Summer Fun

The monthly challenge on SRM Challenge blog is summer fun.  I struggled with this because I had made a wedding card and I finally decided "weddings are summer fun" - I sure had a good time at this wedding.

My grandson got married and his family are such dog lovers that I thought it very appropriate to break out this Whipper Snapper stamp to make my wedding card.

I used two SRM Stickers on the card.  The colors for the wedding were red and black.

Thanks for stopping by.

Oldie Moldie Monday

Only one card for Oldie Moldie Monday.  I have been trying to catch up on birthday cards and things around the house.

This card will go in my next Operation Write Home box.

Enjoy your Monday.

Freshly Made Sketches

I loved the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  I do have problems with keeping it fairly simple - my middle name is not simple - I believe it is layers.  I did make two cards from the sketch.

I will share the card I made for Christmas.  I think it will go in my Operation Write Home box.  I just let the paper do the talking on the entire card.  No stamp was inked for this card.

The paper is from Glitz.

Everyone enjoy their Sunday.  I am going to go to a huge flea market today - should be interesting.

Everyone Loves Snoopy

This week on CAS(E) This Sketch it was a very simple sketch - but then - CASE is very simple.  You just have to make an impact with what you do on a CASE card.

When I designed my card, I took the design very literally.  I did add some SRM stitch stickers to add a little extra to the card.  I keep thinking I need more.  "Walk away from the card".  The paper is from American Crafts - a Dear Lizzy collection.  I love the ombre look of the paper.  Who does not like Snoopy?  This card and the other two which are very similar will go in my next Operation Write Home box.  They will bring a smile to someone's face.

Enjoy your Saturday.

Friday With Unity and Addicted to CAS

I am trying to use my Unity stamps on Friday.  Hopefully I can keep this up.  I do pretty good with my Oldie Moldie Monday posts - I hardly miss a Monday using my old supplies.

When I saw the challenge at Addicted to CAS - Sun; I remembered a Unity stamp I had and that began the creative journey to make these two cards.

In my head the bottom card was going to be fantastic but I never could get it to fantastic.  I had this wonderful background paper I had made in yellows and oranges.  I really have no idea how I made it since it has been hanging out for awhile.

Both cards will go in my next Operation Write Home box.

Enjoy your Friday.

Friday Mashup Word Bubble

The weekly challenge on Friday Mashup always has three options with it:.  This week it is color, word bubble, or color and word bubble combined.  I seem to always forget the second part of the challenge.

My Silhouette Cameo can cut so many different shapes and I love all the different word bubbles I can but.  I found this design.  I had to size it down so it would fit on an A2 card.  My card is slightly smaller than 4.25 inches.  The white and purple are both recycled cardstock from commencement programs.  I have lots of this paper - especially the white so I make my own white cardbases all the time.  I stamped a couple sentiments to pop on top of the word bubble.  I cut out a couple little hearts to add around the sentiments.

This card will go in my next Operation Write Home box.

Wanna Sketch, Oldie Moldie Monday, Basic Grey

It is once again Oldie Moldie Monday - time to show some love to your old supplies.  I have been working on cards using the same 6 x 6 pad from Basic Grey over the last couple weeks.  This week I made a couple cards for Operation Write Home and a card for my own supply.

I based the card for my own use on the sketch from Wanna Sketch.  It is the first time I have played along on this sketch challenge.  Here is the sketch.

Actually not only is this oldie moldie paper, the flowers have been around for a couple years and I have had this sentiment stamp - from a set from Technique Tuesday for years.  I really like the set.  Great for my use and also for Operation Write Home cards.

Here are some simple cards for Operation Write Home.  Some Hero will be able to send this home to their kids.

Everyone have a great Monday.  Just think we are four days away from Friday.
