Cards from the Heart Drive

Winter is hosting her annual Cards from the Heart card drive for children in hospitals.

See the information HERE on her blog. 

Timing is running out and she has received fewer cards than last year.
If you have a bit of time the next couple days, maybe you can make a few?

Here's a couple I sent...

Koala is from "Create a Critter" cartridge.

This one features Echo Park paper.

Blogger is so blurry.  There's glossy accents on the "hello" letters and the arrow.

The arrow is a die by MFT "Lead the Way"

 

I am linking these cards up to the Purple Onion blog 

who is one of the sponsors for the drive.

Thank for visiting,

I wanna be a Ninja!

 

Here's a birthday card I made for a 6 year old boy.

The theme of the party was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 

(singing the theme song in your head, aren't ya?).  

I found this cute turtle on the Create-a-Critter cartridge and decided to 

turn him into a ninja to fit the party theme.  

The boy was the orange one for Halloween so that led the way for the color scheme.

Other Supplies:

Brads for eyes,

folded ribbon for headband

net ribbon from Ribbon Carousel

striped paper by Echo park

I am entering this card into the NEW Seize the Birthday challenge site.

My Card Drive for Addison is ending this month.

See HERE for details.

GREAT prizes!!

Heart Card

Made a quick little card this morning to send off to my friend Addison.

No stamping on this one.

Features Echo Park papers from the "Be Mine" collection.

Yep, been using this paper a lot b/c I scrap boys and have very little girly colored papers.

Sounds like a reason to shop, huh?  (:
So proud of myself for using some of that washi tape (black with white polka dots) on my desk! 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

This little card will be on its way to Addison, my friend's daughter recently diagnosed with Leukemia.  I am hosting a CARD DRIVE for her.  Love to have you join me!  Lots of incredible prizes.  You can find all the information HERE or click on her pciture in my sidebar.

blue/orange b-day card

Sharing a birthday card.

I changed the Craft's Meow sketch up a bit to get a more masculine feel.

Always need more masculine b-days cards in my stash, 

but really this could go to either gender. 

I used my Cricut to cut the star.

The stamped images/sentiments are from the Typically Teen set
designed by Karen Baker for The Craft's Meow.

I stamped the swosh from the set on the inside.

I put pumice and spiced marlade inks on my mat and inked the stamp.

Then, I spritzed it with Perfect Pearls and water.

Hard to see the shimmer, but it looks pretty cool!

Here's the July Sketch:

Supplies:

Stamps: Typically Teen

Papers: MME The Bright Side: One

distress inks: spiced marmalade, pumice, faded jeans

Other: buttons, gems, burlap string, Cricut, Sizzix stars die, pop dots

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Soccer themed card

I feel like I am knee deep in soccer pictures from last fall.  

My old camera died back then and I purchased a new one....

Lots of pictures were taken and developed so I could see the results, how they looked when I blew them up, etc... LOTS..
Now I am trying to go through them to make one two-page layout... hard to narrow them down!

Anyway, I am sharing a card I made to thank the Little Kicker coaches for their time.
The team was lime green so I wanted to use that color in the card.

I cut the soccer ball from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge.

Other Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Twine: the Twinery

Punch: EK

Stars Embossing folder

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp: Sports/Patriotic theme challenge

Here's our Matty Moo at age 4 1/2 having fun at soccer last fall:

SSS: Advent Calendar

Can you believe it is December already?

Sharing my Advent Calendar today.

Made it out of toilet paper rolls and paper from Hobby Lobby racks.

Cut the numbers on the Cricut and then sealed them on with Mod Podge.

Items include: candies, puzzle piece (new puzzle), chapstick, dollars, certificate for a Hotwheel of their choice, certificate for a book, Squinkie, Lego person, etc.

I still have a few spots to fill.

They were so excited this morning! 

I am submitting this project into the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge.

Thanks for looking!

Pandamania!

A few weeks ago our church held VBS week.  The theme was PandaMania! 

I used my Create a Critter cartridge on my Cricut to make

panda bears to decorate the wall of my room. 

The "trees" are cut out of paper from the rack at Michaels and the

leaves were cut out of construction paper. 

I used green yarn as vines for the pandas to swing and play through the "trees".

Just wanted to share...

Thanks for stopping by!
