Squared Catch

 

As my sister and I are twins, I kinda wanted to have some fun with her birthday card this year! I do love hanging out with her, but it's so difficult now that she and I live so far apart. I miss her! These little monkeys bring a smile to my face and remind me of us as kids.... just hanging out with each other. She's my best friend - always - as she's my twin!

Thanks for hanging around!

Catching Friends

 

This card has loads of layers and it was so cute to put together. My niece loves her kitty, so each year I try to incorporate a cat on her card. Now, her cat is black and white, but her name is peaches.... so I chose to make my cat brown. (wink).

I didn't start out using this color combo... I knew I wanted to color the cat brown and the water blue... it just fit that the fish would be orange. Well in this case: Mango Melody/Pool Party and Crumb Cake.

I used 2 of the new Designer Series Paper from this years catalog. I believe I'll be using them a lot!
