Happy Birthday Matthew!

Made a fun card yesterday with Sheryl. Her son's birthday was yesterday so, drawing from my 'pieces' pile, I whipped this card up. Had a lot of fun making it. Didn't turn out at all what I had envisioned making him but I love it just the same!

With Deepest Sympathy

This card was made for the family of a man that was very kind to my family when my brother passed away less than 8 months ago. To my brother, he was a boss and mentor. He was very generous in offering up reward money for information in the arrests of the persons responsible for my brother's death. He spent his life in service to Laguna Beach and made such a positive contribution to that community. He will be sorely missed there by many.
