Throw back the lemons

This card uses the current sketch challenge #116 on Operation Write Home. I had enough of the lemon paper to make 5 cards. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

Another card using my food papers. Sometimes I just plain enjoy working with them. These gummy bears are so colorful I thought the paper made a nice hot summer card. The sentiment here is another one from Create With TLC. I made 6 of these cards so I put 1 in my stash, the rest for the  Operation Write Home box.

Just for you

 I used a Bugaboo digi image for this card. Love their images

Our Daily Bread Designs challenge

For these cards I used a La Blanche stamp and colored with Copics. I stamped the image on a pale blue printed cardstock.

I'm wild about you

I made several of these for my OWH box. I had older boys in mind. I used REALLY old animal papers. The sentiment is a digi from Create with TLC

Robot Love

I made half a dozen of these cards. Five will go in the OWH box and one in my personal box.

Turtley Awesome

The precolored turtle digi and the sentiment are both from Create with TLC. I did 2 or 3 coats of colored glaze pens on the flowers to make the color pop. I have had the turtle digi for months and just never used it. I made 3 cards for the OWH box and one for my personal stash.

C is for Cookie

Messing around with some cookie paper. The animal cookie paper is older than the hills. I made a few of these for the OWH box. I thought a child would enjoy receiving it. The sentiment is from Create With TLC. I used crystal lacquer in a couple of different colors on the cookie sprinkles and the letter C. I popped up the sprinkle cookie for some dimension.

 Stay tuned for cards made with older than the hills animal prints. Oh my.

Addicted

This sentiment is a digi from Creating With TLC. I love my coffee. I drink a 12 cup pot a day. I have not been in the mood to color with Copics so I have been doing some basic cards. I made 4 of these. I put  3 copper colored Pearl Pen drops along the top edge of  the other cards. I am scanning this and the drops aren't dry on the other cards yet. I like blue and brown together and I thought this card would be good for either gender to receive

I have had a cold all week. I can't believe it. I had a cold on the cruise the first week in February and here I have another one. Funny thing is I have had a painful hand again like I did just before the cruise. I blamed that on holding my iPad. Had to take prednisone to heal it. This time I think it was from holding my 19 pound grandson on my knees facing me so I could play with him. He is a little over 4 months old and needed a lot of support. I have to blame it on something! You get to be 70 and the arthritis starts to kick in. The good thing is, it is in my left hand and I am right handed.

Okay, it is midnight and I am off to bed.

For The OWH color challenge

I chose yellow and green when Jan asked me for a sample card. I colored the butterfly with Copic markers

Under the sea

Using up some more papers from a pad. I used 3 octopus backgrounds and 2 with the pink octopus. For the first card I stamped the octopus on paper and cut out. I colored him in a few places and added some green Crystal Lacquer to his eyes and legs. The starfish stamp is from the same set of stamps. I also put lacquer on him. The feeling fishy sentiment is also from the same Recollections acrylic pack. The hello sentiment and the fish are from different sets.
