Ian, here, from A Newbie Crafter. Today, I have an end of the year/goodbye card for one of my RAs. I'll be posting one card a day on my blog to show all 13 cards. You may or may not know this, but I am an Area Coordinator (Residence Hall Director) at a small private college in New York. We are on a 3-year "contract", and this marks my 3rd year in the position. I am officially done June 30, but could potentially leave earlier, depending if I have a job yet. No bites yet, so time will tell.
Anyway, I wanted to give my RAs something as a going away gift. I made a card for each one of them and wrote a small note to each of them. I hope they all enjoy them. For the sake of surprise, some of my RAs know of my blog so I won't be posting this on there until Friday. I'm giving them their card on Thursday night.
Here's the first card in the installment. I discovered and fell in love with Your Next Stamp stamps. They have a plethora of cute images and I want them all. Seriously. Anyway, here are the pictures. I chose Ethan out on the Pond, for my RA Mathew. When I saw this image, I immediately pictured him in this same scenario and started giggling to myself. Mathew is a funny guy.
I will be honest, I did not write down any of the Copic markers that I used. This was my first time using them, and as you can tell, I need to take a class. Here's hoping I can take one this summer! I also used a sentiment from one of the Stamp of the Months and the Dotty for You paper pack, both from Close To My Heart.
Don't be too harsh. :)
Craft on,
Ian
