March 18, 2014 Catapillar Mail

There was a request from a friend for a card for a special patient that she was going to forward some cards to, and when I saw the Catapillar Mail on Doodle Pantry I knew that was what I wanted to use to make her card.  I used a precolored digi (easy peasy) and printed out some DP that comes with the digi, still needed another DP so went to my old TAC papers for the purple flower DP.  Had not used my sewing machine to stitch cards in a while and I love the look so stitched all the DP down, used a die cut for the focal image - tied a cute yellow bow with my bow easy and the card was ready to be on the way.  I liked the card so much I made my little chemo buddy one too!!!     Challenges:

March 17, 2014 Swinging Shamrocks

Had to post one last Happy St. Pats Day card - I thought I had deleted one portion but went digging and "found" it in another file.  I saw this card on a friends blog and had to CASE it - on the front of the card I punched three shamrocks out of DP from Michaels  Studio G green paper pack, die cut from AMuse Studio, on the inside I hung the shamrocks from the outside with green embroidery thread so they dangle when you open it.  Thought it turned out cute.  I have a friend coming tomorrow to play and this is going to be one of my projects only with a spring/Easter theme.

March 15, 2014 Irish Birdie

This is my last St. Pat's Day cards I made - well ok I made another one that was really really cute and I somehow deleted it - hate that when that happens, so I will just have to make another one different theme.  This Irish birdie is a digi from Doodle Pantry - so cute, precolored for a quick and easy card.  I mailed out several this year to my chemo buddies, daughter, and granddaughter.  Now on to spring, Easter, sunny cards, winter has gone on long enough.

I had "several" St. Pats cards to make this year - several for chemo buddies, my dear daughter, and a senior buddy.  This one was so easy to put together after I sized and printed the precolored digi, distressed a doily and choose some DP to put behind the image.  I found some really cute st. Pats dish towels, green dish scrubbies, and green hand santizer, plus some gum and mints.  For daughter grandma had to put something "GREEN" as in $$$ for the dear granddaughter.     Challenges:

March 6, 2014 Happy St. Pats Day

Wanted to get this in so i could post to the Sketch Saturday - so sweet and simple as it is a precolored digi from TLC - and it was FREE.  The papers came from Michaels bargain bin  from Studio G - all in greens and the plaid was just what I was looking for in this card.  My Mo-Jo has taken a break since our girls weekend two weeks ago - we were so creative and I have so many new cards that I can send out, but in hopes of spring I plan on starting some springy cards this weekend.

February 27, 2014 Stampfest pictures

I decided to group the butterfly cards together - there were 3 of us that had projects using butterflies - they are so much fun to work with.  On the last card we worked with a new product called silk glitter, love it, needless to say we all sparkled the rest of the day.  There simply was not a card or project that I didn't enjoy and they all turned out great.  I still have a few more to post so be watching next week.

February 25, 2014 Inspirational Words

I really struggled with the sketch for Sketch Saturday this week - and I am not really sure if this will work but I like the way it turned out.  I got my NEW set of stamps from Sweet and Sassy today called Inspirational Word Art.  It comes with 6 beautiful word inspirations which I thought would be perfect for my chemo cards.  I also thought this saying stood alone as the focal point of my card.  Add a flower and a butterfly and it is ready to go in the mail this week.
