Just Because

Over the weekend I went on a few blog hops. One of them was the Connie Can Crop Birthday Blog Hop. I really like the cards that Michelle from Michelle's Craft Room did. I had to scraplift the idea.

Here is my version of Michelle's card.

Things With Wings

I have a rose tattoo on  my ankle. I have had it since I was 30. I want another one. My card for the President's Day VCMP "Things With Wings" Challenge at Penguin Papers is kind of taken from my next tattoo. I want a heart with angel wings and halo and music notes around it. Evidently I really like hearts with angel wings. I have 2 different stamps that were purchased years apart in different states.

Here is my card.

Texture Omit/Selective Embossing Challenge

I am gonna start by saying this card looks much better in person than it does on the computer. The Sweet Mellon ink is is much brighter in person. 

This card is for the President's Day VCMP Texture Omit/Selective Embossing Challenge at Bunny Scrap. I made my embossing diffuser with my cricut. I did learn not to make the diffuser too complex. Since I was using a cupcake stamp, I decided to do a cupcale diffuser. You can not make out the cupcake after running it through the cuttlebug. The difusser was easy to make and I will use it again, but only using simple shapes. :) 

If there are any photo experts out there, I would appreciate any suggestions to help my pics look better.

Hoppy Birthday!

For the OWS Virtual Card Maker Party at Deliteful Gifts the challenge was "All Creatures Great and Small". For this card I used my Four Legged Friends cartridge and cut the frog at 2 inches..

Here is my Hoppy Birthday Card!

Operation Write Home

I have decided I want to start making cards for our soldiers. I am gonna start makeing cards for OWH - Operation Write Home. This is taken from OHW's webpage:
"Care packages filled with hundreds of handmade cards are sent to our contacts, restocking every 6-8 weeks, and are sent in time for the long journey back home to loved ones. Each box is packed with great care, alternating styles, colors, and cardmakers from all over the USA, creating “eye candy” for heroes who see only khaki around them. The topper on each box is a plastic bag filled with 20-30 letters from adults and children across the country, letters handed out especially to those in need of a positive word from the homefront."

OHW has challenges to help keep the cardmaker's creative minds flowing. I am joining in on their President's Day Virtual Card Making Party. The first challenge is "Zig Zag Your Cards!"   I made my Chevron stripes with my Gyspy and Cricut.

PS - There is no glitter on my card. The flash from my camera make my zebra stripes look funny.
