Julie - Award Night at Pier 21, Halifax

Julie won the Halifax County Dental Society award for the three "P's" - Professionalism, Participation and Positivity. With this award came a cheque of $150.00! She was happy about the money part. LOL! Here are a few pics. The lighting in the room was very dim during the ceremony and I was quite far from the stage. I used my zoom; however, the pics of Julie being presented are a bit blurry.

"You're Sweet" Thinking of you card

This card is for a friend which I mailed recently but forgot to upload it. The cupcakes, roses and verse are by Inkadinkadoo #97628 clear acrylic stamps. I coloured the cupcakes with watercolour pencils and added Stickles for bling. The background paper and striped paper is by Stampin Up. I think the paper on the Nestie is Basic Grey but not sure as it was a scrap.

Eeek! I just noticed I have used that Martha Stewart Punch on my last few cards. I have a new zigzag/dot border MS punch on order. Can't wait to receive it so I can change up my layouts! LOL

Sympathy Card

I made this card and got it in the mail last week for Cindy on Inkstainers whose MIL recently passed away. I also entered it on CropStop.com for their weekly challenges "Monochromatic".
The background is floral paper which I sponged with lavender versamagic chalk ink around the edges, and also on the Nesties Oval. The verse on the oval is by Cloud 9 Designs "Simple Thoughts". I think the words are really meaningful!

Kickin Up Dirt - Birthday card for SIL Jeff

My SIL Jeff's birthday is coming up on June 11th, so I made this card today to take with me to the city when I visit Julie & Jeff on June 10th. They just bought a new house and Jeff wants to make a vegetable garden. I bought him a new shovel and some other tools for his birthday, so thought the verse "kicking up dirt" was appropriate! LOL! Jeff is interested in wilderness activities - rock climbing, ATV'ing, hiking, kayaking, etc. He says he would love to be on the "Survivor Man" television show.
The stamp set is from CTMH -#D1151 "Off Road". I'm not sure if it's still in their cattie or not.I watercoloured the images and used Crystal Glaze on the ATV headlights and helmet face shield for dimension. Also used my Nesties Rectangle dies, and the Martha Stewart border punch. Copper brads and green metallic evergreen tree embellies.
