Love-A valentine for Operation Wrte Home

Trying to make a valentine suitable for a guy. Not so sure it worked. At least it isn't super feminine. I think it will work nicely for a teenage girl. I am going to link this card to Our Daily Bread Designs. They are providing shipping for an  OWH box for each 25 cards linked. The November challenge is for love and valentines.

Love-xoxo

You know how sometimes you fall in love with paper and then don't know what to do with it when you get it home? Such was the case with these peacock papers in the DCWV Royal Garden small pad. I turned the 3 sheets of the same design into love cards for OWH. I matted the papers with Bazzill Lime Crush. The large heart is from the peacock line of papers. The smaller heart was made with some glossy cardstock I colored with alcohol inks. The words were stamped with black Stazon

OWH- midweek showdown- any occasion

The image on this card is Moonlit Fairy by Rubber Stampede. I stamped it on the paper and then stamped again on yellow paper for the moon. I cut out the moon and lined it up in the correct place. The throwdown asked for a card with no sentiment. The top card works but I prefer the bottom card.

Birthday card

I made this card for my granddaughter Charmaine. I used Bo Bunny papers. I stamped the bird on the blue, painted parts with Twinkling H2Os and cut it out. I added Swarovski crystal bling to the tail. I found this image a little puzzling as the head is facing in a strange direction when you look at the tail. I just kind of guessed at how to arrange it on the card. This will go in the mail Monday. She will be 27 years old in a few days. I miss her and her kids. I wish she still lived in Eugene.

OWH-Thank you times 6

Thank you cards were needed so I made six of them. My mojo was working

Cuppa time

This cup image is called " Teacups Dancing " by Stamp In The Hand. The stamp is one I picked up at St. Vincent DePaul for $3.60. I have been looking at if for months. It was calling to me so I gave in. It was 1 of 2 stamps that I bought and I hate to say it, I was weak.  I broke my spending freeze that I put in place in September. I have been good though. I have spent only about $7 on craft stuff in the last 2 months except for basic supplies. I colored some of the images but I liked this monochromatic look the best. I made 4 of these cards, 3 of which will go to OWH. The other one I will put in my personal stash

Birthday Wishes.

I made several of these cards for OWH. I embossed the gift on glossy paper. The background paper is from a DCWV pad. It has the embossed sparkles. I went over the sentiment with a Gelly Roll glossy pen. It is just about empty and I can't seem to find another one.

BOO!

I have been a slacker this year. Just couldn't get the mojo for Halloween cards. This is 1 of only 2 cards I made.

Family and friends

The first card I made for a niece that is expecting her second child very soon. It is a Dolly Mamma stamp image. The fall card was sent to my longtime online friend Debby in Israel. The bling is Swarovski crystals. Both cards were colored with Copic markers

Misc. cards

Some more cards with the image cut in such a way that a sentiment could be stamped.

My sister has been here for a week and I am getting nothing done.
