Prince Lonnie Latte

Here's the other simple card I made for today. Again I've used a Stamping Boutique image, this one was a freebie. Prince Lonnie is the mate to Princess Jennifer and I think he's cooking up something special for her! He is colored with Promarkers and a bit of chalk for the background. The sentiment is one of those $1 stamps from Michael's. The papers are DCWV Summer Dream stack, which I broke down and bought since it was on clearance. A lot of the sheets will make great envelopes, so I can justify this purchase, right?? :)

Caroling Snowmen

Today I have some rather simple cards as I'm trying to up my quantity a bit. I have made these A2 size as they are being added to my stack of cards to send to Operation Write Home. As soon as I reach my personal goal of 20 cards I'll be able to send my package to them.

This card features Caroling Snowmen by The Stamping Boutique. Tracey has a lot of fun images besides her Audrey line(my fav) and this is one of them. I love it when snow people have some clothes on because it gives us a little bit more to color than just having snow. I've used one of my new Sizzix Holiday embossing folders (actually did it backwards), these are designed by Basic Grey. There are quite a few nice ones, but I limited myself to four. The papers Bazzill Swiss Dots and DCWV Metallic Silver. MS Lattice arch lattice punch, Recollections snowflake brads, Michael's ribbon, Sentiment is Studio G. Colored with Promarkers.

Sassy Cheryl #21 Cut it Out

The title of this challenge keeps reminding me of the Joey character from Full House. Cut it out was one of his catch phrases, along with some scissors hand movements to go along with it.

Anyway, my card for Sassy Cheryl's Cut it Out challenge features two Sassy Cheryl digi stamps. The one on the front was a 'before' freebie awhile ago, and the one on the inside is the matching 'after' digi. I've had it in my mind for awhile to associate age with the bubble popping, I think it's kind of funny.


The flowers on the front are, believe or not, from the Dollar Tree. I purchased them sometime last year and have just been hoarding them, thinking they are too pretty to use. Well, I can't take them with me, so I might as well use them! They came in lots of flower varieties like hydrangea, sunflower, pansies, lilies and a couple more.

I've made this card the standard size that OWH likes as I'll be sending it to them for their card drive.
The papers are the same Chloe's Closet that I used in my previous post as I'm trying to do better on using scraps.
