Color Me Silly Frog

I made this card for Project Sunshine and Smiles over at My Cricut Craft Room.  They are collecting cards for the children at St Jude's Hospital to fill their day with sunshine and smiles!  I stumbled across this blog and project only last week and made some cards to get to them ASAP since their original deadline was today but thankfully they have extended their deadline by nearly TWO MONTHS which gives me plenty of time to make lots of cards to cheer up a sick child's day!  If you are interested in making cards for this great cause then check out Erica's blog for all of the info.  Cards must be postmarked by August 25th so there is still plenty of time to get crafting and bring a smile to a sick child's face! 
The finished card is 5x7.  I cut the frog at 3 1/2" from Give A Hoot.  The papers I used are some fun (and ancient) papers from Basic Grey from a collection called Color Me Silly.  The sun is from an old Unity KOM (July 2009) and the sentiment is also Unity (Watermelon Gazpacho Soup).  And googly eyes of course cause I just love googly eyes on kids cards!!!

Mickey Mouse and Pals

I love making kids cards for OWH, they're probably my favorite to make.  These were just some quick cards I made using some fun Mickey Mouse papers.  I love the comic strip paper and the contrast of the bright and cheerful characters!  I left them sentiment free so that they could be more readily used.

I made about 10 of these with different colored cardstock and slight variations.  The characters are "popped" up with dimensional tape.

Love cards for OWH

I've been working on getting some cards done to send to Operation Write Home and these are for their 2nd Million Challenge due June 30th.  I know they're kind of valentiney, can you tell I was using up some old papers!?!  The labels are cut from Spellbinders dies and the sentiments are Unity stamps heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Sweet Day

This might just be the simplest card I've ever made!  I needed some craft time tonight but wasn't feeling all that crafty (more like exhausted mama) so I was just playing around trying to get something made when this came about.  When I showed it to my husband he said he liked it of course (he's sweet and says that about everything I make) but he also said it looks professional!?!  I laughed at that cause it took me less than 5 minutes to make and he probably only said that because it's not covered in my usual assortment of buttons and ribbon with extra stuff everywhere.  :)  Sometimes simple is good.  The stamps are Unity and I colored them in with my copics and finished it off with a gem as the cherry on top, viola!  Made a few of these to send in my shipment to OWH at the end of the month.

Love ya for OWH

I made a few of these cards for OWH to include in the box that I'll be mailing before the end of the month.  The paper is Graphic 45 and I distressed the edges of the cream cardstock with TH's antique linen distress ink.  The sentiment is Unity and the heart flower stamp is Penny Black.  This is one of favorite sentiment stamps ever since I am always signing everything I send to my friends with Love ya and the font is very cute too!

Sunny Summer Smiles from Snoopy

My 2 year old daughter loves Snoopy so I have a few Snoopy stamps laying around!  I made this card to send to the St. Jude's Childrens Hospital to hopefully bring a smile to a sick child's face.  I plan on making some more this evening for Operation Write Home.  The sentiment stamp is Unity.

Vintage thinking of you

A quick card I made this evening for Operation Write Home.  I needed a some craft time tonight after putting the kids to bed since both of them fought naps today and had meltdowns at our friends BBQ today.

The car stamp is from Technique Tuesday stamped with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.  The papers are My Mind's Eye.  I used my Cricut to cut the stars at 1 1/4" and tied some twine through a couple of buttons to finish it off.
