OWH Midweek Throwdown

This weeks OWH challenge is to do his and hers cards using the same layout. I decided to go with something on the simpler side. You can't tell from my lousy photography, but the yellow in the butterfly card isn't as lemony looking as it appears. I hope you take some time to check out their blog and take some time to make a card or two to send their way! Thanks for looking!

Whoo Whoo

I'm not a huge fan of owls, but this guy is just too cute for words. I guess it's the real ones I don't care for too much. Last year we had a few in our yard and they just sort of freak me out. I guess you could say it's the superstitious aspect of the hoot owl that I don't like. Crazy right? Don't look it up if you believe in that sort of thing.  ;)  Anyway, been stamping a little here and there and found a new little craft I'm enjoying too. Have you seen those ribbon necklaces on the internet? Well I found an online source for the "specialty" ribbon and went to town making them this weekend. I love them!

This photo doesn't really do these necklaces justice but you get the idea. One of these days I'll pick up one of those necklace displays. The hardest part was finding beads with a large enough hole to fit all the ribbon through so you can adjust the length of the necklace. We have a huge bead shop out here and there were only two beads for me to chose from. Go figure. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Birthday Dog

Hello all! It's been a while. I've been stamping here and there. Working on cards for my stash, graduation cards and cards for Operation Write Home. I'm pleased with the way this card turned out and decided it was blog worthy, so here it is. (I still love all of my Angel Company stamps) I have a few more I'll post over the next few days too. Is everyone enjoying spring? I know in the mid-west they are having lots of snow! Here in the west we have a little rain, and some warm windy days. Hello allergies! You can leave any time!! Thanks for looking today and I hope you find some time to be creative.

Just for fun

Just a little fun post for you to enjoy over the weekend. Love this little girl and plan to add it to the new box of cards I've started for OWH. Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

OWH Midweek Throw Down

It's time for OWH midweek throw down! This week is a recipe mix card. Love this one! Here's the recipe: 

1 Embossing Folder

1 Border Punch or Die

2 Pattern Papers

1 Ribbon or Twine

As with any recipe I "adjusted" for taste. (smiles) I used 4 patterned papers and 2 dies. Delish! Thanks for looking today and I hope you can play along.

Can't think of a good title for this post

Since I'm home with the crud today and my antibiotics have had a day to kick in I thought I'd try stamping. Not too shabby for someone on drugs! LOL! I know you can't really tell, but the key on the bottom card was die cut out of shiny gold card stock. I had to use a brad to attach the ribbon because the key is so delicate. Pretty clever right? Thanks for looking today!

A Little Late

I had planned to post this earlier in the week and time just got away from me. I hope you all had a nice Valentine's Day with that special someone in your life. And I hope you take some time to tell all the people close to you how much you love them!
