In between working on the prompts for Creativity Bootcamp, taking care of the garden, going to a wonderful photography show featuring local women photographers, volunteering, and the usual exercise classes and chores, I've managed to get some cards and layouts made. The first is a card for a friend who is retiring this year. There's a luncheon for her on Saturday. I'm hoping to get a set of thank you notes made to give to her as well.
This card was inspired by a card by Jennifer Buck featured on the Jillibean blog. All the products used on it are from Jillibean except the card base and the ribbon.
And another one because I had more paper on the desk to use.
Patterned paper: Old World Cabbage Stew (Jillibean); rickrack: Bean Stalks (Jillibean); sentiment: clear stamps (Jillibean); dies: Spellbinders cherry; embossing folders: Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" & Sizzix "Birthday Set #2
And three more layouts for the California album:
All "Mama Razzi" by BoBunny except for the stamp (which it looks like I'd better redo--a bit slanted, I fear)
And my favorite of the three is about our walk along the stream at the UC Davis Arboretum:
Patterned paper: Fruitcake (Basic Grey), Basics (Basic Grey) & "Today" (Scenic Route); cork alpha (unknown); Craft Paper alpha stickers (Colorbok); label stickers: Basics (Basic Grey); digital template: Cathy Z Layered Template No. 13
