15/15 and I'm Done for Today!

We have a "Half and Half" challenge to do 15 "anytime" cards and 15 Mother/Father's Day cards by March 15. I'm going to use a card that I did for the current color challenge for Mother's Day cards next week but I actually "cheated" and did 20 "hello" and "just a note" cards at Scrapbooks and Etc. last Wednesday. Used the "envelope" card design I did for the "stash" challenge (patterned paper and buttons) and did 6 of the cards with some Scenic Route double-side cardstock that was especially appropriate for "guy" cards.

Lots of bad news from Chile today and now waiting to see if Hawaii gets damage.. lots of prayers needed for these folks.

Stash Challenge (Oh, no! She did it again!)....

I couldn't get the text to copy from this one but, dang it, I figured out a way to take better photos so I just deleted the original stash one as well. The OWH Special Forces of Internet Drivel will definitely be after me.. and if they can find me in the mess known as my scrap room/office, I will go willingly if they promise chocolate :)

It's a sunny Saturday in beautiful downtown Mint Hill and the Rio dog has been sunning himself on the deck while I see how much of a mess I can make with Stars & Stamps' blog! ::ducking:: I loved this stash challenge because I actually use buttons in my scrapbooking! I decided to brighten things up a bit from the pastel wonder of the baby card with a few of my favorite colors, i.e. orange and blue. I also mixed it up a bit with a "movable" card, i.e., the card message is in the "envelope" I created with the orange polka dot paper. I then crimped some orange paisley scraps and punched out the flower!

My goal is to have as easy a time taking photos and uploading them as I do thinking up cards.... don't hold your breath, ladies.... have a great weekend!!
