OWH-Mid week throwdown-Miss you
I picked up this cute little fairy stamp and the SU miss you stamp at my St. Vincent dePaul. I think I paid about 50 cents each for them. Trying to use up my DCWV flowered paper. The supply seems endless. I love the simplicity of this card.

Love Ya
I made several of these cards for OWH. Nice summery colors. I have had these strange polka dot Prima flowers for quite awhile and it was time to use them. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

OWH-Midweek throwdown-fall
Loosely based on OWH sketch #73. I used Prima papers put through an embossing folder. I added some distressing ink to the oval paper. The stamp is Inkadinkadoo. I bought it just for OWH cards. It seemed perfect.

OWH-Mid week challege-Fall
This is my version of a masculine fall card. I had my eye on this stamp at St Vincent dePauls for some time. It was pretty big so I hesitated. I finally broke down and spent $4.50 on it. My daughter says the image is a bear and looks like what she saw in Alaska many years ago. I don't know, I just liked it. I stamped the image then colored all of the black area with a Copic marker. I then copied it onto my computer and printed out all of these perfect images. I then filled in the color with Copics. I have 5 of the top card for OWH. The bottom 2 I am using for personal use. I used sewing on the second card. I wanted to do that with all of them but my machine wouldn't cooperate. The bottom card I used a glaze pen on the blue color. It really pops. On the top 2 cards the paper along the top was hand cut with decorative scissors. The paper is specialty paper that has a nice sheen. It was gifted to me from Australia a couple of years ago from a fellow cardmaker. I wanted to do some more cards in different colors but my mojo left the house and the images went in the trash can.
Early Bird
I made a dozen of this card for OWH using various colors of paper on the bottom and different rick rack colors. I had my eye on this stamp at M's for awhile. I bought it using the 50% off coupon. It is by Hampton Arts. They make the small $1 stamps you can buy at M's. This was a $13 one.

OWH-Chocolate anyone?
I used up the last of my chocolates paper on these 6 cards. I wish I could find the paper without it being in a pad. It is from the DCWV snack food pad as is the raspberry paper.

OWH-clipart coming out your ears.
I am tired of looking at these in my cards to upload folder. I am doing them all so I can be done with it. I made several of each of these cards using Provo Craft clipart.
OWH-Mid week throwdown-Love
Here is my card for this week. I love this cheerful paper. I think I was able to get 6 cards from it. Can't really remember. I sent the cards off already and I have slept since since then.
I see I haven't updated the blog for a few days. I don't know where time goes. I had my ureter stent removed today so I am back doing percocet. I am not feeling too sharp. I want to finish up some cards I have been working on. Hope I don't mess them up. lol

OWH-masculine card
I made 2 of these cards with this map. It was more of the strange paper my daughter passed off to me. It was a challenge for sure. The edge around the paper is silver. The card turned out well enough that I may go digging in my stash for more map paper
