A New Years Eve Birthday

My sister in law's birthday is today ... Last year I sent an appletini card.  This year I thought I'd make a classier one ...

 I love MFT's a la mode stamp sets!  This is one of the new ones I just got and thought it was perfect!

Its a little hard to see, but after coloring with Copics, I went over the dress and shoes with a Spica clear glitter pen.  Its sparkly IRL :)

Thanks for stopping by!

OWH Valentines Party

A few friends from church came over tonight and made valentines to sent in to Operation Write Home.  I'll be whipping them tomorrow but wanted to do a quick post tonight with all my friends working hard


 
    
        


We made about 100 cards tonight .... most were valentines with a few that can double as thinking of you, plus a few birthday cards thrown in for good measure.

Thanks for stopping by!

Last OWH Card

Besides Valentines, Operation Write Home always needs birthday / thinking of you / general purpose cards so whenever I do specific themes I try and make some of those as well to replenish my shipper's supply of those always in demand cards (my shipper is Kris in Kansas.  She ships everything for the Midwest region of the US ... big hand for Kris!!)

Here is the birthday card we'll be making:

My friend who is helping my is making  mostly these general purpose types of cards so we'll send in about half and half.

One More OWH Valentine

I tried to keep the cards for this party simple.   I don't know for sure how many people are coming or their stamping history ... one party I had there were a lot of first time stampers. They had a ball, but I learned that I need t keep the cards pretty straightforward.

Pretty simple, but cute.

Another OWH Valentine

This is a rather non traditional valentine, but what the heck, I'm kind of a non traditional person myself :)

I love the heart "steam" from warm happiness too.  I didnt want to make it too valentine-y, but this could work for Valentines or Thinking of You as well.

Since I got the die in my last order, I had to die cut the mug (I'm sure you'll be seeing die cut teapots soon as well :)

Thanks for stopping by!

OWH Valentine

Here is another valentine for the party coming up soon:

I made one similar to this a few months ago, but I love the look and thought a purple version would be awesome to anyone who might have a red-aversion :)  Who could really, but you never know!
