Owl be Thinking of You

Happy Tuesday everyone.... I'm a little late uploading my card today - I was babysitting my twin grand babies for about 5 hours. My sister, Valerie-Raye, and I brought the twins back to my house so that their Mommy could catch up on some much deserved sleep.

I made this card for the Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT133. Some of us will be sending our cards to Marie - the sister of a SCS/teapotter Philsmom (Fran). Marie is a quadriplegic as a result of progressive MS. We are hoping that our cards will bring a little cheer into her day. Marie loves owls - this was the theme of today's challenge.

QFTD47 - Sag you're it and Hogs and Kisses

This week over at Splitcoast Stampers Bev Barton was crowned "Queen for the Day". My grand daughter, Nico, was have a sleep over and wanted to make a Valentine's Day card for her Mommy and Daddy. Here is Bev's adorable card that we cased called "Cupid". Nico picked out the fun "Hogs and Kisses" stamp and the colours. She coloured the image by herself using Gramma's special markers. She cuttlebugged the pink panel with the heart folder, she crimped the pink middle panel. Cut out the nesty scalloped rectangle and with Gramma's help she sewed the card and made sure her fingers didn't get in the way of the needle :)
She found the little red hearts on my stamping table and wanted to use them on the card. She glued them down and added Stickles to the three little hearts and the big heart one of the pigs is holding. She gave the card to her Mommy when she was picked up this afternoon - was her Mommy ever happy and proud of the card Nico made for her... :)



I cased this "Party Chick" card of Bev's. I loved the image and layout of her card. I didn't have her fancy lady, but I did have this fun Bugaboo Stella Sews image already coloured and ready to use. My SCS sister Pat Smethers sent me this hilarious sentiment in a birthday card. The designer paper is from a Martha Stewart 12x12 pack.

Flying by to say "Hello"

Happy Tuesday everyone... I made this card for the Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT132 - over at Splitcoast Stampers and it also worked for this weeks colour challenge as well.

This week our card destination is to Kearney, Nebraska - to Sean, a young man battling testicular cancer. We were asked to bring, planes, balloons, kites etc.. anything that flys.

I had this wonderful airplane sticker in my stash and it worked perfectly for today's challenge and it's colours are close enough to this weeks colour challenge, night of navy, Cajun craze, daffodil delight. I just purchased the designer paper a couple of days ago - it came in a discounted paper pack from Michael's. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Hedgehog Happiness set.
