ODBD February Challenge - Fruit

The folks at Our Daily Bread Designs offer up a challenge to the OWH cardmakers each month.  There are 2 random draw prizes from ODBD and the prize for OWH is having 2 boxes' shipping cost paid for during that month if 50 cardmakers respond to the challenge.  Here is mine for this month.  The pears were cut with the Cricut (getting warmed up for their challenge), the yellow one being slightly popped and who would think that "using up" something could be exciting? 
 

I used up the last of the black and silver ribbon and the last of the silver sentiment stickers.  YAY!  The goal of course for this year is to USE IT UP.  No gathering dust, no forgotten and unloved supplies.  And it means more cards for our Heroes!

Celebrating Nature!

Challenge #2 for today is Celebrating Nature! and is being hosted by Stamping With A Mission.  I needed to make a card that showed nature.  I am not very good at stamping and coloring so here is my stretch.  I am lucky in that I have this amazing stamp.  It was colored with pencils and chalk and LOOK!  I used brads! Yay!
