Thanksgiving WRAK Card

Another sample of the WRAK labor day challenges. This card will also be sent to the troops. I used a Mojo Monday sketch. You can find those on Julee's Poetic Artistry blog. I ove Julee's sketches. They are so inspiring. For this card I added a little bling with the Stardust Clear pen. I also added the strips of Argyle dry embossed cardstock. For some reason, argyle makes me think warm and somehow transfers to a cold thanksgiving day. That might only work in my little world, but it works :-)


Stamps: Turkey Riley (hanna stamps)
Paper: Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke (Textured), Really Rust, More Mustard, White

TFL!

I promised an updated blog today with a card... so here it is. This is one of the cards that I made for the Labor Day WRAK challenges on Splitcoast. The goal was to make a winter wishes card as opposed to simply a Christmas card. One of my fellow WRAK'rs from the UK sent me this adorable Cherished Teddies image. I colored the image with prismas and odorless mineral spirits. The nave bg is embossed with the CB and I used the Ice Crystal cut and emboss folder from CB for the snowflake. The center is a rihnestone brad by SU.

Stamps: Cherished Teddies (Stampendous), Snowflakes
Paper: Archivers, night of Navy, White
Ink: Black, Versafine Gray
Accessories: Rihnestone Brad, prismas, OMS, Fun Flock, CB Snowflakes folder and Snow fun (cut and emboss)

I did it again

Yes, I am a horrible blogger. But, I do have a new card to show you. I will post it tomorrow. I may need to give away some candy to make it up to all of you (well the few that read my blog anyway).

Stuff

As usual it has been forever. I took last week off work and all my organizational skills stayed at work. I thought I would have time to get new cards made... but noooo.. didn't happen. Well here's to trying again this week!

Another Card for you to see

So much for posting 5 days in a row... sheesh! Anyway, here is another card that I made for the WRAK challenges. It is, at this very moment, on it's way to Cards for Heroes to be sent overseas.

I just love this image from Cornish Heritage Farms This is a simple masculine card, the type that are very hard for me to make! Thanks to Stacy for sending me this image through WRAK!! I love it!

Life

Once again, life tends to get in the way of blogging. I did get a chance to make some cards this weekend. This past weekend was a WRAK Challenge weekend over on SCS. There is an additional incentive to make the cards based on the challenges and then send them to cards for heroes. So, I guess I have 5 days of stuff for my blog ;-) YAY ME!


The challenge was to make a Christmas card with non-traditional (i.e. red and green) colors. I love my brushed silver cardstock so I decided to go with that. The image is Meowy Christmas (High Hopes), isn't it adorable!!!! TFL.. I'll share another card tomorrow!
