This is my August card for the monthly design team inspiration at Your Scrapbook Place. This month's sponsor is Rick St. Dennis.  I have used his images for several specialty cards.  Although he has some cute images, I especially love his unique images of adults and fantasy creatures.  This month I made a swing card get well card using two of his dragons--Sleeping Dragon and Get Off My Back.  I embossed the castle background. It's a good thing I'm retired because if I were still working, I think I'd be tempted to send cards using the Get Off My Back image to quite a number of folks at work!

 Today I have a couple of additional family and friend cards.  The first is a retirement card for our neighbor who retired July 31 from the Illinois State Police.












The next card is for Elaine's birthday.  I found the idea on Pinterest from a Stampin Up board.  Since I had the stamp set and the paper, I thought it was a good card to try out the envelope fold card featured in a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. The tutorial is great; the card came together very quickly.  Because I was not mailing it, I used a sister printable on the address panel.
