Unity challenge

I made these 2 cards for the Unity challenge on Unity's facebook page. They post a different challenge each week. This week we are to use these 3 fall colors: yellow/orange, maroon, and olive green. This is what I came up with...

For the background of this card, I used my Koi watercolors and painted on the colors onto watercolor paper. I let each color dry before adding the next color so they wouldn't run into each other. This owl is from a Unity set called "Going to be OWL-RIGHT" and its one of my favorites from them.

For this card, I used my Memento markers and stamped directly onto the stamp in the different colors. Then I added some sequins. This Unity stamp is called BFF. 

Some cat cards I made for my Cards for a Cause

I dug out my cat stamps and made these cat cards for Cards for a Cause at Splitcoast Stampers.

Thanks to Brenda and Karen at Stampers Alley for helping me come up with this design. No stamps were used in making this card. My sister did the inside of the card and I just printed them on my printer.

All 60 cards done and in the mail!

Charlie's granddaughter Amber is getting married in December so i got these done over the Labor Day weekend.

For the month of September, the Cards for a Cause over at Splitcoast Stampers is the Tri-County Humane Society in St. Cloud, MN.  I bought the perfect dog stamps at the W. Springfield stamp show and I've been waiting to ink them all up. Each month they pick a different organization who needs cards donated to them. I've been donating to this great cause for about a year and each month I look forward to seeing who they will pick.  I think I need to go through my cat stamps and make some cat cards next!!

Autumn themed cards for Unity Stamps challenge

I went outside and picked up some leaves. I added ink to the leaves, then I ran the leaves and my paper through my Big Shot. I love how the leaves came out. Stamp sentiment from Unity Stamps.

Again, this one I also added ink to this one leaf that I found outside.
I used Memento inks and colored the leaves, then mashed it on
the piece of paper using my Big Kick. I love how detailed the leaf
came out. 

This is one of my favorites by Unity. I made this card for Splitcoast
which for September is Tri-County Humane Society.

I haven't posted anything in over a year???

I know its been over a year since I posted anything on my blog. But guess what? I decided to come back and start posting my cards again.  Not sure if I have anyone still following me but I am going to start participating in some card making challenges and for that I need to put cards on my blog so why not get started back posting to my blog???????

Here are a few cards I've made this summer ... 

This was my favorite "go to" stamp set this year that I got at the W. Springfield stamp show when I went to Massachusettes this past June.  I love this stamp set by North Coast Creations and its called You're the Bomb!

Back to school card I sent to my friend Cindee in California.

Each month I participate in Cards for a Cause over at Splitcoast. You can check it out here. Each month they pick a different cause and I really enjoy making the different cards that they need. It makes me get out my stamps that haven't seen ink in a long time and I get the cards made and then they all go to a great cause.

I usually send in between 12-20 each month.





So let's hope I can continue with my blog and post my creations. I just hope I still have some followers. LOL
