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

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.

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.
