Birthday Hues of Blue & Yellow

This week was the start of a new Color Challenge at THE OUTLAWZ! I wanted to play along since I have been feeling crafty this week. How about you? Come share your cards with us at THE OUTLAWZ!

CAS Challenge at The Outlawz!

 I decided to whip up a card for the CAS Challenge at The Outlawz. I haven't played in the other challenges like I have wanted. So today I played with my crafty supplies and quickly made this card for fun!

It's Monday.. a fun day for a challenge!

It is Monday and that means it is the beginning of this weeks Greetings Challenge at The Outlawz. The design teams inspiration cards are so very different and that is what I love about these challenges is seeing all the creations from week to week using the same themes. For my card I focused on Thanksgiving. I have been writing my Halloween letter insert for my cards to the soldiers so I have the Fall themes on the brain. 

If you want to know more about the theme of this challenge and interested in looking at some different inspiration come check us out at The Outlawz!

Mamabears Holiday Cards Received

I received my two cards in exchange from Pat M. for Mamabears holiday card swap 
the theme is Pink & black. 

Greetings Challenge August 22

 

This week at The Outlawz we have an easy challenge for everyone to be able to participate. For my card I used a digi drawn by one of our very own design team ladies at The Outlawz, Anne Fenton! As some of you may know my husband loves to fly fish so this was a perfect male digi for me! I admit I had difficulty coloring it but I went with it and I think it turned out fantastic! 

The ladies and I on the design team for the Greetings Challenge would love to see what you create so come take the challenge there are lots of prizes, all you have to do is have fun creating and then show us your stuff! :D

Anysoldier Halloween Swap Hostess Gift

Isn't this cute! I really enjoy making these matchbook tea bag holders. This is themed Halloween for the hostess of the Anysoldier.com Halloween Card swap.  I hope she enjoys it as much as I did making this for her! :D

Mamabears Pink & Black Card Swap

Time for another swap at Mamabears! The theme this time around is Pink & Black. I dug these two cards out of my stash that I have made over the last year and a half. It might be cheating a little but as long as it is handmade and out of my stash I don't feel guilty. I am so pleased that I actually had cards in these colors pre-made!  I have a few other projects I have been working on in the past few weeks along with back to school shopping with my daughter so it was nice not to have to stress about this project I am partaking in. Thanks to all the swappers at Mamabears for helping make these swaps happen!

For The Birds

It has been the longest weekend and guess what I am so ready to get another challenge posted under my belt! We have such a fun challenge for you this week! The theme is For the Birds, I know you have some bird related items in your stash you have been wanting to use. So come share with us your creation with a greeting at THE OUTLAWZ Greetings Challenge! Just for entering your creation you have a chance to win some awesome prizes!!

Anysoldier Halloween/Thanksgiving/Fall Card Swap

The 20 cards for the Anysoldier.com card swap are due at the end of September. I had some free time on my hands to whip up a set of 14 quick cards and get 6 out of my card stash that I have made over the past year. I will be sending these 20 cards to the Hostess of this swap and she will then sort them out to the other fine ladies and we will have a mixed set of cards to send to our soldier of our choice. I personally pick out a soldier from the list provided at Anysoldier.com and as they return home I pick out new soldiers out of the list to send their requested supplies along with the greetings cards from the swaps. 

I would love to have cards from every state of the USA to send in my packages and this is the next best thing. Most of the ladies and gents that participate in the swap are all across the countryside so it is really neat to have their letters and cards to send to that special soldier of choice. 

If you think your interested in helping out in some way feel free to contact me or go to Anysoldier.com!

Mamabears Card Swaps & more..
