Birthday Card: Brainiac Brian

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

Brian is who we call our "smart" friend who graduated from MIT, 

and all of us agree that him being a brainiac is a curse.  

The man always has too much going on in his head, 

and therefore constantly has headaches. 

He says his doctor can't figure out what's wrong with him, 

but I think we all have the right diagnosis... he is too smart for his own good.

drew brian's head, well, top of his head. 
can you feel the intensity?

 

here's to hoping you give your brain a break on your birthday!  
letting some steam off his head, so to speak.

brian's eyeballs, well, just the iris to be exact, 

were made with felt.

YOO original is brian

Thank You!: White-Tooth-Mofo (an Inside Joke)

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

I am lucky enough to have close friends who are dentists, 

who take very good care of my dental hygiene, 

all at a bargain price... meaning, at no charge. 

I recently had crown work done by one of them, Tony, or Dr. Tony, I should say. 

He was the one who worked on a filling for the same tooth when he was a student, 

and 13 years later, it only made sense for him to finish the job. 

I did not want his efforts to go unnoticed, 

so I made this fun card to thank him 

and to let him know I don't take his work for granted.

thanks.

Birthday Card: Have a Drillin' Day!

A personal touch is always appreciated!

For some strange reason, I have a lot of dentist friends,
and this one was made for the newest dentist in the bunch, Jason.
This fabric reminded me of the color of a mask,
so I started from there and built it into a card.

happy birthday doc!





have a drillin' day!

Birthday Card: Lil' Birdie Told Me ...

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

One of the cutest card creations can also be the easiest,
with just a couple of the crazy eyes and leftover ribbons.
Not sure if 'crazy eyes' is what they are actually called,
but that's what I like to call them since the eyeballs tend to roll around everywhere.
On this card, I decided to go with a little birdie wearing a giant red bow.

My colorful cardstock and envelope came in handy again!
50 cards and 50 envelopes for $9.99 at target!
That's 20 cents per set!

lil' birdie told me... it's your birthday!

Thinking of You: Get Well Soon!

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

So when I heard my best friend's whole family got sick, 
I had to send them a little something to put a smile on their faces!

I hear you've been feeling under the weather...

 

hope this makes you feel better!
