Jenni Bowlin Red/Black Collection and Creative Corner Unite

Good evening - a quick post tonight - I have had this card made all week and forgot to post it.

October is a full month of birthdays for me and maybe everyone will get this card - I love how it turned out.  It is just under a 6 inch square.  I had just gotten this Jenni Bowlen collection and when I saw the challenge at Creative Corner - I knew this paper would work perfectly.  The challenge is numbers.  Well I have numbers. 

Inside the sentiment will say - Happy Birthday - remember it is just a number.

Come back Saturday to see what I made for the Operation Write Home blog hop.  Candy also.

World Card Making Day - October 1, 2011

Lots of great fun going on this week end - October 1 is World Card Making Day - Paper Crafts is having a big blog hop that day and also my personal favorite

Operation Write Home

is also having a blog hop - stop by their card blog - Stars and Stamps on Saturday morning and start clicking.  Lots of great inspiration.



Another Fall card

 I am using a new sentiment stamp from Hero Arts - it is one of three in a set - I have already gotten my use out of the first sentiment "Just Saying Hello" - and I think this one will be a new favorite for Operation Write Home cards.  I love this new patterned paper from Hobby Lobby also. 

Thanks for stopping by.

DCWV and Oldie Moldie Monday

Today is Oldie Moldie Monday so I have this pad from Die Cuts With a View - it is the small pad so the paper size is perfect for making cards.  I did pick up some big sheets of the solid blue, solid green and a stripe to complement the papers in the pad.  I made a total of 5 cards this morning using the pad - I will share the other two later in the week.  I think these will be great cards for Opeation Write Home.  Doesn't that little skunk look like he is ready to give hugs?  The "Big hugs" is a favorite Hero Arts Stamp.  Great sentiment for Operation Write Home.  The other two sentiments are stickers from SRM Stickers. 

Everyone enjoy your day - too bad we have to go back to work.

Heros Arts - Just Saying Hello

Good afternoon - Brewers and Packers play this afternoon - luckily the Packers play "da Bears" at 3 something so can watch the Brewers - or listen to the Brewers play.  I listen to TV lots - how about you - do you sit and watch or do you listen.  I do need to get some housework done also - the sheets are washed - so I need to go make my bed.

Today's card is for Operation Write Home - need to get a box in the mail this week so finishing up fallish cards.  This did start at the sketch on OWH's card blog Stars and Stamps but I took a detour from the sketch.  This sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts and it is fast becoming a favorite for my OWH cards.  Sometimes you just want to say HELLO. 

Oldie Moldie Monday cards are already made - I was on a role - I got five made using the same stack of paper.  I find that is the easiest way for me to make multiple cards is to just grab a grouping of paper and then add some sentiments and embellishments. 

Everyone have a wonderful day.

Fall cards and Operation Write Home card challenges

Sharing a couple more fall cards I made for Operation Write Home - although that Leaf one may stay with me - I think it would be a great fall card for one of my children.  Both of these could be cards for challenges celebrating Operation Write Home's birthday.  Ribbon usage, use of a digital image and the challenge at Michelle's Scrap - Anything Goes.  Since I have already entered the other two challenges - I will enter it at Michelle's.  Thank you Michelle for support OWH. 

The big leaf is painted with distress inks and pearl ex water mixed in.  I love how it turned out.  It looks like it came off the oak trees in my front lawn.  I added some great May Arts ribon and cut apart an SRM sticker for the sentiment.

The digital image - I believe - was designed by one of the OWH crew - but I don't have notes on the image - I will run into it again so I will know.  I love the leaf brad I had in supplies - perfect finishing touch for that empty corner. 

This paper is more of the fall pad I got last night at Hobby Lobby.  Love that they are adding more paper collections in their supplies. 

Have a wonderful evening.

Gel-a-Tins Operation Write Home Challenge

gel-a-tin (sorry I don't have the special markings in your name) is sponsoring a sketch challenge for Operation Write Home.  It is wonderful when OWH gets support from the companies in the business we so happily support.  It is a fun sketch.  I just wanted a general fall card.  Tonight I went to Hobby Lobby - had a cold this week - so have not been out anywhere - well they had paper 50% off so I had to buy a few pieces and some pads - shame on me.  But isn't this lovely fall paper and it is a very nice weight also.  It is Hobby Lobby's brand also.  Like I needed more paper but a girl has to feed her addiction.

The sentiment stamp is a $1 stamp from Michael's - a good sentiment for OWH cards.  The leaf stamp is an old Hero Arts.

Everyone have a wonderful evening - come back tomorrow to see the other two cards I made with the same papers.
