OWH Sketch #238

I really like this week's sketch at the Stars & Stamps blog. It lends itself well to using tags, which I love. Here's a vintage card I made based on the sketch:


The image is from a pack of vintage ephemera I bought at The Queen's Ink in Savage, MD, while I was there for Sandy's Copic class. Thanks for stopping by.

ODBD October Challenge: Snowflakes (not Christmas)

Hi. When I found this cool owl image I decided to try a monochromatic nature card. I posed it with a giant pine cone I brought back from Lake Tahoe.

World Card Making Day 2014: OWH Blog Hop!

Welcome!
Happy World Card Making Day 2014! The theme at Operation Write Home's blog party today is "love" and I intended this card to be masculine, but, as it turned out, I think it could be for a guy or a gal.  Maybe? In any case, it was fun.  I love tags and this coffee stamp set from Hero Arts:

 
Stamps: Hero Arts "Need Caffeine" Poly Clear Stamp set
DP: My Mind's Eye "Come Away With Me" 6x6 pad
Ribbon: Paper Source
Ranger Distress Ink
Charm: stash
 
I hope you have a great time seeing what everyone has created; I know I will! Come back soon.

OWH Sketch 239: a vintage kitchen card

I used the new OWH Sketch 239 for the layout of my card. I also made it for the current challenge at Seongsook's Stampers "Food and Beverage":

This pretty old image reminds me of my late mother-in-law, Alice, who was the most good, kind and elegantly fashionable lady I ever knew. She was also a college graduate and home economics teacher.  She was wonderful and I loved and admired her!
