Thanks for being you

Back from my little vacation in St. Louis. It was great seeing my hubby and my son. Michael and I had a great time, but we had some camera problems. It is now time to GET ME A NEW CAMERA!! I hate losing pics due to technical difficulties, meaning, my camera sucks. LOL!! So, I am kind of getting back into my groove and went downstairs to do some creating. I found some fun challenges that helped me along with this.At Card Makin Mammas, they asked for Green, which I certainly gave them here. At Charisma Cardz they asked for an easel card. I made that, but with a twist. It's not just a card, it is a gift card holder. I used the embellishments I made at the

bottom into a pocket to fit the gift card. At Sugar Bowl, they wanted us to follow a sketch, which I did, make it springy, which I think it is with the pink and green and have it not a card. So, as a gift card holder, I think I qualify. :o)  At If the Shoe Fits they wanted green as well and at Pixie Dust they had a challenge, Thanks for being you. I had a lot of fun with this card. I enjoyed making my own embellishments as well. Easy and fun card with one of my favorite line of stamps from Sugar Nellie, the Gorjuss Girls.

  

Clean and Simple

 Well, this card I kept clean and simple for the challenge at The Sugar Bowl. They had a sketch and the theme of clean and simple. And I think black and white with just a splash of green is pretty clean and simple. Not to mention I just love this stamp. I used the DP from an old SEI paper pack I had I believe. I painted in the colors using my Prisma Color markers, adding ink with my clear blender, I like the softer look it offers that way. At The Charisma Challenge site they were asking for Black and White and a splash of color and at Stamp Something they asked for something with flowers. My DP has flowers on it and my little girl is holding a pretty little boquet herself. Have a great weekend.

Adore my Sweet Nellies

Well, I have not gotten a lot done, but I do like the way my card turned out. I used one of my favorite Sugar Nelly stamps. I went for a few challenges with this one along with making sure it fit all the criteria for the Operation Write Home project. It will not get to any soldier in time for Valentine's day, but I made it with no red or pink so it can just be for any loved one at any time.
At The Sugar Bowl, I used their sketch. I changed it a little, but not too much. I just liked the way the Adore on the paper looked there, as opposed to on the bottom like on the beautiful sketch they provided.
At Crafts 4 Eternity you were to use Polka dots.
At Fussy and Fancy Fridays you needed to make a Valentine type card with no red or pink.
At Prarie Fairie Fridays you were to make a sweet heart card.
At Charisma you were to make a love/valentines card.
And at Winterwonderland, you were to use the sentiment as the main.
So this is my first card in the box for the OWH project only about 99 more to go!!
