My Cup of Tea

I bought the WMS Afternoon Tea set and matching die earlier this year with the idea of making something special for my dear friend Maggie who celebrated her 50th birthday in April - she is somewhat partial to a cup of tea.  I also probably had her in mind when I picked up this Garden Tea Party Stack from DCWV last year.  

This card is also for her but unfortunately this time to give her comfort as she is now facing 3 months of chemo.  Her chances are excellent as it was diagnosed early, but the next few months will be tough for her.  

I've used Seize the Sketch #27 as inspiration for the layout.  They're winding up today so I had better get a wriggle on or I will miss the link up on their last sketch.

Passport Merci

My husband suggested we make a card to thank out local pharmacist for going through the whole passport renewal process for our young son Simon.  I knew immediately I would use this Postage and Frame stamp and embossing folder set from Sizzix and Hero Arts as I think it resembles a passport page.  I also wanted to use this little fellow from WMS Half Pint Heroes additions.

Make it Monday has a challenge this week to use Tags and Toppers so that ultimately influenced the design for this card.  Additional travel stamps used on the tag were from Kaisercraft Pack Your Bags Collection.

This week Simon Says Stamp has an ANYTHING GOES !!! Wednesday Challenge so I'm heading over there to link up as well.
