OWH Sketch and Back to School

I used the new OWH Sketch and a Hambo Stamps digi for this card, which I hope will make a nice general "hello" card for a hero to send to a child. I need help learning to re-size digis; the image was a bit big so I had to cut it out and let it overlap the circle a bit, but I kind of like that look. I colored it with Copics and shaded in the background with a colored pencil because I only have a few Copics so far!

Here's a second card for the Sketch; I thought the image was cute for the OWH Midweek Challenge (I'm a little slow) to make Back to School cards. All of Slieke's cute digis at www.sliekje.blogspot.com are free if you haven't checked them out!

One more for the Back to School theme! I didn't know that Nikki had a teacher digi among her collection at MelonheadzIllustrating. I hope there are heroes who have a spouse or daughter who is a teacher, perhaps even a first-year teacher, who might like to receive this card:

Hambo Laughing Digi for the Hoedown/starburst card tutorial at OWH

For this week's Hambo Hoedown challenge, we were to use their new Laughing Digi (which makes me laugh when I look at it) as well as a color challenge using red and teal, with choices of ivory, cream or kraft. I think I used all of the above, lol. I decided to combine it with the really fun sunburst card tutorial at the OWH Stars and Stamps blog this week.
I hope this card makes you chuckle, too! Thanks for stopping by.

You Rock card/OWH sketch 73

I have been wanting to use my guitar stamp and sentiment for awhile now and finally get around to it! I can't remember the last time I made a card that a teen might like!

The sunburst card is really fun to make. I used Memory Box papers.

Ice cream pop punch cards + one

Hi! There's a great article in the July '11 CardMaker Magazine by Kimber McGray called "Using Punches on Cards" (pp 24-25). I didn't attempt all the cute ice cream shapes Kimber made on her card but here's my go at it. Very easy and fun to make!

In this same magazine, on p. 26, is the "Readers Reach Out" feature with Operation Write Home as this issue's recipient of cards!

Shifting gears, I love vintage looking designs and want to share this card. The beautiful papers, with a touch of Orange Marmalade and Vintage Photo distress inks, did all the work! I like how the papers came together and hope you do, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving in June: OWH Midweek Throwdown

This cute little turkey is a digi by Nikki at Melonheadz Illustrating. I colored it with Marvy LePlume markers. The pp is from The Green Stack by DCWV. I did the stitching with a Sakura puff pen but it didn't really turnout as I hoped. Thanks for stopping by!
