May Cards (long post)

May is a very busy month for me. Last week I sat down and did all the cards I would need this month. . .TEN! It was fun to make my first wedding cards and Mothers' Day cards. I think they turned out pretty good! Most of the paper is from two very large pads you can get at Michael's and probably other places: Totally Girl and Complete Boy by My Mind's Eye. And I am totally in love with clear stamps. They make every project so much easier than using stickers, typing it on the computer, or (worst of all) hand writing it!

Here they are in chronological order. (In case you can't read the stamps I will include captions below the pictures.)

May 6th, My brother Brandon's birthday:
"Age is only a number. Mine is unlisted."

May 7th, Uncle Dwain and my cousin Austin's birthdays:
"You look good for your age, almost human."

May 9th, Mother's Day:

May 11th, My sister Rachel's birthday:
"Just think, with every birthday you're even closer to being more like your parents."

May 15th, My cousin Spencer's wedding reception, my coworker Parveen's wedding, and my cousin Andrea's birthday:

May 25th, Aunt Shannon's birthday:
"You're only young once. You can be immature for a lifetime."

I am definitely improving. By the time Christmas comes around I will be an expert. I love developing my talent by making cards for the people I care about most: my family.
I love you all.

Yeah for clear stamps! I love them too. I just wish they weren't so dang expensive. And our Michaels is crap in that department. And forget the scrapbook store where they mark everything up.
Love your cards! I haven't had to do a wedding one yet, but I'm dying.
