Happy Easter

Pattern Play Day 3

I have had this busy paper for ages and never knew what to do with it.  I recently took an on line card
class called pattered play.  One of the things I learned is if you have busy paper, break it up and
it doesn't seem so busy.  I cannot tell you where the paper is from as I have had it forever.
The sentiment is from Hobby Lobby and the punch is from Fiskar's.  The little green embellishments
are from Walmart.  Pretty clean and simple but beautiful too!

Happy Birthday

I needed some fast birthday cards so I got out my Cricut and made some of these for personal
use and some for Operation Write Home.  The flower and the sentiment are from the Wild Card
cartridge.  I ran the flower through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.  The white background
is also ran through the Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls folder.  I chose the red and black color scheme
in honor of my friend Cindy as we have been talking a lot about red and black lately!

Focal Image.

For our Boot Camp this week is focal image.  Here is my take on focal image.
I used textured paper and ran my distress ink pad down the side.  The polka dots
is a ribbon from Hobby Lobby.  The sentiment and flower are stamps from Michael's.
I colored the flower with my distress markers.  I am still learning how to scan my
cards and I am sorry this one is a little crooked.

Powdery Glitter Birthday Cards

These are some birthday cards I made using some really shiny glitter powder.

You put this really strong tape down and then spread the glitter on top.

The tape is so strong that the glitter doesn't come off.

These are for personal use and not for OWH as glitter

is a NO NO for OWH.

I got the glitter and tape at an Adventures in Stamping show in

downtown Akron a couple of years ago.

It makes really pretty cards, but it is messy!!!!

There is a new show for Adventures in Stamping coming to Akron this coming April.

Wonder what new fun stuff I will find there this year?

Monochromatic card

This is my monochromatic card from the OWH Bootcamp.  The image is stamped in black on black paper
and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder.  It is much prettied and classier in person!

Birthday Cards

I needed some birthday cards so I made a feminine version and a masculine version of this card.
The papers are from A Muse, the sentiment is from Hero Arts, the peach ribbon is A Muse and the
polka dot ribbon is from Michaels.  The sentiments are raised with pop dots.  The pearls on the
feminine card are also from A Muse. The card stock is from Hollo's PaperCraft Store.

I had a rough winter with knee replacement surgery and a bad cold and bloody noses.
I am finally feeling better and able to make cards.  So glad to be back!
