tri-Shutter is a unique design that allows you to show off your great patterned papers. Although I didn't mat my patterned paper this time, I think I will do so next time around because I like the effect the layering provides. I chose to keep the embellishments to a minimum as I knew the card would be passed around quite a bit, and because I needed to leave plenty of surface area for others to write their congratulatory remarks.
I love experimenting with creative card designs...it keeps card making and scrapbooking new and exciting!
