Freebie digi's for Soldiers at OWH

Yep that's right 'Operation Write Home' has some pretty nice digital images for use when making cards for OWH.  This is one of the sets and it has thirteen dog images and verses its called Ciara 2 and almost at the bottom of the page here:

I used SU cardstock and scraps of other paper to pull it together, the flower I got in a set and forgot the name.  I did color the bone and ribbon images with Copic's, and the red ribbon is SU.

Busy times around here so as much as I'd love to talk I haven't got time, oh and my home phone isn't working since I rarely get calls it could have been out since Sunday's storm.  One more reason I should cancel my home phone service and go with my Go phone.  Even at a dollar a day an 10 cents a minute its cheaper than what AT & T charges me a month $49.80.  Hmmmmmmmmmm I may just end the service tomorrow.

Ok love you all big hugs,

Friends Tri Shutter Card

This is the first time I've made a card like this but it sure was easy.  I got the tutorial off SCS, the image 'Ladybug Hugs' from Deedee's Digi's.  It actually would have or could have been used for last weeks challenge at Crafting with Deedee but as usual I'm a day late and a dollar short.  So instead I'll enter it in the cards for SCS Tri Shutter Card.    I used SU So Saffron paper with paper from K & Company, little gems and large crystal gems.

I still can't believe how easy it is to make if your interested here's the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/trishuttercard/ just to give you a hint you need a piece of cardstock 12 by 5 1/2 inches then score it at 2,4,8,10 then decorate it, it's that easy.

I'm sorry I've been quite busy with Mom lately seems like she is really confused lately and Saturday night she asked me to take her to the doctor because she was short of breath, stomach pains and she couldn't sit down it hurt her bad.  Well after some questions I decided she wasn't going to quit until I took her to the doctor, but the walk in clinic was closed so was Urgent Care, so we ended up at  the ER.  After getting inside she decided she wasn't hurting as bad as she was but we were there so almost 4 hours later they sent us home.  Her EKG was great, X-rays awesome, Oxygen levels perfect, Blood pressure high but otherwise she was fine.  She got all the TLC she needed and was released, she felt so good she walked all the way to the car in the parking lot and I was smiling cause it was midnight and she was happy.  Sunday she was great all day while I played downstairs making this card then I went to the airport to pick up my daughter & her husband who were returning from Puerto Rico and a cruise.  Well its just been a busy around here for the past few days so Mom is resting and she's just fine, me I'm headed to bed it's been a long day.  Remember to 'Pay it forward'.

Long time no see

I love giraffe's their so regal, gentle, and awesome.  This digital image is from Doodle Pantry and I colored it with Copic's and cut it out.  I found this pretty brown paisley print in my stash cut it with ziggie scissors added some organdy ribbon and SU ribbon popped the giraffe up with pop dots and I was done.  I just love this image and you can see more at http://www.doodlepantry.com/

Yesterday I used my new weedeater 'The Worx'. Well for all the money I spend on it I wasn't happy it's suppose to have a charge on it to cut around 3 thats three football fields.  It didn't make it for 20 minutes and I know I can't walk around three football fields in 20 minutes.  I charged the thing for 2 days so that wasn't the problem and it cut good but just not much and I had no intentions of spending another 25 dollars for a second battery.  So we'll just see how the 60 free trial goes.  I mowed the yard, trim two huge bushes and all before noon.  So needless to say I came in showered, and sat down to enjoy the rest of my book Amazing Grace by Danielle Steel.  It was actually really good and I read the whole thing in 3 days, no I'm starting on Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner.
Have a great weekend I'll be back here on Monday!

God Bless,

'Cuties for a Cure'

Some people don't know how to use inchies, so here are a few of my cards that I made using the new 'Cuties for a Cure' from Deedee's Digi's.  All the proceeds of this digi set go to finding a cure for childhood cancer.  The set has 12 images that are adorable, check out the set here: http://www.deedeesdigis.blogspot.com/

I just threw these together today for anyone that wants ideas on how to use them.

All the cards were made with SU card stock and mostly SU DSP, ribbon and with little gems.  These are six of the twelve little cuties and I'll post the rest later but $3 for such a great set and your purchase is donated the National Childhood Cancer Foundation.  

Operation Write Home Challenge

I really believe in "Pay it Forward" and I love OWH it really fits me because I love to make cards and I love giving.  I usually make about 4 cards a day and I have a box I put them in.  After they've built up a while I stamp the backs with the OWH stamp put writing paper inside the cards and put the back flap in an envelope I'm done.  I try to mail off 100 cards a month and have been doing this for about a year and a half. 

I made this card for the OWH S & S Sketch Challenge #26.

I used SU cardstock and retired background stamps from SU and 'Home Tweet Home' from Deedee's Digi's.  I love her digital images and she has over 70 in stock now.   I love Rhonda's sketch and whipped out the card quickly.  I used rope to hang my sign and Copic's to color my images.  To check out Deedee's images go to:

My second card I made with free digi's for OWH cards.  The digital image was offered by Ciara and its a sheet full of dog images.  I used some red SU card stock with red ribbon and scraps from my scrap basket.  I thought it would be a cute card for those soldiers who choose to write home as much as possible.  The free digitals on OWH are for use on cards going to the soldiers, you can find them here: http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/

Have a wonderful day and remember to 'Pay it forward' God Bless.

Are you kidding me?

Aren't baby goats cute?

I got this digital image from Laurie Wilson at Doodle Pantry.  I fell in love with her digital images when I saw this goat and the inchworms.  I used SU card stock and DSP, did you ever notice when you take a photo and put it on your blog you notice things you didn't see while making your card?  Check out the lower right corner what happened there?  This just cracks me up and usually I don't say anything hoping you all think someone came in after I posted and messed my card up.........LOL.  Ok if you believe that I have a bridge for sale in Arizona.

This second card just cracks me up, my grand daughter saw it and said 'Ummmmm he's got bubble gum all over his face!'  So bright and I colored the worms with Copic's.  I put wiggle eyes on them and used SU cardstock and DSP along with SU felt flowers.  I adore this SU DSP and saved it for special cards.  I think you should check out Laurie's digi's at:  http://www.doodlepantry.com/

she's a very talented artist and I love her giraffe.

Don't forget to 'Pay it forward'.

It's a Girl!

This is one of Deedee's new digital image sets 'It's a Girl!' I had fun coloring it with Copic's. (R81, R20, R30, T3).   I couldn't get a my coloring or shading right so I ended up sort of tye dying by Copics.  I think it turned out cute.  I used the frame trick using my Scor-pal and I needed something on the card so I pulled out my butterfly punches and had some fun finishing the card.

You all need to run by http://www.deedeesdigis.blogspot.com/

Have a great Sunday, God Bless.
