Cards In Envy "Going Gray" challenge

Here's my card for the new challenge at Cards In Envy:

 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are doing well.

Mid-month OWH Challenge:Thank You

I bought this image from Doodle Pantry awhile ago but hadn't used it. I decided to use the pre-colored version that's in the set. I was going for a masculine card, with flowers and brad that I hoped would work for a guy. That's BoBunny dp and the sentiment is a rubber stamp from my stash.

 

Have a good weekend!

A card for a local hero

I just ordered the First Responders stamp set (My Favorite Things) from the shop at OWH and it happens that the ODBD challenge for January at OWH is to make a card for a hero. I decided to use my police woman stamp and make a card to thank police officers. It also works for the blue challenge at Seongsook's Stampers and the new challenge at Card In Envy--use banners. I didn't get the greatest photo of my card but here it is:

I'll try to get a sharper photo tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

Fourteen from '14!

Happy New Year and welcome to my blog! Thanks to Operation Write Home for sponsoring this event where card makers take a look back and share their favorite cards. I hope you enjoy seeing these cards I made. I can't wait to hop around to other blogs to see all the gorgeous creations!

1. My first card is very special to me. I made it for the arrival of my first grandchild, Benjamin, born to my daughter-in-law, Lori, and son, Brian, on October 7th!
