In the Mood to Craft

I went ahead last night and chose 2 pieces of card stock and 2 pattern papers to use for the Sunday sketch challenge at Operation Write Home http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/10/sketch-challenge-90.html. My hope is to use the challenges to be consistent in my card making. It was nice because the sketch worked perfect and I could mix and match so the cards are similar but slightly different. I also don't think these turned out too feminine.

I was feeling very crafty last night and finished up all the cards below that had been in pieces waiting on glue. The bird Christmas began from scratch last night. I would never have used lime for Christmas. I found those cute bird images at http://beccysplace.blogspot.com/. I made about 8 variations on this card. I like the snowman with the love theme. His lasso ends in a heart. I would like to make more of these. The penguins and snowmen were created in inkscape. I still love the Light up Life Snowman. I like the use of orange and green on him for some reason. It would be good for a winter card not just Christmas.

Well I have made a commitment to myself to do the challenge this morning and then get my house clean today! I so want to make some more cards....
