I miss you.




I used a sheet of paper with hearts that I chopped up. Stamped the sentiment. I managed to use up 6 sheets of Basic Grey Kioshi paper from the small pad. Had to chop into a big sheet to do the card with 3 hearts. It wasn't easy even with all my paper to find colors that worked. These cards will go in my OWH box

More Mothers Day



For this card I used a tag I have had for a long time. I used a Cuttlebug alphabet set for the Mom. I was afraid the tag would have a problem adhering to the fibers so I fastened it with the heart brads.


I used a Penny Black sticker for this. This is it. I am sick of Mothers Day cards. I have 24 plus another 32 misc. for the OWH box.

Tomorrow my Gold Beach grandkids will make the 200 mile trip here for a couple of days.

Happy Mothers day



Version #2



Version #3. This has delicate white ruffle lace across the top



Still working on Mothers Day cards for OWH. On the top card I stamped the image, colored just a bit and went over the colored parts and the sentiment with a Glaze pen to make them pop a little. I have 4 of them finished, debating on making some more. I am out of this lace. The bottom image has a computer generated sentiment and I just added a flower. Trying to use up some small pieces of Designer paper so this is a one of a kind.

CAS Mothers Day card



A clean and Simple card. Waaay outside my comfort zone.  lol  This was one stamp and I cut it apart so I could ink up seperately. I stamped the flower twice to get the different colors. I rather like how it turned out. I have 4 like this and I may make some more. It went together pretty fast once I was able to get the computer generated sentiment exactly where I wanted it. If I had been real ambitous I would have used embossing powder. I wasn't

Home is where the heart is


In the paper purge my daughter gave me were some adhesive backed fabric sheets. The adhesive seemed very good so I made up a few cards. The sentiment is from one of The Hero Arts/Operation Write Home packs. These will be for OWH

If a kiss was a raindrop



I love how this turned out. I made 3 for OWH. The card is for the Our Daily Bread Designs challenge. The company contributes the cost of shipping for a box of cards to our troops. Each 25 cards in the challenge they will pay for a box up to 2 boxes. Each month is a different challenge. This month was tic tac toe. I used the first vertical row which was a brad, a die cut and a digi image. My sentiment is a digi image from Create with TLC.  I have the supplies to make 2 more of these cards. I want to put one in my personal box.

How've you bean?




For the coffee bean image I used 3 separate images from Bugaboo Stamps. I merged them in Word and made 1 image. Lot's of fun. I colored with Copics. For the sentiment circle I used a Fiskars stamp. I have a few coffee cup brads so I added one of those for a bit of fun.

In the top image I added a strip of paper under the sentiment. The sentiment circle didn't look right. Kind of like it was floating in space

A Mothers day card



Eight of these for OWH. The black flowers are shiny embossed as part of the paper. I spent what seemed like hours poking the holes out of a dozen of these gold foil doilies. A pretty basic card but has it's charm. Somebodys mother will like it.
