TODAY'S CREATIONS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!

Today I did 2 cards.  The first is for my wonderful Pastor, Barbara Auer of Kingswood United Methodist Church in Newark, DE.  

I used sketch #177 from Sunday Sketch and Stamp, and the color palette PPA174-A from Pals Paper Arts.

and then you also needed to create an altered item.  This is going to be part of the desk set I am creating for Michael for his birthday.  It started out being a clear acrylic napkin holder.  It is now a file folder holder:

I hope that you have enjoyed viewing all of my creations.  I hope to be back later with a few more.  Have a great day!
