Happy Birthday, 2 cards, 3 challenges

Whew it's been busy here today...LOVE it.
I have two Birthday cards and three challenges to enter them in. The first card is a Bugaboo image and computer generated sentiment. I have to tell you, I love Bugaboo images and this was so fun to color I did two.
This was colored with my Bic markers. Perfect young man card, I think. I'm entering this in Bugaboo, Catch the Bug challange-Anything goes. And in OWH mid week challenge-use dots. I have to tell you, I just learned how to do the "special sentiment" from this great site, here. KUDOS...I will be practicing this a LOT!

My next card is Hambo's latest image and challenge. Yup, I read the directions several times...USE lots of Gold. Okay, I did!  My brothers g/f's b'day is on the 17th so this card is for her.
 And a close up of the image;
Is he not the cutest? I usually don't make St. Pat's day cards. NOT a big fan of green...but this was perfect for Shannon's b'day. I added gold to the hat band and on the gold with my Gold leaf pen, then to make it shine, I added stickles to the pot of gold.
Time for lunch, I'm starving! LOL
Happy Crafting,
Shirley G

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

Moving

I am in the process of moving my craft room from a tiny back bedroom . That room faces the NW, windows on both sides, 3 doors and a closet. Oh and there is the utility closet also. So you can imagine hardly any wall space. Since sit just me and Lucy, the cat, I have no problem with my craft room moving to the front/living room . I don't have many visitors so that won't be an issue either. Recently I was blessed with a wonderful gift of a lot of stamps, inks, and paper. I'll be posting more paper crafts but may not be able to tell who the company is for some projects . So I'm off here and back to the moving. Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter 🐇 if you celebrate. Shirley
