Operation Write Home Virtual Card Making Party Challenge #2

Creatures great and small! Operation Write Home http://operationwritehome.org/ is hosting a blog hop and virtual card making party this week end and this is for the second stop on the hop: http://deliteful-gifts.blogspot.com/2013/02/owh-vcmp-all-creatures-great-and-small.html Critters! Puppies, cats, elephants, seals... critters is the challenge! I don't do digi's that was an optional part of the challenge. Here's my Hello! Octo! card:
 My PLM (Please Love Me) box doesn't have any digi's so I pulled an image I had already stamped and colored but hadn't loved enough to give a home. I added more color (shading) and some pearl pen to her and a sticker flower that was wanting desperately to be adopted by a project.Those rock stickers had been so lonely in my PLM box I had to use those as the bottom of the sea. Oh, I had the Ric rack out from the first challenge on the Operation Write Home Virtual Card Making Party blog hop http://scrappinintervention.blogspot.com/2013/02/zig-zag-your-cards.html There she is mini Octo.saying hello.  Now it's your turn.... You Design it

Operation Write Home Virtual Card Making Party! Challenge # 1

I enjoy making cards for our military to send home to their loved ones through OWH (Operation Write Home) and this weekend OWH http://operationwritehome.org/ is having a blog hop full of challenges. As always, I'll be using my Please Love Me boxes (only things I already have on hand that need a new home). http://scrappinintervention.blogspot.com/2013/02/zig-zag-your-cards.html is the first hop on the blog. The first challenge is to use a zig zag pattern or cheveron. I don't own any cheveron but I do have some ric rac ribbon.

I decided to use it as the stems for a garden scene being visited by a lovely little fairy instructing me to make a wish... *cheveron? lol So there is my take on zigzag from my PLM supplies.Now it's your turn... You Design it....

Valentine Card

My goal this year is to use as much as I can of what I have on hand.My PLEASE LOVE ME boxes! I have all these things that are sitting there waiting to be loved enough to be placed on a project, any project, like homeless puppies or kitties. No, no, not as sad as that but... these elements, papers, stickers, ribbons, need a home! A place to shine brightly and bring joy so....  
I saw a challange on yourpaperpantry to use cardboard so here goes: 
So, I had everything in my "please love me" (scrap) boxes. The cardboard came via a scrap pack I just had to buy when I was starting out and had no scraps. Red cardboard??? I truely thought I'd NEVER have use for it. Now to use the blue, green, and rainbow pieces... The butterfly punch is MarthaStewart and its a Recolection boarder on the red cardboard. The stamped love image was in my stash as well. For a piece of scrap I thought I'd never use, I really like how it turned out. Now it's your turn... You Design it...
