First card of 2011

Hello,

I managed to get a card done before my 1st chemo treatment.  My Oncologist nurse was celebrating her birthday on my first treatment and I decided to make her a card to brighten her day.  She is a really nice person and I know she likes the color blue.

Mary Beth's Card

I wanted to take a picture of her, but I didn't got a chance.  I will try next time.

That is all for now.  I have been working on some other projects and I hope to have it done soon to share with you.

Take care,

2010 Cards

Hello,

Wow!  It has been almost 1 year that I haven't post in here.  Last year was a very busy and stressful year.  I spent way too many hours working, my father-in-law passed away and I got diagnosed with breast cancer.  No wonder I haven't touch my blog. :-)  I did find time last year to create some cards.  As I was going through the photos folder looking for pictures of the cards, I was surprised by how many cards I actually managed to create last year.

This card was created for my brother Carlos' birthday.  He is a big kid and he likes technology, so I thought this robot  would be perfect for him.

I love this card.  It is one of my favorites cards of all time.  This card was given to one of our  friend's son.  His parents loved the card so much that they added to a shadow box they created for Casey.  :-)

I created this card for my sister-in-law Connie.  She loves dragonflies.  Is is my second favorite card of the year.

The next 4 cards were created for Easter.  I gave each one of my brothers, my sister, my mom and my dad one of these cards.  This picture of  Joshua and Priscilla are one of my favorites.

My friend Kim Occhiuti breeds Australian Terries.  She asked me to create this card for one of her friends that live in Australia.

The daughter of a member of the twins club I belong had some major surgery.  The members of the club were asked to help her out with meals. I make the family some wonderful homemade Mac and Cheese and along with the meal I sent this card to brighten her day.

I made this card to my niece Emma.  I used my new Copic Markers to color the card.  I am just learning how to color with these great markers.

I gave this card to my Mom on her Birthday.

I took this picture of the Crocus on my yard last spring.  I created this card for my Mom for Mother's Day.  My mom loves Crocus.

This card is tied for #1 of my all time favorite cards.  My niece Sabrinna celebrated her 12th birthday in November.  The theme of her birthday party was the Twilight movie.  I created this card for her by using the Twilight font and adding the horizontal and vertical lines.  I never seen the movies but a quick search online told me that a red ribbon has some significance in the movie.  I decided to use the red ribbon in my design.  

Joshua and Priscilla gave this card to Vovó (Grandma) on her Birthday.  My mom loves pictures, so I always try to include pictures of the kids in her cards.   

I gave this card to my Uncle Anthony.  He has been bedridden for about a year now due to having several small strokes.

Hello Kitty paper piecing for Caroline.  Caroline is the corporate photographer at my company and she loves Hello Kitty.  Her cubicle is a Hello Kitty museum.  Caroline is a very nice person and I wanted to do something special for her.  This Hello Kitty is now part of Caroline's museum.

That is all for 2010. I hope you enjoyed viewing these cards as much as I enjoyed creating this post.  It was nice to recap the past year and to look forward to 2011.

Take care,
