More Snow and Birthday Cards

Tomorrow is April 1st and I am hoping that when I wake up, the forcast for snow will be an April Fools JOKE!!  I am pretty sure all of us in north Jersey are ready to be done with the white stuff :)

For today I am showing off the birthday cards that went in my last shipment to Operation Write Home.
I am showing them all in one post, although I must tell you, I wasn't sure about doing it this way. My crafting time is kind of hit or miss and mostly done on the weekends, so I don't have a huge file of unpublished projects to share. I thought about dragging them out and doing one or two cards at a time, but I don't want my followers to get bored :)

So here we go.... Birthday cards ...

I have to say, I was very happy with these cards. I liked the simplicty of them and didn't mind that they don't have any glitter :)

All the supplies used are from Stampin Up.

As always, thanks for stopping by.  I would love to know what you think of these birthday cards :)

ThankYou Cards for OWH

When I sent my last box to OWH, I included some general occasion cards along with Easter and Mothers Day. Here are some of the thank you cards.

Looking back, I can't believe it, but there are NO Cricut cuts on these cards !  That dosen't happen very often... but I see that the birthday cards that I will post next time are all Non-Cricut cards also ... wow

All the supplies for these cards came from Stampin Up. I really am trying to use up stuff that I already have... So I can buy more !!

Hope you like these cards.

As always, thanks for stopping by :)

FIrst Time Using A Sketch

I am constantly amazed at how much this family of bloggers that I have come to know, let me stretch my creative wings. I try to give new techniques, challenges and now sketches a go whenever possible. I can't WAIT for summer vacation so I can craft all the time !! LOL).
I used the OWH sketch #46 for these cards. The simpleness suits my style, but I do want to use it again and try to make it a bit more elaborate ~ not my style ~.

The cardstock, ink , Flowers and Happy Birthday stamps are Stampin Up.
Hello and Spring Wishes stamps are Papertrey Ink.
Ribbon is SU and my stash.
The edge punches are Martha Stuart and SU.

I seem to have a problem making cards that are exactly alike.... something else I need to work on :)

As always, thanks for stopping by :)

Starting on Easter

The deadline to get Easter cards to Operation Write Home is March 18th.. and I actually have some done !!  Amazing myself :)  LOL

I used 3 colors for this design so I could have 3 differemt looks for the same card.

The Details

• Stampin Up Cardstock~So Saffron, Regal Rose, Sage Shadow
• Ribbon~ Stampin Up and my stash
