I found myself in a predicament recently - I had three important cards to give, but no cards in my stash! Eek! I literally only had a few minutes to whip something together, I quickly picked some stamps and stuck with one color scheme and layout - no coloring! It only took me about 3-minutes per card.
The first is for the Assistant Principal at the school I teach. We had a surprise baby shower for her and I was scrambling for a card. I generally keep a couple baby cards on hand, but had given them away to other peeps who needed to give baby cards.
Baby cards are really tough for me as I'm just not a "baby" person, LOL, but I do love this image of the baby in a nest. It was this card that I prompted my green color theme. The mama-to-be and her husband want to be surprised by the baby's gender. Her due date is in only 1-week and I hope, for her sake, they know sooner than later :)
Card #2 went to an amazing woman who is nothing short of a hero to me, Kathy DiRanna. I've had the pleasure of working with Kathy through a K12 Alliance grant I've been able to be a part of for a couple years now. She is a true inspiration and one of the kindest people I've met. While at a conference last month, Kathy, in her usual lovely and generous spirit, treated all of us K12 Alliance folks to dinner at a super yummy Chinese restaurant. Of course, we all had fun with our fortune cookies after dinner.
The inside had another special sentiment from A Muse's Fortune Cookie Words clear set. I have a feeling this card cracked her up :)
The third card is for two great friends of mine who always do special things to bring people together - I so value how much they try to make people feel welcomed and a part of their "family".
So there you have it, three super quickie cards for three special occasions. Simple is working for me lately!
