Today I was heading over to my friend Alison's to have a stampin' play date. We had it planned for a couple of weeks. Isn't it funny how you have to schedule time for fun stuff too in this hectic time we live in?
But first this morning my future daughter-in-law Kiara came over to get some help making Thank You cards for two companies she has applied to for an internship. She wanted to use the websites as inspiration and we came up with two of them that I think will work. One I am not keen on as the colours are not my "thing" but I love how the other one turned out.
This is the first one...the home page of the company is yellow and black and they use daisy outlines through out the site.
It is 5x5 and I REALLY wish I had put a ribbon around the Thank You part..or use my piercing tool maybe. I'll see if Kiara has sent them and if not ask if I can edit it a bit more. It was a nice way to start the day with this wonderful young lady...we are so lucky to have her in our lives. Watch the fashion scene...she will be a designer in the near future and I think she will do amazingly well in her field. For my birthday she made me a beautiful top :-)
So then I packed up my toys and was heading out the door when my SIL called in tears..she was heading to emergency and was worried and asked if I could pick up her three children from the different places they happened to be today. So I canceled the play day..picked up the kids dropped them home and later this evening took her hubby to the hospital to pick her up and drive her home as she was quite medicated for pain and they wouldn't let her drive. I think she is sleeping well tonight.
Then...I got to plan another play date...I am taking a Copic Marker Technique class at my friend Haroldine's on Sunday. She is hosting 3 classes by Marianne Walker and a bunch of us are going out to take the class. I am SO excited. This lady is THE Copic expert. Check out her blog: HERE
She is the Product Expert for Copic and is a graphic artist also.
Haroldine recently started selling Copics and has converted so many of her customers. She and her husband Bob are both certified (Bob was(is??) the first guy to be certified)
I own a few Copics but don't know how to use them so will enjoy the class...hey..there is a bunch of us going so it's a girl day too and I get to see my good friends Haroldine & Bob too :-).
It's all good when it ends well right?
Oh Alison and her daughter are coming too, and Kathy, and Sheila, and Hayley and Diane and me..and hoping Colleen can make it too. Fun Fun Fun.a play date :-)
Tomorrow I will share the other card we made this morning...so much nicer than this one...warm pretty colours, same layout but totally different look.
OH...I just got a great idea on how to make the first card nicer...hmmm...have to go play...
