Hambo Ogre and D2D ladybugs

Good Monday Morning to all my peeps! I know, if you work outside of the home, what's good about a Monday  morning?  :-)  I have an appointment with a temp service this morning to finish my paperwork and interview with them. SO I'm hoping by next week I will be a "complainer" of Monday mornings! Say a prayer for me that they find me a job ASAP! I NEED one like yesterday.
Okay enough about me...here are my two cards for today;
Hambo has an adorable Ogre for their challenge this week. We were to distress the paper. I really didn't use any paper per say on my card. But I distressed the edges of the card and the sentiment. I think I should have used paper....

The flower stamps were from a package I won...I'm sorry I forgot from whom I won them!
He's colored with Bic markers. And the sentiment came with the Ogre.






My next challenge with with D2D for this weeks progressive challenge. Faith included a white png image that you can layer over digital paper. Well I like to try new things so I used that and layered over some digital paper I had but had never used. WOW...fun, fun. I can see this would be great to do with the right paper. I colored, again, with my Bic's. I added a white gel pen to the flower petals. And some stitching around the image and the background paper. Enjoy both cards.

Happy Crafting,
Shirley G

    They are both cute cards! My ogre was orange--there were a lot of green ones, weren't there? He's pretty in purple!
    Wow, you went all out on the D2D card--love the wild bug colors and bright flower. Good sentiment too. I’m glad you joined us at Designed2Delight. Please come back again next week!

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
