OWH Sketch Challenge #98

Good Sunday Evening --

Managed to get a couple of cards finished today.  I had something pictured in my mind when I started these but ended up with them looking differently from what I wanted.  My pictures didn't turn out as well this afternoon -- I tried taking them with my flash but it washed everything out -- then I took them without and they are a bit dark -- I'll have to take my pictures in good daylight.  It was just one of those days.  :-)

On the  "Wild About You" card I moved the circle -- I didn't want the zebra's rump facing the sentiment -- I don't usually change the sketches around -- but this time I thought it would be okay.

Thanks for stopping by -- I know this is a busy time of year for all of us.  I have to get busy this week -- I want to make a few cards and get my Christmas crafts going too.

Wishing you all a wonderful week!

 I used scraps for this card - not sure of where the DP is from nor the stamps expect the sentiment stamp and it is from "Hot off the Press".  The doily tag is from Martha Stewart.

The zebra stamp is from Stampers Best and the DP is from Bo Bunny - Zoology Collection.    The sentiment I did on my computer.

December Challenge: Get Sentimental

Good Saturday afternoon -- it is a cold windy day here in the desert -- nice to be indoors and home.  Although I have a stack of crafts to do for Christmas I decided to do a card today -- boy did it take me forever to get it done. I would try this color and that color (seems I didn't have the colors I wanted)-- finally just did basic beige and browns with just a bit of color  with the ribbon and couple of little hearts.   Thanks for stopping by -- it has been a while since I have made and posted cards for OWH -- we traveled to Northern California for the most of November to visit family and friends for Thanksgiving and oh there was my son's wedding the first part of November too -- so I've been a busy bee.

I used a Stamper's Best  stamp for the sentiment.  The music sheet stamp is from Recollections.  The hearts were punched with an ek punch and the pearls are from Martha Stewart.

Stars & Stamps - Sketch Challenge 91

Good Evening --

Hope everyone had a good day.  I've been busy bee -- a little bit of crafty things then baking, dinner cooked and kitchen cleaned up now a quick post to my blog to get a couple of the cards I did today.   My pictures seem a little fuzzy -- I'll have to try and take pictures during daylight and see if that makes any difference.

The card with the bird - the DP is from DCWV - The Four Seasons Stack and the sentiment is from Hot Off the Press.  I also added 3 little Blue Jay feathers I found on this summer travels.

The card with the flower - I used DP from Colorbook Pattern Pack, the sentiment is from Impression Obsession.  I added some lace, green and pink ribbon then added 3 pearls from Martha Stewart.

Have a great week -- and thanks for stoppin' in.

                                                     



 

Stars & Stamps Masculine Card Challenge

Good afternoon -- Thought I would try my hand at this today -- I need to make some more cards for OWH and some personal cards for birthdays etc.  This card I made reminds me of when we lived in Idaho.  I have a friend with a birthday coming up who lives in Idaho -- I am going to send him one -- hope he enjoys it.

I used generic kraft paper and the DP paper is from a Four Season Stack from DCWV.   The digital image is from Piddix and the Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Have a great afternoon and evening!

Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge #90

Good Sunday afternoon -- thought I would get this posted before I stopped for some lunch.   It is a beautiful day in the desert -- I'll have to go outside before I work on more cards.

This is a very easy sketch -- I am going to make some more cards today using this sketch and more images from Piddix (I'll put those on my blog later today).  I want to get my cards off to OWH this next week -- the deadline for their Christmas Cards is fast approaching -- October 31st.  

On my card today I used a digital image from Piddix and the green and holly paper are from Basicgrey their Wassail Greetings.    The sentiment is from Hot off the Press.  I added two black gems from Jolee's.

Thanks for stopping in -- have a great day!

I finished a couple more cards -- thought I would post these as well

This card I used a digital image from Piddix.  The paper is from Minds Eye their Merry Days of Christmas and the sentiment is from Hot Off the Press.  The snowflakes for both cards are from a Martha Stewart punch.  The gems are from Jolee's.

This card I used a church stamp from an old stamp set that my sister gave me this summer.  Thought she might enjoy knowing that they are being used.  This stamp set is from Personal Stamp Exchange from 1993.  I liked it because I could use my snowflake punch again.  I think I am stuck on snow flakes and snowmen this year.  :-)   The paper is from Mind's Eye - Merry Days of Christmas and the sentiment is from Hot Off the Press.

Well -- I have to switch gears and go work on some Halloween Projects -- so I hope you have a fun rest-of-the-day!
