Football Smile

 The image is from Dearie Dolls that I downloaded some time ago. I colored this image with Copics Sketch Markers.  The sentiment is from a Hampton Art all occasion sentiment stamp set #SC0473.

Isn't he a cutie?  I hope that he is still smiling on Sunday night.

OWH Sketch Challenge #194

Operation Write Home Sketch #194 - I took this opportunity to use a stamp purchased recently at a StampScrapArtTour show in September.

This was an unmounted rubber stamp and I failed to record which vendor I purchased it from. :(

Girlfriends Card

Here is a card that I was 'commissioned' to make for a couple of gals at work.  One of their lunch break gals retired this week.

The stamped image is by Art Impressions Girlfriend series.
It is colored with Copics markers
Papers are Bazzill and Core'dinations
Several of the gals make jewelry, so I added seed bead necklaces to the image and a product called Glossy Accents to the earrings and bracelet to make them shiny.

Horse Lover Hello

I made this card earlier this week for those Heroes with horse lovers in their family.  I wanted a rustic but neat look, so I chose each element with that in mind.

Operation Write Home Sketch #155

Another fun Sketch for Operation Write Home this Sunday - #155!!

I colored several digital stamps in the evening this past week. Today's sketch was inspiration for using this adorable little "Bear with Sunflower" digi  from Dilly Bean.  I colored the digi with Copics (which I am really a beginner at - I think I got lucky on this one).  

The papers are Wild Asparagus from My Mind's Eye 2006.  I've had the papers for a while, but I probably purchased them at the Scrapbook Super Store or Scrapbook Clearance Store in Pigeon Forge, TN.  (yay !! one of my favorite places)

OWH Virtual Card Making Party (VCMP) Challenge #1

Hello !  Labor Day has been a 'wash out' - it has rained almost all day.  Not so good for our home town Labor Day Festival or a BBQ, but a GREAT day for card making!!  I have actually been at it since Friday evening after work.  My goal for the weekend - to finish off a box of cards of at least 100 cards to send to Caro.  When I reached 95 sometime on Saturday, I stopped counting.  I have 110 cards as of this moment.

Operation Write home hosted a Virtual Card Making Party on Saturday & Sunday.  I had cards in my box that fit some of the challenges and they are cards that I have not previously posted, so I am posting them for the VCMP. I spent some time Sunday evening and today trying to make cards for the rest of the challenges in VCMP.

Challenge #1 - OWH partnered with  Our Daily Bread Designs monthly challenge to create cards with Scripture or uplifting quote or sentiment.  I already had this one prepared.

Matthew 19:26

This card was assembled using scraps and flowers from my stash, Jubliant Waves embossing folder by  Lifestyle Crafts  and All Things Are Possible stamp by  Stampabilities .  I did not have a brad in the right shade of yellow, so I colored a pale yellow brad with a Copics  sketch marker to achieve the shade coordinating with the yellow cardstock.
