Oldie Moldie Monday

Oldie Moldie Monday - time to show some love to your old paper.  I have had this pad of paper from 3 Bugs in a Rug for quite some time.  I love the colors but some of the papers didn't seem to work too well so I decided to make them the focal point of the card.  They will be some great kid cards for my next Operation Write Home box.  The top card is for a little boy and the second card is for a little girl.  Different colors and just a little different layout.

By keeping the sentiment general - not related to Easter - the cards can be sent as cute cards.  

Christmas in July

Oldie Moldie Monday - time to show some love to some old supplies.  This pink, blue and black paper grouping is from 3 Bugs in a Rug.  The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

A funny thing happened when I was cutting out the last image - my spellbinder circle moved - and I ended up with the penguin clear on one side of the circle - I was on the verge of throwing it in the garbage with a few swear words helping the process but I decided to try and save it . I think it turned out cute by putting the penguin on the very edge of the circle.  Love it when a creative accident works out.

The midweek challenge on Stars and Stamps is Christmas and luckily my oldie moldie Monday cards meet this challenge.  Have not done a midweek challenge in ages.  I have been doing lots of other things - cleaning out cupboards, some multi media, and lots of nothing.

Everyone enjoy your Monday.

Good Sunday evening - the week end comes to an end - the adjustment to the daylight savings time begins - so hopefully I can get to sleep tonight - I do want to be up and out of the house early so I can get some extra time in the office. A very busy week of work. I hope to make it to the next week end.

I finally got some mo jo going at the end of the afternoon because this is the card I needed for tomorrow. The recipient is a dog lover and this is a card for a girl and her favorite colors are blue and green. I hope this looks a little girly not too boyish. I know she will like it no matter.

I based the design of the card on the sketch from The Sweet Stop. I love layers and this worked perfectly for me. One of the pieces of paper in this grouping from 3 Bugs in a Rug - had pennants on it so that is where the idea came for the pennants in the corner. Even though pennants are the rage - this is the first time I have used them on a card. Add some ribbon, pop dots and a little bling and sentiment and you have a birthday card.

Everyone have a wonderful end of your week end. Come back tomorrow night to see what oldie moldie papers I dug out of my supplies. It is very bright and cheerful.
