His & Hers day 1 homework

Hi friends.  I decided to take the online class called His & Hers.  I really enjoyed the Patterned Play online class as well.  For yesterday's homework we were to make a female card and a masculine card.  I decided to use the same sketch for both of my cards.  Here is my female card:


I used the colors for Dynamic Duos this week.


My masculine card:


I couldn't decide WHAT to put up at the top of the masculine card so I left it alone.  Do you think it needs something?  I tried just wrapping black ribbon around the top but that didn't look right.  Let me know what you think.


I am also entering in the Simon Says - Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Birthday

Hi friends.  Sorry for being quite here.  I have been in a creative slump lately.  I think it is spring fever.  We have been having some beautiful spring weather here in NH (finally) and I want to take advantage of it.  Also, I home school our 4 children so that has been taking up some of my time as well.  Evaluations are coming up.  YIKES!  :)  Here is my card for Seize the Birthday:

  

Here is the sketch I followed and this week it was a masculine card:

Wish big!

Hi friends.  I think I spoke too soon about spring being here, we had a few snow flurries yesterday morning and even though the sun was shining it was cold.  It will be here to stay soon though.  I was inspired by The Play Date Cafe colors and photos.  I love these colors together so I just had to play along.  My card kind of came out the way I envisioned.  Here it is:


Here is the inspiration:




I was inspired by the colorful diamonds on the bottom.  I am also entering this card at Cas-ual Fridays where the theme is birthday.  Happy Birthday Michelle!!!
