Muse 20 - Thank you!


I had some graphic fun with this week's Muse by Laurie Willison:



Have I mentioned how amazing I think Laurie is? I recently trawled through her blog and pinned  some  most of her cards for future inspiration.

I'm still in full thank you mode -  over the last couple of weeks, I've made 40 cards for an order from a teacher at school (I'll show you some of my favourites tomorrow). I delivered them yesterday and still have an empty bin!

And I've got a bunch of thank yous to write after my big birthday bash last week! I love it when I can justify spending more time in my craft room, don't you?

I focused on the pretty colours Laurie used. I simplified my shapes and punched up the yellow and orange a bit.

I hope you'll get a chance to play along with us this week! But even if you can't play, you can still vote for your favourite on Saturday, starting at noon EDT.

Thanks to Jenny to reminded me that this week's Addicted to CAS challenge is circles. I'm linking this up there as well.

  3. Oh so graphic - fabulous. And I agree on Laurie - she is amazing at design. I'd love to hear how you got your "business" going? Do you change your style for your orders or do the people just love your style (I suspect the latter ;)

  8. The OBD 2007 application interface is particularly properly structured.
    The corporation has two automotive diagnostic program applications and
    one insert on capabilities package deal.

  14. Ardyth, there is no other who can take simple circles and turn them into an amazingly delightful graphic card, resplendent in such fabulous colors! I LOVE how you tucked the sentiment along the side of the center circle!

    Do you ever say "no" to card orders? Didn't think so :)

  18. Oh those colors were all made for each other!! So striking! Smart to have a white sentiment, and bleeding to the edge of the circle.

    Laurie is amazing, isn't she? You both have very similar styles.
