Operation: Write home

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Mine was busy churning up a mass production of these special Christmas cards for an awesome organization I came across a couple of weeks ago. "Operation Write home" asks for the crafty public to send in their own creations to their organization, so they in turn send them to the troops over seas. Then the troops will have your awesome creations to send to their love ones for the holidays. What a great idea!! So I've been comtemplative thinking of cards to match their criteria. So far this is what I came up with, and I hope they like them.

If its something you would like to participate in, you can read more about this awesome organization at

Well I hope you like these, I'll post some of them in detail. thanks for stopping by. Tooddles.

Merry Christmas, OCC sketch challenge

Hi again, I wanted to share another OCC challenge. This week involves a sketch challenge so I wanted to add my own twist and ideally that's what they do... is to get you to interpret in your own way what you what do with such sketch. They don't always have to bet exactly the same.

Also, if you've noticed I usually use a lot more paper on most of my cards, but this time I wanted to keep it more simply and spare all the layers and I think it looks pretty good. i hope you like it.

Christmas gifts

Hello everyone, i hope you're having a good week so far, the weekend is coming soon and the weather is changing again... that's Southern Cali for ya? I just got over a cold, thankfully is wasn't the H1N1, but you can't be too careful. So i was out of commission for a while, but I'm back and the fog from my brain is clear..lol. I got this sketch from the splitcoast site, so I hope you like it.

Sparkle!

Hi everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend. It's starting to feel more like the fall these days with the winds and the chiily nights . . . . . I love it! It's time for another Mojo challenge, and to go with the chilly days coming soon, I wanted to make a card representing shiny stars and dark blue skies. I hope you like it. Tooddles.

Knock, knock!

Good morning everyone, I hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. So I got up this morning feeling inspired to do a Halloween card since its so close. I have the "From the crypt" set from Stampin' Up! that I haven't done much with. It's seems like everyone wants to skip right over to Christmas, which I get, because it's so much prettier to create. So I hope you like this one as much as I do. Tooddles.

Let it snow!

Happy Friday everyone! Here's this weeks OCC challenge . . . to create a monochromatic card. I really enjoyed seeing this card come to life. I liked how the two different snowflake paper gave it an extra boost. I've always been loyal to Stampin' Up! but I was turned on to Inkadinkado's current christmas line. I absolutely love anything that has to do with "Filigree"... it makes the images more elegant. I hope you like. Tooddles.

Hello, thanks for visiting. Todays card comes from this weeks Mojo sketch. It took me a while to come up with just the right paper, but I think it came out alright. the Quote in the middle came from a small onion scratch pad I had a while back thats made for scrapbook sentiments and quotes. I hope you like, tooddles.
