If you are in my family, you know how bad I am on birthdays. I never send cards, I rarely call. Sometimes I even remember it is someone's birthday, or I will think about them ALL day, but never pick up the phone to wish them a happy birthday. Last year I made a new years resolution to send a card to everyone (meaning family, sorry friends) on their birthday. I didn't even do the January birthdays.
I decided it was time to get organized. First, I wrote down all the cards I needed for the next year. Second, I pulled out all of my scrapbook supplies that has been sitting unused for years. Third, I started a Card Factory. This is the first time I have really ever made cards. So here are a few. If you are family, beware you might see a card coming your way, if you want it to be a surprise, close your eyes.
Cards for the November babies.
I made almost 20 of these. They are simple and it was really easy to replicate, over and over and over.
I only made a few present cards and two unique birdie cards. I did the birdies at midnight when my brain was fried.
These are my absolute favorite. I was inspired by Meg at whatever's designs for the shirts she makes. Let me tell you, something about making these flowers is super therapeutic. I had the biggest smile on my face the whole time I was making the flower cards. I only wish I had a stash of pretty fabric like my stash of pretty scrapbook paper.

Super cute Ang! I have the same problem!! My sister-in-law is the best at remembering to send a hand written card for everything. She even sends ones for anniversairys as well. I made it a new Years goal and sadly failed again. I love all these cards they are adorable. I am once again modivated to be better at birthdays and sending cards. (for family as well, friends would be over the top for me) Love the flower ones too!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! You are so talented with crafts Angela. I love seeing everything that you are up to! You should open a little online boutique and sell everything you have been making!
