OWH Challenge 151

I'm back with my third post of the night!  What can I say?  I'm on a bit of a roll here!

Here is Operation Write Home Sketch 151:

And this is my card:

I used DP paper from my six-by-six challenge pad, bringing my total cards to 21 cards so far.

OWH Sketch Challenge 150

I'm running about a week behind with this post, so thank goodness that there's no due date for this challenge!

I love OWH sketches!  They take all the guess work out of the challenge by including the measurements on their sketches!  How AWESOME is that!?!?  This was the sketch they released last week, Sketch 150:

And here's my card:

Yes, I know I made a Thanksgiving card at Christmas.  But I'm sucker for this adorable little squirrel by Inkadinkado   And  I can always hang onto it until next year!

I also used paper from my six-by-six challenge pad bringing my total to 20 cards so far!

CAS(E) this Sketch! Challenge #9

Happy Sunday night all!

I just wanted to post a card I made for the the CAS(E) this Sketch! Challenge #9.  This is the sketch for the week:

And here's my card:

I stamped the fun kite image from the Perfectly Perfect Day set by Avocado Arts in Tuxedo black.  I used a few Spectrum Noir markers to color in the kites.   I drew in the kite strings freehand and added the bow and sentiment from the same stamp set.

Well, that's it for this little card.  There's still some time to play along, so be sure to check out the challenge for yourself!

Six-by-Six Challenge Post 5

I'm back with the fifth installment of the six-by-six challenge.

This is the sketch I used for today's cards, OWH Sketch 1:

And these are my cards:

That's four more cards for a total of 19 cards so far!

ODBD December Challenge

Hi All,

The monthly Our Daily Bread Designs December challenge on the OWH blog is to create a card with flowers on it.

This my card:

I used a floral paper from Pebbles Seen & Noted Collection.  I added a rub-on sentiment from DCWV.

Six-by-Six Challenge Post 4

Welcome to Post 4 of the six-by-six challenge.

I'm onto four new papers from the stack and this OWH sketch:

I have to say this has been the most challenging sketch for me thus far!  I hemmed and hawed over these cards for several days, and I'm still not entirely sure I like this batch.  Here they are anyway:

That's four more cards for a total of 15 cards so far!

Play Date Cafe Challenge 159

Last post for today, I promise!

These are colors for The Play Date Cafe Challenge 159:

Don't you just love these colors?!?!  Red, black, and white are my FAVORITE colors.  If I were feeling better, I would definitely be entering more than one card.  Anyhow, here is my card for the challenge:

I started by adhering a black and white striped paper from Fancy Pants to a white card base.   

Next I added roses from PTI's Rosie Posie set.  I die cut the roses out of red cardstock and stamped and heat embossed the rose image onto the die cuts using Versamark ink and clear glitter embossing powder.  I LOVE how the flowers turned out!

To finish the card, I added an image from PTI's Wish Big stamp set and scattered a few clear rhinestones around.

One More for CASe This Sketch

So I made another card for the CASe This Sketch Challenge 7. This is the sketch for this week:

And here is my second card:

CASe This Sketch Challenge 7

So I wanted to play along with CASe This Sketch challenge this week.  Here is the sketch for Challenge 7:

Since I was working my way through the six by six challenge, I had a couple of paper scraps lying around and decided to use this sketch.

This is the card I created:

Six-by-Six Challenge Post 3

So I'm back with my third installment of my very own six by six challenge.  I've challenged myself to create as many cards as I can from one six by six pad.

I started with the first five sheets from a pad called Reunion by My Mind's Eye and this OWH sketch:

I was able to make FIVE more cards using the same paper!  And here they are in no particular order:

So that's five more cards for a total of 11 cards.

Six by Six Challenge Post 2

Hello and welcome to post two of the  6 x 6 challenge.

For today's cards I'm using the same five papers from Post 1 and this sketch from Operation write home:

And I was able to make FOUR more cards today.  Here they are in no particular order:

Adding today's four cards, brings my grand total to six cards so far from this 6 x 6 stack.

Snowy Winter Fun!

So I happened upon this fun challenge from the Addicted to CAS blog, thanks to Dorothy.  The code word for their first challenge is "snow."

Here is the cute little card I made thinking about snow:

I love this wonderful snowy scene.  It's a journaling card from Echo Park's Winter Wishes collection.  The scene was so cute that I wanted it to be the star of the card, so I kept the rest of the card pretty simple.  

I created a simple Polaroid frame for it.  I finished off the card by heat embossing a sentiment from PTI's Vintage Picnic in silver at the bottom of the frame.

And there you have it!  A quick and simple snowy CAS card!

I hope this card serves up some winter fun  inspiration for all of us OWH card makers participating in the midweek throwdown!

Thanks for stopping by today.  And make sure to check out the Addicted to CAS blog to play along with the Snow Challenge.

Six by Six Challenge

Hello.  My name is Nathalia, and I'm a paper hoarder.  :)  I guess it's no real secret how in LOVE I am with all the cute paper that's available to us as papercrafters.  I was recently moving a few things around in my craft room and discovered just exactly how much paper I have in my stash.  Yikes!

So I plan to focus on stashing-busting, MAJOR stash-busting!

I'm starting with a method I read about in this OWH post.  The post-writer explained how she took one 6 x 6 pad of paper and turned it into 24 cards.  And this blogger managed to make 54 cards out of a single 6 x 6 pad.  How cool is that?!?!  So I'm going to give this method a whirl!  My plan is to see how many cards I can make out of one 6 x 6 pad.  So Hang onto your hats because here we go!

I've selected this pad called Reunion by My Mind's Eye as my challenge paper:

I started out with five sheets from this pad this OWH sketch:

I love using these OWH sketches.  They put the measurements on the sketch so I don't have to sit there and try to eyeball sizes!  These are the first two cards that I came up with:

So I'm at two cards from this pad so far!
