Birthday card ...

Here's a birthday card I made a few weeks ago.  It isn't anything new ... just need a quick card.  I love this little guy ... he's so cute!  I have a few of him with ballons, so I put him on the inside of the card as well ... love doing that :)

Mother's Day Card ...

On Mother's day, we took my mom to Mikasa for sushi ... yummy :)  We order quite a bit of sushi ... enough for a boat ;)  We also entertained ourselves with some origami using the paper the chopsticks came in ... as well as our napkins.  Mommy made a bunny and mouse with her napkin ... just like she did when we were kids :)

Here's the card we gave her ...

and here's the inside of the card ...


The flower and frame comes from the anniversary stamp set "Pretty Peonies" from Papertrey Ink.  I love this stamp set!

Card share ...

Sorry for going MIA for a while.  I'm still adjusting to the new job ... not working from home anymore since I don't have anymore evening calls or receive 20-30 emails the next morning :)  We've been in meetings in Saguenay last week and will be going back for the next 3 weeks.  Hopefully, I'll be sleeping better than the last couple of weeks.  The new job has definitely allowed me to do things out of my comfort zone!

Here's a card that I've been trying to get done for sometime now.  Initially, I planned to work on it during my vacation.  Since my vacation was cut in half, I didn't have time to work on it.  At first, I was going to make a bunch of onesie into cards ... one for each team member.  Unfortunately, I didn't get the text from everyone, so I decided to make a regular card.


My colleague and I also got some gifts from the Montreal Canandian's store ... yup, we're trying to turn Mia into a HABs fan early on ;)  I re-package everything to give it a more personal touch and to reduce the size of the package we were sending through.  The original package was quite big!

Here's the original packaging:

 

This is what I did with a plastic container my stamps came it ... recycling!  I added some ribbon and a tag ... et voilĂ !


I didn't have a box for the botties, so I made a box ...
