OWH World Card Making DAY 2012 BLOG HOP!!!

I tried and tried to grab the "code" but I couldn't get it to work. ((Banging head on desk))  Sorry!!!  You are in the right place, my blog is part of the OWH WCD Blog Hop! Here is the link to go back to the beginning, if you need it! http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps



Let's have some fun ladies!!!!


HAPPY WCD!!! Greetings from PHOENIX, ARIZONA!!! Thanks for dropping in for a few! I hope you are finding some nice inspiration along the way! I decided to do the Blog Hop in hopes it would give me some mojo that I somehow lost about a month ago...it worked! I forgot how it feels to flip thru paper and run my fingers thru a big jar of buttons and brads.  I even cut some paper I have been hoarding FOREVER!!! :)  I'm living on the dangerous side!
 
 I used Sketch #21 from the Stars and Strips Sketches. But I flipped it on it's side!  I dusted off my copic markers and gave it a whirl. I am not a Copic-ista by any means, I think this is like my 4th  image colored, so I am still learning. Don't laugh!  I thought this version of Santa best fits me and the other Arizona OWH-ERS as it is HOT here! Still a whopping 105 degrees!

Thanks for stopping by! Grab yourself a Coke and head on to the next blog!
Wait...almost forgot, check out yesterdays blog post for some CANDY! Yup, all ya gotta do is leave some love in the "Doo ba leee doo" on YESTERDAY'S post!
Take care and sending lots of Awesome Mojo Your Way!!!

Glitter Diva Cups

I made these insanely cute Diva Cups for all my kids' Teachers, Teacher Aids, bus drivers etc.
They are so fun to make, if you like Glitter. I'm not a big fan of crafting with Glitter, it gets everywhere. In the end it was worth it cause I am still hearing talk about these cups at their school, they are a huge hit!
I found a website who sells these type of cups for over $35 each, which is waaaaaaay to much to pay for it. I made a few special order for only $10 and that was just to cover my cost in supplies. Let me know if you want one!

Summer is here and now I am wondering what to make the new batch of teachers for the beginning of the year. Hmmmm???

ODBD Challenge for OWH

Greetings for Sunny and Hot Phoenix!
This is my card I made for Operation Write Home ODBD Challenge. Every month ODBD sponsors OWH with postage to mail boxes of cards to our deployed Heroes. If 50 cards are submitted, they pay for 2 boxes to be sent. Last month, we barely made the challenge by the skin of our teeth. I have never submitted a card to this challenge, I just admired all the submissions. However, since last months challenge, I told myself I was going to get more active with my favorite Non-profit organization and attempt the challenges. :)
So here it is, my first submission. They challenge was anything but square or rectangle. I went with a circle. I used October afternoon paper and a cute digi from Melonheadz Illustration.
This a quick post via my iPhone to attempt to submit my card. :)
Have a nice day!

Hello OWH and Hoppers!

Thanks for Hopping to my Blog! I am super excited to participate In OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop! 
When making these cards, I went for the CAS look with bright colors. Here are my cards that I made using S&S Sketch #122. I couldn't decide on which sketch to use. I asked my kids and hubby...they couldn't pick just one, so I decided to do a random drawing and this was the winner! Sorry, I can't remember where this paper is from. I am a hoarder and I have too much paper from just about every company that ever made scrapbooking paper! (I know, it's horrible)  The second card, I used SPLASH by Echo Park. Love this line, it is so bright and fun!

These will go into my next box for Operation Write Home! If you don't know what Operation Write Home is, visit their website http://operationwritehome.org/

Now for the sweet stuff! Check out yesterday's post for some Blog Candy! : )   Woot Woot! Just scroll down!

Happy Hopping!
