Old paper rules!

This line of Deja Views paper was made in 2006.  I have had it since my first card making days. I loved it then, I love it now. I made 19 cards for my last OWH box. I still have more of this paper. Bought before I came to realize that 1 sheet of each paper is plenty. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought so much. It wasn't like I was mass producing cards way back then.

For My Sweetheart

Operation Write Home midweek throw down is for love cards. Here are mine. The heart on the first card is shiny silver. This is my masculine card. The swirl on the second is glossy card stock. The built in swirls on the last card are elegant shiny gold. The sentiment is hiding the Eifel tower laying on it's side. I bought a few of this sheet of paper on the cheap because I knew I could disguise it. The first 2 cards were made with leftovers from who knows when.

Hot air balloons

I picked up this 1995 PSX balloon stamp for $1 this summer at a yard type sale at my LSS. It was a lot of fun to color. Both cards are going out in my OWH box today. I think I need to buy the Hero Arts balloon set. I really like it.

OWH Christmas cards

A few cards made from a sheet of pretty embossed paper I bought last year. Quick and simple. I have a hard time making Christmas cards, especially in September.

Using some of my favorite Bo Bunny patriotic paper

More snow cards

The first 2 cards were made with stickers. The last card is just a strip of snowman paper. His hats are glossy. The snowflake background is done with white glossy paper. It is really quite pretty. I made several cards with this sheet of paper.

OWH midweek throwdown-Stickers

I created these cards using some Penny Black stickers I have had for at least a couple of years. The snowflake stickers and the snowman are all separate stickers. I put them on the card stock and then cut with Nestabilites. I made sure some of the snowflake was to be chopped off when cut. The sentiment is computer generated

The challenge is a color challenge to use red & green. I know they were looking for Christmas. Tee hee. I am not ready to make holiday cards. These candy papers are older than the hills.

Young Love

Messing around with a stamp that I think I bought a couple of months ago at a garage sale at my LSS. A couple of cards blinged out for the ladies and the first one I thought could be masculine.

Quick thank you cards

Sandy said she was in need of some thank you cards. I made 7 with the red flowers, 5 with an assortment of turquoise flowers and 6 with the bottom card. Guess I'll check out some sketches and see what I can do. Enough with the embossing folders. Sanding the color off is messy. I even used a vacuum on the card fronts. Worked pretty good too.
