Christmas Cocoa

Hi,
It's been a couple days since I posted anything. Been busy with the holidays and family. Roy, my fiancee works away from home a month at a time, then is home for two weeks. So those two weeks, I am not as focused on my crafts as when he is working.
But I did take time to make a card for the D2D challenge this week. I love the cup of Cocoa we got as a freebie for doing their progressive challenge last week. If you don't participate in the D2D challenges, you must. Great digi's, wonderful cards to inspire you. Check it out!
The card design I got from Ladybug's blogspot. I need to refine mine, but for a first attempt I'm happy with it.

I used the digi from D2D
Paper is from The paper Studio
I colored the digi with Copic and Zig markers

Valentine's Card, OWH Bloghop-November 2010

Image
Hi, I'm Shirley. I'm fairly new to making cards, about a year now. And very new to blogging. But I am very excited about both. You'll find more information on an AWESOME group I'm making cards for. It's called Operation Write Home, OWH for short.  They collect mine and many, many other talented card maker's cards and send those to our troops for their personal use to send home. It's give's me a warm and fuzzy feeling thinking I might have made someone smile with one of my cards. :) Below is my Valentine's Card I made for the OWH Bloghop. The heart pattern is in the CardMaker Magazine, March 2010 issue. I have been very busy making more Valentine's cards since this one. I see pink and red hearts in my sleep. ha ha Archway Cookies has pledged to match OWH Valentine cards collected by December 1st.  So now would be a great time to join our OWH family. However if you would like to send in Valentine's cards after this deadline please have the

Two new challenges

Hi everyone, Sorry I have been MIA lately. Some of you may know this, others not. My Dad was in the late stages of cancer and I have been spending as much time as I could with him. So no card making or blogging. Sadly he lost his battle last Thursday.  He will be missed terribly by many people. Yesterday I squeezed in some time to make two cards. The first is for Hambo . I didn't play last week so I didn't get that awesome caterpillar image so I'm using another of their's. Still awesome. The challenge is to use Bright Green and Pink. I think those are cool color combination, so I had a lot of fun with this challenge. The second is for D2D progressive challenge, Spotty Dotty Watering can. I love this image. I think I'm drawn to flowers, I just love coloring and creating with them. The sentiment is also a D2D one. If you haven't ever played in one of D2D challenges, I say go for it, NOW! Lots of cute images and you get a freebie each week you participate. He
