Congratulations - Farwell - Miss You

It's always hard to say goodbye to a co-worker, but it's easy when they are moving on to a great opportunity. To commemorate the next chapter in her career, I made the following card...

 

This card represents a few sports she loves, snowboarding, surfing and bicycling.

I attached all the pieces by a brad so that the pages can be rotated...it'll make it easy for all my co-workers to access the card pages to sign it.

Christmas in the Summer

Stores this year have been promoting Christmas in July. Strange you might say? Not really.

It takes quite a deal of time to make gifts for people and you can't procrastinate...so the earlier you start, the better it is for you.

A few years ago, 2008, I had decided to knit scarves for a handful of close friends and family.

So off I went to Walmart to pick up a variety of colours of yarn...

This green one was for my niece Michelle. She chose green as her latest favourite colour.

So I put together this cute little green one with it's twists and tassled ends.

This purple one was for one of my best friends, Melanie.

During this time she was leaning towards the colour purple, so a purple butterfly pattered scarf it was for her.

 
 

This simple brown scarf was for one of the guys, who wasn't into any frill. Quite suitable for anyone! One of the easiest to make.

This funky blue scarf has a V-pattern on either ends. It was quite complex for a simple looking design.

Another simple scarf for one of the guys. This one has a checkered textured pattern.



I had a great time making different scarves for different people. I think for that year, I made almost a dozen scarves. Each took me about a half a month to make depending on the complexity of the pattern and design...along with how many mistakes I made along the way because I lost count...lol

Probably in a few more years, I'll come up with something else to make for a select few :) 

Butterflies for the Bride

Jenny, my soon to be godsister-in-law, loves butterflies. Quite suitable, since she's going to be marrying my godbrother Yuan, who we have dubbed bumblebee because of his motorcylce and matching riding gear.

For Jenny's wedding shower I used my Silhouette SD to make her a bunch of butterflies for all the gals to write messages on for her...

Graduating Canucks Fan

Congratulations Michelle on your high school graduation!
Soo sorry your graduation was during a Vancouver Canucks Playoff game.
It's all okay...I'll cheer on Kesler for you.

Here's a little grdaution card made from my Silhouette SD for Michelle...
