The second card for Monday's post

Blogger would not let me upload this card with the previous post.  The image and sentiment - I believe - were sent to me in an image swap.

Carry on - back to your evening fun.

Oldie Moldie Monday

Well goodness - Blogger has issues tonight - tried to upload two cards - didn't like this one the first time but liked the other one - but now all I got was this one - I made 4 of this card for Operation Write Home.  Monday is Oldie Moldie Monday at my house - I have a thing for patterned paper - so I make sure for Monday I show some love to older  paper.  I just grabbed a plastic bin (12 x 12) in my supplies and said I was going to make my cards for today - luckily it had some paper in it - in fact it was mostly Christmas/Winter paper so I think I can create for quite a few weeks - I still like all the paper in the bin. 

I embossed the image and sentiment with Versamark and white embossing powder.  I love lavendar for winter cards.  I added the pink for a punch of color - there is actually pink in the striped paper underneath. 

Everyone have a great evening - and dig out some of that once loved paper and create something wonderful.

We R Memory Keepers and Stampendous Unite

I have been making cards using We R Memory Keepers paper.  I found this grouping on my shelf - the colors are very soft.  I have had this particular method in my brain for awhile to try - the stamped image is behind the cutout.  The diecut was cut out of the center of the top paper and then pop dotted over the stamped image. 

The image is by Stampendous which I embossed using Versamark and white embossing powder.  I added some bling to the center of the flowers - hopefully I did not go overboard with my bling.  I had made a bow out of the ribbon but did not like it on the card so I removed it and then added the flower on the left side.  Adding a sticker from SRM tops off the card perfectly. 

Hot and muggy in Wisconsin - worked outside this morning to finish mowing my lawn and trimmed some branches off some trees.  Before it got too hot - I had a pork tenderloin thawed - so put that on the grill - it tastes very good.  One of the neighbor children just showed up at my front door with a cupcake - yummy - I think it must be time for an afternoon snack.

Remember to come back tomorrow for Oldie Moldie Monday and see the cards I made for Operation Write Home - think Snowman. 

More We R Memory Keepers

Good morning - I could have posted these yesterday but I was feeling lazy.  Of course - I did end up at the dentist and had to have a crown - money flying out the window.  I was lucky the dentist was able to work me in and get my tooth fixed before the week end. 

I have been working on more cards out of paper from We R Memory Keepers - I keep finding more paper - I found another grouping last night so I want to make a card out of that paper before I send the box on its way - I do want to put it in the mail today so need to get myself in gear.  I also need to mow - or start mowing my lawn - 9 is a polite time on the week end to start mowing - it is suppose to be very hot here today again so want to get started before it is too bad outside.

Of course my cards are for Operation Write Home - I love it when the paper does the card for you - you don't need to do any stamping or coloring - everying is done by the paper and it's embellishments - add a sentiment and you have a fun card.  I am sure the cards will make some heroes family or friends smile when they receive them.

Everyone have a wonderful day.

Non traditional Holiday colors

Good evening - another card using a grouping from We R Memory Keepers - very non traditional colors for a winter/holiday card but I really like how it turned out.   I have had this stamp for years but they are so cute.  Makes you want to put them in the freezer and keep them all year around.  I wonder if they would like this hot weather we have been having in the midwest.   This card is for Operation Write Home.

Everyone have a wonderful evening - I do hope my dentist is in tomorrow - I think I lost part of a filling or tooth - I had some work done last week - I wonder if that was the tooth.

We R Memory Keepers and Hero Arts Unite

Good evening - when it is hot - make snowman cards - try to feel cooler - I do believe it is the AC that is actually making me feel cooler - of course - when the electric bill comes - I won't feel so cool.

The card I am sharing - is somewhat of a challenge I gave myself - I said I could make a winter card out of this particular grouping of paper from We R Memory Keepers.  I actually made two - come back tomorrow night and see the other one.

We R Memory Keepers is sponsoring the drive for cards for Operation Write Home so dug through my supplies to find any of their paper I had to make some cards to send off to them. 

Have a wonderful evening.  Off to make a few more cards - want to get a box sent off this week yet to them.

We R Memory Keepers and Whipper Snapper Stamps Unite

What do you get when you put together a Whipper Snapper stamp and a couple pieces of We R Memory Keepers Paper.  You get cute - well I think it is cute.  I know it will bring smiles to a soldier who has access to Operation Write Home cards and sends it home to a loved one.

Tonight - I told someone I could make a holiday card out of this very non holiday paper - so that is my assignment for tonight - if I accept it.  Come back tomorrow to check it out and see if I accomplished my chosen assignment.
