One for the Boys

Ok, I pulled out an old High Hopes stamp of mine for this one. For having all sons you would think I would make more "guy" cards, but the cute ones are just too fun I guess. Though I have to say, this boy and his doggie fishing turned out pretty cute in my opinion.  I made this from a recipe on Cards for Men Blog Challenge, gonna be a new favorite for me there, I can tell already.The recipe was one image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments. I used DP from The Paper Studio and the dog tag and black brads are just from my stash. Then at Crafty Catz Weekly they also had a challenge, One for the Boys, so here it is. Going into my OWH pile. Happy Weekend!!

Same sketch different look....slightly

This is another card I made from the sketch at Janet's Corrosive Creations. Just thought I would post it. I'm really rushing out some cards before it is time to ship out for OWH deadline. Its coming up fast.

Make a Wish

I found a very cute sketch at Card Patterns I used for this little card. I changed it a little, but not much. I got the cute fairy from Lily of the Valley, a digi download. Love her. I have a friend that owns a tea cottage called, The Dragonfly Tea Cottage, and she loves ...dragonflies...of course, but also angels and fairies. So, I've been digging out all of my fairies and buggaboos to make her a special little gift. This card is also going in my OWH box. I used DCWV paper and my Prismacolor markers to make this fairy look so cute. I managed to get in a few challenges with this card as well.
Card Patterns for their sketch. At Penny's Paper's there is an Anything Goes Challenge! At Drunken Stampers they are having a birthday bash, which I think this card works nicely for. Maybe not a drunken bash, but it should do. LOL. Off to make another card. Hugs!!

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!!

Operation Write Home

Hey everyone, we all know I love MAKING stuff, but found even a little more reason to keep creating. Gonna for certain be sending in a box for this great cause. Anyone want in on it? You can do your own, get your own group in on it, or  you can add what you make to the box I am sending. Brad was in Boot Camp when his little brother turned 5 and I know how bad he felt about it and how sad he was he couldn't even send him a card. I can't even imagine how rough it is for our men and women overseas away from their families, friends and loved ones. Would be great if lots of us got in on showing some love for those who serve us anonymously every day. Love and hugs from a Very Proud Marine Mom!!
