OWH Midweek Throwdown Brown

If you are looking for my House of Cards DT Post please go HERE.  Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown is to create cards using brown as your color scheme.  I created two cards using my treasured Simple Stories "Documented" paper and stickers (no longer being sold).  I loved that paper kit.  Found some more on Ebay so I won't be totally out!

Stamps are Stampin'Up!

Happy Crafting!

30th Wedding Anniversary

Thirty years of wedded bliss to the same wonderful man!  Here's a peek at the outside of the card that I made to give him today.

I generated my own sentiment using Creative Memories Storybook Creator 4.0.  The fonts are Lucinda Bright and Aquiline.  The 30 is stamped with Close to My Heart Bohemian Alphabet using Tim Holtz Walnut  Stain Distressed Ink and then coated with Ranger Glossy Accents.  I also used Glossy Accents over the "Love Story" letters.  The paper is from a Simple Stories 6x6 Documented Pad.  Lace and Ribbon are from my stash.  I inked the lace with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressed Ink so it would match the paper.

Happy Crafting and Happy Anniversary to my Dear Husband!

Apron Strings Croptober Reboot Day 1

The Apron Strings blog is doing a Croptober.  Reboot Day 1 is to use the image below for inspiration.   

I decided to make a card using the Apron Strings "September Smaller Than a Breadbox" kit.  I have been dying to use the Simple Stories paper with the large circles with sayings in them.  Here is the card I made.

The background paper is Simple Stories also.  The flowers are from the September Smaller than a Breadbox kit.  The ribbon is from my stash and the bling is  from Creative Charms.
Happy Crafting!

OWH Sketch Challenge 140

It has been a while since I did a sketch challenge for OWH.  You will be seeing another from me when we have the World Card Making Day Bloghop on 6 October!  Here is my card from OWH Sketch 140.

The background paper is from a Simple Stories "Documented" 6x6 paper pack.  The lettering is from an unknown scrap and the damask print and postcard are from the same Simple Stories paper pack.   The LOVE lettering is from the Simple Stories Document Expressions Cardstock Stickers page (item #2303).  I inked everything with Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy Distressed Ink.  The little bit of lace was a scrap laying on my work table and the card just needed a little something to finish it off.

Happy Crafting!

OWH Rebel Challenge #2

Operation Write Home continues with their challenges throughout the weekend.  This challenge was use something you have been hoarding.  I got this 6x6 pad of paper from Simple Stories and had not used it yet.  I also had not used the Tim Holtz Heartfelt stamps yet.  So here is my card.

Happy Crafting!  See you for the next challenge.
