OTWC-Challenge #50

Well I really worked hard on this challenge. I knew I wanted to use the bird stamp I had recently purchased. I decided to stamp it on different papers and paper piece it together. The background paper is from K&Company. The actual size of this card is 5"x7", so it will not be going to OWH. I had offered to make a batch of cards for a local fundraiser. I was planning on making at least 20-30 and put them in the greeting card holder I had purchased from my most favorite dollar store to put them all in.

OWH-MWT K-9 Challenge

I almost missed the challenge with being so busy at work and a lot of stuff on my mind. I love dogs, even though I only own one and she is a sweetie. Sorry, I could not resist sharing a picture with you. Shivers is a vizsla, a breed that almost died out until WWII; soldiers fell in love with their sweet nature and brought them to the US.

The first card is one I had already made for OWH but had not shared. That first Saturday Seminar gave me some great ideas for how to make small stickers work. They are great for kids cards.

The second card I made specifically for this challenge. It is pretty simple, not alot of layers. The paper was already "quilted"; part of "Just Chillin" by Making Memories. Got really lucky and scored 2 of these packs of 36 designer papers for just a dollar. I do not usually put the sentiment in the upper right corner, but it the dog points that way so it works that way. Great to break out once in a while!

OWH Sketch Challenge #62--Special Edition

Happy Birthday Sandy! Three sketches=Three cards. Almost an aerobic workout on a Sunday Morning. Most papers are from K&Company "Hopscotch". All cards are designed for a young man. I did use one of Frantoonies as the focal point on the sketch #62 card. I have no Copics in my stash and do not color much. The sketch is designed to use a large Frantoonie and due to lack of coloring skills, I decided to go small. I did manage to review Seminar #2 on Texture and Dimension. Picked up some more great tips. Now I can't wait to see the video that goes along with it.

Picture Frame Redo

I made this frame in February for Clete to celebrate his 84th Birthday! He really doesn't look that old, especially for what he has been though. I kept it very simple so the names would be the focal point. The black rub-ons embellishments were just enough to finish it.

OWH Cards 4 Kids MWT Challenge

The challenge this week is Cards 4 Kids! We challenge you to make cards for our heroes to send home to their kids, they can be any occasion, birthday, etc.

I am starting to think I must be just a wee bit psychic (or is it psychotic) because I have been working on some cards for kids to mail out to my shipper. I had bought some Cinderella stickers and some floral paper that went great together. Those cards I had already made last week. I also purchased a set of Cars motion stickers that I thought would be great for boys. I had wished that I had matted the sticker with black paper, so I had to improvise by drawing a black box. It is not perfect but I like the look.

Now for two of Cinderella cards! Ta-dah!!!

OTWC Challenge # 49

I made two cards for this challenge, partly because I could not chose which way to go. The first card is made from "inchies". I really like the playful mix of patterns.

The second card I wanted to keep clean and simple to let the ribbon be part of the focal point. How lucky to have ribbon that would go great with Wilson Designs gnome stamp set. How unlucky of me not to have that very same stamp set. Uhmm, how can I fix that?...

OWH Sketch Challenge #61

Clean and Simple! I was lucky to score the Actopus to Zelephant chipboard set from K&Company at a local dollar store. I bought 2 sets and plan to use one just for OWH cards. Gotta love anything with animals!

I like that this card can be utilized for a variety of occasions. After all, what does "Woof!" really mean?
