Anything but a holiday card!

Hello. I had a Snowflake card all ready to use in this challenge... with a fun technique. But... realizing that people are busy right now and might not have time to enjoy spending time on anything not absolutely necessary, I decided to save that for later.
Instead, the challenge is to share a card that you make (or recently made) for a non-holiday related event.
Mine was a masculine card made for my father-in-law. Gene celebrated his 98th birthday last week. Yes... 98! He used to raise Arabian Horses... so I knew that he'd like this card. And, he did! Can't wait to see your creations!

That's a wonderful card, Kathy! The burlap really gives it that extra punch.

I'm glad to see this challenge. After spending all of my time making Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas cards I am eager to make "every day" cards. I bought this dye recently and couldn't wait to use it. Linda Jo came over last Friday and we gave it a try. This is a sympathy card; the inside says Comfort. Now I need to replenish my supply of birthday cards!

What a nice challenge, Kathy! Love your card, too.

Ellie, that is really pretty!

Oooo!! I have one I made over the weekend while at GlitterBug's house for Thanksgiving (the only time I've had to play lately). I'll try to get a picture of it when I get home from work!

Ohhhh Kathy, you beat me to it....I have a challenge on the 8th of December and that was going to be my challenge...Anything Goes"....
Back to the drawing board to think of another challenge...

But I do like this too!!

Kathy, terrific challenge and I love your card! Very manly and great panache!

Ellie, beautiful card! I love that die cut!

Ellie, what a great card. That die is perfect for a Sympathy card.

These are the invites to Katrina's 10th birthday dinner.

Wow Trudi, your invitation cards are very pretty....
nice touch with the purple bow and flower...well done

Terrie, I'm thinking you could do an Anything Goes challenge on the 8th. We all have other cards/items to stamp this time of the year! (Or, at least I do!)
Trudi, your BDay invitations are lovely. That touch of rich purple really pops!
