More Iguana Love

Another card for my next Operation Write Home box.  Who wouldn't be happy to get this card?

Happy Friday.

First Valentine Day's Card

This card had a ways to travel so I got it made and off in the mail early.  The paper is from Recollections, Michael's brand.  The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs - a Wisconsin stamp company.

Hope you are having a good week.  It has warmed up here but we are predicted to have snow today.  I am getting work under control and feel some of the heaviness lifting off of me.

Enjoy your Thursday.

Hugs

A card I made for a friend who had some bad news.  I hope it brings a smile to her face.  The stamp is from Stampendous and the paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.

Blogger seems to like to load pictures now.

Sketch Saturday

I found a new sketch site - Sketch Saturday - it was a fun sketch.  I made a rectangle card instead of a square.  The image was already colored in my huge box of images.

I would upload the sketch for you but blogger is taking forever to upload for me - so no sketch for you to see - pop over to their site and check them out.

Not much to say - it is cold and I am getting sick of it.  Everyone have a good day.

Oldie Moldie Monday

I continued to use the same paper as last Monday.  I have not put what is left away.  I don't want to see it anymore but I think I made some nice cards for my next Operation Write Home box.

And unfortunately, since blogger is not playing nice tonight, you are only going to get 2 cards.  The other three will be posted later in the week.

Remember to show some love to your old supplies.  See they can make great cards.

Day 16 - Working Off Your Design Table

I was lucky enough to find this piece of background that I had made last summer in a basket on one of my tables.  I am not really sure how I made it - no - I am not sure what I used for the color - I know it was a piece that I put salt on to draw off the color.  Would you believe the stamp set was also in the basket.  It was my lucky day.

The card was based on the sketch from CASe This Sketch.

It also is for the challenge on the Penny Black blog - Sending Hugs Challenge.  How lucky that the stamp set in that box was a Penny Black floral design.  This card is going to a friend to give her a hug - she is starting her battle with cancer.  The flower has Stardust ink added to all it's petals so that the actual bloom sparkles.  I added the little touches of bling at the end of each stamen.  A sentiment sticker from SRM Stickers finishes off the card.  The image and sentiment were each pop dotted.

Now I want to make more background paper.  I wonder if I can duplicate it.

I am also entering in CAS-ual Friday's challenge - Color Block.

Paper Smooches Spark Challenge - Anything Goes

This week's challenge on the Paper Smooches Spark challenge blog is Anything Goes -

I got a new Paper Smooches stamp set - it is one of their older ones - but I know I will get lots of use out of it.  I do want to make this same card in pink and brown for a little girl.  This card is going to go to a local boy - only 5 years old - who is fighting cancer.  Someone local has started a card drive for him so that he gets mail - something to look forward to and to bring a bright spot to his day.  I have decided I need to do more things locally and with friends with my cards this year.

I think this card will make Colin smile.

You can find more Paper Smooches stamps here.  Isn't it great to support a US company.
