More farewell cards... FWF #24

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm so excited, because the kids are FINALLY out of school. Woohoo! Speaking of excitement, did you check out Unity's new website? Don't forget to update your password...they'll email you a big fat promo code!

 

The first card I made was for DaddyDude's colleague, who is heading back to the Windy City (his hometown). I decided to just make it a "wish you well on everything" kind of card, so it covered all of the bases...

 Here's the sketch I used (again), from Viva La Verve sketches..

 

And here's the front of the card...love the Everything Wonderful kit!

 

As well as the inside sentiment (from Bunches of Love Sentiment Kit, February 2014)...

 

Next up is a sympathy card for my older brother's family, since their beloved dog passed away from age old. I know it was especially hard for him to take, since Buddy was his very first pet. Hopefully this card will bring them some comfort. I chose this sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge to showcase the big paw print.

 

 

I've already used this kit (Dogs Leave Pawprints) twice this year - it's perfect for dog lovers. I used the sentiment for the inside (which of course, I forgot to photograph).

I made a third card for Marika's teacher, but completely forgot to take a picture of it! ARGH!

 

Last but not least, I have another yummy recipe to share - "No-Fry Italian 'Fried' Chicken". My youngest loves drumsticks and batter. She loved this new recipe with breaded drumsticks topped off with a tangy honey/vinegar sauce - it's another winner!

And speaking of the youngest kid, here she is - we spent the weekend at the soccer park. I really thought they were going to win their last tournament, but a weekend is a long time and by the end of it all, half the team just didn't have their game on (I think they had gotten so used to winning, they had forgotten what it's like to work for it). It came down to the wire (1-1 tie) and then the team lost during PKs. What a bummer! But, at least they got some hardware to wear home. It's been two years since she started playing club soccer and now, at the ripe old age of 10, she looks seasoned (and no longer frail and dainty).

Thanks for visiting! Don't forget to check things out at Unity and have a great weekend!
