I'll Be Home For Christmas... quick & easy card

Yesterday while I had some time before the kids were due home from school and I had to go to the bus stop and pick them up.. 1 mile from the house, I put together two of these Christmas cards.

They were super easy to make. I used a tree stamp from a Stampin' UP! set that I bought last year and I paired it with a sentiment from a new Hero Arts ~ Operation Write Home set called Winter Wishes. Some ribbon, a scallop border, rounded corner and it's done. super easy!

Hey Lil' Monster... HUGE Hugs !!! cards for kiddos

My cards are based off this week's OWH Sketch Challenge #135. I bought a bunch of papers from Tuesday Morning and had to use them on some cards (justifys purchase you know!.. ha ha) I ended up making 8 of these cards so far. When I took the pictures I had three done.. but kept on making them. The card bases are this really cool holographic paper and the "monster/alien" layer has shiny stuff on it.. such neat papers. I hope the kiddos that receive them enjoy them.



here's the OWH sketch I used:

Hey Lil' Monster... hope you have a monster sized birthday!!

I decided to make another card for this week's OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge, which is to make KIDS cards. I pulled out a Hero Arts set that I got when I bought a big lot of stamps from someone a while back.

I paper pieced the "monsters" and when I was done with the card I set out to find the "googlie eye".. and could only find a pack of small ones. I know I have more, I even have some with eyelashes.. but they are not in any of the drawers/bins downstairs.. they are probably among one of the boxes that are stuck upstairs in a closet.. maybe I'll find some time next week and see if I can look through the boxes to find some of the bigger ones.
