There is nothing wrong with things that take time

This weekend I had problems with my Internet so I haven't been able to get around like I wanted to.  Otherwise I started doing things and it would go down.  They said that they "fixed" the problems when they came and did a home visit today.  So I'm hoping that my comments were left and that it is all corrected now.  It is terrible that such a thing of not having access for several days REALLY affects our lives and you feel like you are stranded or cut off from the world.
For this card, I used an image and sentiment from Mo Manning called Suso that I made for a friend. I embossed the background and sanded the paper.

Go Andrew

My daughter came home for the weekend and I was so excited since I haven't seen her in quite some time.  Then she told me on Friday that she was going to go on Saturday to one of her student's hockey games because they were going to be playing a local team.  She wanted a card to give to him, and couldn't find one at Target and I offered her one of mine, but my stash didn't have exactly what she was looking for. So.....I offered to make her a personalized card.  So I used the Mo's image Lil' Hockey Guy and then made a computer sentiment.  Apparently he loved the card and was quite surprised.

Congratulations on graduating from college

My daughter will be graduating on Saturday so this is the card that I made for her.  It is using an image from Mo Manning and a sentiment from TLC.  I was so excited to do it in her school colors and then she told me that she has a black gown.  I was also so excited that I made cards for the two girls, but I forgot about my daughter's boyfriend.....so I have to make one more.

Diaper spelled backwards is REPAID

One of my co-workers is pregnant and they are expecting a girl in July.  They are not going with traditional colors the girls room is blue and green.  So that's why I tried to use those colors in this card with just a splash of pink.  The image is from Mo Manning and the sentiment is from TLC.
