OWH Sketch #195

So I finally got my scanner hooked up and working with my Macbook.  ONLY 3 years later (not quite, but who's counting)!  ANYWAY, I wanted to get in one card today for the OWH Sketch #195 as well as last weeks Midweek Throwdown: Snow Much Fun.  I think this turned out lovely.

All items used on this card are from Gina K. Designs except the Black Ink (Club Scrap) and Ribbon (Stampin' Up!).  The printed paper is from the Winter Whimsy Kit and the stamps are both from the current Incentive set "You Melt My Heart."  I just love this little guy!

Thanks for looking!

OWH Sketch #194

Today's cards were inspired by Operation Write Home's Sketch #194.  I'm trying to make some nice Valentine's cards for them (and maybe keep a few for myself)!  Hope you like them!

This one is on an Amuse CS Base.  I'm not sure who the patterned paper is by, as there is nothing on it.  Got it at my LSS.  The yellow, orange, & pink plain CS is SU! as is the stamp "LOVE".

The second card is on an Amuse CS Base with SU! plain CS used as well.  The patterned paper is doodlebug design inc. LOVEBIRDS.  The Ribbon is SU! also.  The cage and bird are Sizzix die cuts.

Authentique Fresh Cards

Todays inspiration was from the owner of my LSS Stamp Scrap n' More http://www.stampscrapnmore.com.  Peggy made a cute little set of cards with the Authentique Fresh 6X6 Bundle.  Her cards were small and had a nice little box.  I made mine normal A2 size. I think they turned out lovely.

     Paper: Authentique Fresh
     Card stock: Stampin' Up! Riding Hood Red and Baja Breeze
     Ribbons: Stampin' Up! Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, Riding Hood Red & Baja
     Breeze Pleated Satin ribbon

OWH Sketch #193

http://operationwritehome.org/sketch-challenge-193/

So using the inspiration of OWH's sketch #193 I created this card.  Not too shabby!  I used 2 pieces of scraps leftover from a Basic Grey 6X6 marrakech paper pad.  Hope you like it!

And here's another one.   I think I like this one even better!

Da Bears!

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL??????  My Bears are playing the Saints at noon today.  Gotta get a move on to the gym and MAYBE get my nails done before then.  Lot's to do before the game.  GO BEARS!!!!!
