September and October bdays and anniversaris

A very busy time of the year and it just gets busier. I start all the calendars in June and then work on them in between the cards. I have all of them done with just the final "once over" to make sure of finishing details, etc.

This first card is for my youngest grandson who turned 8 this year. he said that he really liked the cupcake. The card is in the form of a folder to which I added a gift card and other various pictures.

I do think that drawing the main portion of the cards has become my favorite project lately. I get the ideas online or from magazines or books that I have. They are usually stamps that people use or is specked in the instructions. I am not a "stamper" and prefer to draw adding in my own flair. This is for a grand-nephew who turned 2.

A postcard that I cut into "tiles" and layered. I really love this effect. This is an anniversary card for a niece.

 

Another anniversary for another niece. I got this idea from a Valentine. They are celebrating their 15th year!

For my dear friend, Mary and her husband. She loves roses and most of the cards I make for her include them in some way.

Back to the drawing and coloring. This is for my nephew who just turned 26...I think.

For my niece, the above nephew's sister who will be 25 soon.

For yet another niece who will be 7 on Halloween.

To my sister who celebrates on the 25th. The Mother to the two older one's above.

For a grand-niece who will be 12 on the 11th. These are cut from paper with button centers.
