Thinking of you & Happy Birthday

It's been a few days since the kids have had a few things going on.  My daughter had a talent show and did her dance routine (trio).  And Sunday was the dance banquet and since I was on the committee it was a long day with the set up and such.  It was a rather emotional event since she is a senior, but it is great to see all the friends and great experience she has gained.

Now that I had sometime to myself....late in night.
I made this card for the Tiddly Ink Challenge which is to Go Green.  I used the Jedi log digital image.
I can also enter this card in the Pixie Dust Challenge for Go Green.
And also for Paper Sundaes for embossing for the wood look.  http://papersundaes.blogspot.com/

Cards for Fun

I actually made these cards for a work project, but they were more for fun.  It seems that I am usually making cards for a challenge since that has a specific goal in mind.  Then I pull from my stash for my needs or try to incorporate the specific card I need into one of the challenges.
