2011 365 #018 another chicken dinner

I whipped up these cards for the Opus Gluei Chicken dinner challenge: http://opus-gluei.blogspot.com/and the Card Patterns sketch challenge:http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/... nothing special, but kind of fun and now I have a little set I can give away to someone....I love that little chicken set....plus it brings me up to 33 completed paper items for this year so far! Wahoo...time to move on to the kid's valentines....just need 100 of those...that will kick start my goal of 1000 items this year....join in the fun...leave a comment and I will link you up with the "others" who are trying to achieve 365 or another goal for 2011...and I used another stamp set that has been buried for a while...and the sad distressing tool that I paid waaaayyy too much for from Zutter and do not really like...but am forcing myself to try and use it cuz it was spensive....

2011 365 #016 - more sympathy

okay, so I said I was done with the sympathy cards for Stonewall, but I changed my mind...I am allowed to do that you know!...my other three were all in the same colours and papers, so I thought I would switch it up a little. I used the sketch from Card Patterns : http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ ...I really liked this sketch and think I will be using it a lot more....simple but pretty and I think a birthday card may be calling my name with a giant cupcake on it, non? In real life, the flowers that were stamped and the one on the side are more of the same colours...but they look quite different in the picture...oh well....daylight here is almost gone...it is 4:30 after all....and coooollllldddd and cloudy...witner at it's best...great day for cardmaking...especially with two girls with full out fevers vegging in the livingroom in front of the t.v. and a husband studying his brains out for promotions...peace and quiet all around...
