Christmas in March

How about a few Christmas cards for the box to be sent out at the end of the summer.  That is a die cut backing to a Cricut cut snowflake with a vellum snowflake sticker and some bling. 

This is my first card made with (what do you call those?) banners/flags.  I like the shiny gold band for a little holiday sparkle.

Masculine Thinking of You

I know there is always a shortage of masculine cards and with Father's Day coming I thought that these could be "Dad" cards or birthday cards.  The antique motorcycle image is a free digi from Digital Two for Tuesday.

This second one is kind of like a Tux with the shiny black lapels.  I am so please to be able to stamp the sentiment directly onto the base without making a bunch of mistakes.  Whew!  I made a few of each card for the OWH box.

Oldie Moldie Monday

I am so pleased with this Oldie.  I found this die cut in one of those boxes with misc embellishments in it.  It is from Imaginations.  And the pink paper is pretty old too and I have no idea who the maker is.  Just a little bit of bling and the white ribbon to mimic what might be her laces.  I lined the inside edge of the card with the matching paper to show off the scalloped lace on the front.  This one is headed for the OWH box!

OWH Sketch Challenge #163

I am on time! The link for the sketch is here.  Isn't it funny how when you look at a sketch it can go one of two ways?  1: Yes!  I can do that!  Or 2: hmmm? Got to work on this idea.....  I realize the Yes! moments can been few and far between so I am excited to post this within 24 hours of it going up on the OWH blog.  Oh, and yes, got to get started on some of those Dad cards too.  :)

ODBD March Challenge - Scallops

Our Daily Bread Designs challenge for March is to use scallops.  When I made this card I didn't have anything scallopy.  I thought this frame looked scallop-ish.

Midweek Throwdown - Tic Tac Toe

Here is the link to this week's MWT at OWH Stars and Stamps blog.  My card for the tic-tac-toe includes embossing, blue and ribbon.  I made these during the week while waiting.  I apologize if they are not the best I have done but,

it has been a tough 2 weeks as it was decided by my baby sister that she was too worn out to continue any further treatments in her 5 year long battle against breast cancer.  Yesterday afternoon she went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  She was the person I learned scrapbooking with which eventually lead to my cardmaking.  She was a contributor to OWH as she believed strongly in what we are doing.  She was always upbeat and cheerful right to the end.  I love her dearly!

From the Heart - OWH Sketch #91

I was going through my "to be posted file" and found this one!  It looks like I never posted it.  I know I don't always do the sketches on time or in order so this one is no different.  I liked this sketch and had made about 20 of these and actually cut out more panels from other papers for future cards.  (Those must be for days when my mo-jo really gets stuck!)  This stamp is JRL Designs.

Birthday Tags

And now, in the category of "No-new-papers-were-harmed" we have the Birthday Tags!  These were scrap fronts that I finished off. 

 

 The swirly things were cut on the Cricut and the pink ribbon is a yummy velvet.
