July activities and cards

I have the papers cut and sorted for my annual calendar project. I will start printing the months today. And then the rest of the year between other bdays, holidays and anniversaries I will be working on them.


I made a card for a friend who was hosting a 30 year anniversary (at work) party for a coworker. She wanted pearls and the color green to be used and other than that I was free to choose the design

I wasn't going to add anything on the inside but decided that this quote from Mae West was fitting

This card is for my husband's Aunt. She likes frogs and will celebrate on the 21st. The background is recycled from my Mom's bday party decorations. The frog was drwan way before i brought home the decorations and I thought  that this went perfect.

My Mom's card. It is a six panel card. This is the first 3.

The 2nd 3

And then each one individually

All is hand drawn and cut,peiced together and embellished. I did use a corner punch and my scalloped shears on some of the pieces.  

This is a scrap book I made for Mom for her to add memories of the party.

I had the guests add their thoughts to some of the pages, leaving the darker ones to add photos, etc. later
