Oldie Moldie Monday

Oldie Moldie Monday - time to show some love to old paper or supplies.  In days of yore I made most of my cards from paper - I was not a stamper - I have changed - but I was looking for some vellum for some challenges and I found this sheet of paper.  All shades of lavender on one sheet along with this beautiful dragonfly.  The sentiments are both from Hero Arts.

Have a wonderful day - dig into you supplies and make something beautiful.  Just think - you may be a much better card maker today than the day you bought those supplies.

Webster's Pages and Merry Monday Challenge

I really think this should be an Oldie Moldie Monday post because I have had this paper for a year or two - but it is not.  It is a card for the Merry Monday challenge on Always Playing With Paper - a sketch challenge for making Christmas cards.

These are quite funky colors - I will have to pick who gets this Christmas card - some people may not appreciate non traditional cards.  The paper is a 6 x 6 pad from Webster's Pages - I have used some of this paper for non Christmas cards also.  The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp that I heat embossed in white.  The card base and other pink is a bling paper.  I don't think it is the Bazzill because it does not have any texture to it.  The gold is Bo Bunny.

Enjoy your day - party in the neighborhood and I need to go dig out some supplies for Amy.

Freshly Made Sketches, Operation Write Home and We R Memory Keepers

Card for Freshly Made Sketches

Operation Write Home - Things that Fly

Good evening - a double share tonight - the top card would have worked for both challenges but I had stamped a couple of the birds so I wanted to used them.  Also I cut the circle and strip on the second card and did not like it with the background paper on the first card - so I reversed the colors - you should use your paper when you have it out.  Someone said they liked to use up their 6 x 6 pads - I just seem to collect them - maybe I should make a goal to use this entire pad up.  Hmmmmmm - I wonder if I could do it.

The first card is based on the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  The second card is for the midweek challenge on Operation Write Home's card blog Stars and Stripes to make a card with things that fly.  My birdie flies.

The paper and stamp are both from We R Memory Keepers.

Enjoy your evening.  

Stampendous and Jillibean Soup

Good evening - a quick share tonight - the June Challenge at Stampendous is to do summer items.  I have all these Stampendous Changito stamps so this gave me a wonderful excuse to use them  I had bought many of these stamps when a friend was battling breast cancer - I sent her a card each week and somehow it was mostly monkeys - the idea was to make Shari smile at least once a week.  Breast cancer took Shari from us but I need to use my stamps to make other people smile.  This card will be for my Operation Write Home box.  I think many people will smile when they see this card.

The paper is from Jillibean Soup - Southern Chicken Dumpling - it is a spring collection - and the colors are so yummy.  I cut the hello with my Silhouette and colored it with Copics - the same colors used on the flower around the face of the monkey.

I hope this card brings a smile to your face.
