December ODBD Challenge

Gosh, it's been a while.  What a crazy busy fall it's been.  Between a family vacation to the beach, birthdays and that little month-long trip I took to Africa, I haven't had time.  I'll post on all that at some other time. Since I last posted an ODBD Challenge for Operation Write Home, I'll begin again with December's OWH.  December's Challenge is to use primary colors (red, yellow, and blue).  So here's my card

I used:

Paper: Paper Tray Ink 

Ink: Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red, Island Blue, Lemon Chiffon

Stamp: AltNew Superscript 2, Hero Arts Tiny Flags

Die cut star with glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by!

July ODBD Challenge

I'm a bit late to the party and there are already over 50 cards, but I just have to participate in this months challenge. July's challenge is "Things With Wings".  I think a bigger challenge for me would be to make a card without a feather, bird, or owl!

So here's my submission

I used Art Impressions Birthday Whoot and colored with PrismaColor.  

Paper is from We R Memory Keepers Feelin' Groovy.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch 210 and ODBD February Challenge

To finish up Card Bowl 2014, I'm posting the last two cards for the challenge.

The first is for the ODBD Card Challenge for February.  We are to make a card with brown as the primary color and for the Card Bowl it must be masculine. Here's my card, which I used Sketch #201.

I used Ki Memories Metro Garden 6X6 paper, Hero Arts OWH "Dude" fundraiser set and Hero Arts Wet Cement Ink.

For Sketch #210

I decided to go very simple with this.  Again I used Ki Memories Metro Garden 6X6 paper, My Minds Eye enamel dots, the sentiment is from Hero Arts OWH "Year Round Sentiments" fundraiser set and Hero Arts Wet Cement Ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

There is so much to look forward to this year!  In March I'll be attending the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Symposium in Tennessee.  MIL has just about booked our beach vacation in August.  But most of all, I'm going to South Africa!  I am soooooooo very excited! I applied for a grant offered by the Zoo to all keepers to do conservation work.  I'll be working with Old World Vultures with Vulture Conservation Programme (check them out here: VulPro).  Although I've been to Africa twice before, this will be my first time alone, and not strictly as a tourist.

Since it's January, ODBD posted its challenge on OWH and this months challenge is Stripes.  I took a bit of liberty w/ the stripes by creating them with 3 strips of scrap paper.  My inspiration came from Jana Millen's card.

 Here's my card:

Dies: Simon Says Stamps Pointed Feathers

Paper: My Minds Eye Darling Dear

Ink: Distress Ink Iced Spruce, Versacolor Scarlet

Embelishments: MME Smile Enamel Dots, Sekura Glaze Pen

ODBD Challenge for December

Every month, Our Daily Bread Designs posts a challenge on OWH and will donate 2 boxes of shipping for 50 cards posted.  This, month, the challenge is to create a masculine card and here's the card I created.

I used WPlus9's Fanciful Feathers stamps and dies and My Favorite Things Peekaboo Dots die.
