Character Cafe Thursday

This is my last card as a guest DT for Character Cafe. I am submitting it to Cute Card Thursday. The challenge is to use a lot of "text".   It has been a lot of fun working with the other DT members at the Character Cafe.

Love Bug

The Paper Cutz Challenge this week is a color challenge. Use only red, black, yellow, blue and white.

Materials:

• Paper from K&Company
• Image from Inktegrity
• "Summer" from JoAnn Essentials

A Friend for a Lifetime

There is a poem out there somewhere about how some friends are with us for a particular time or purpose and then they move on. I've been lucky enough to have few friends that have been there through those times and for those purposes and they are still here.
Soft Pencil DT is using "Molly In Spring" this week. She looks just as happy in Summer as she did in Spring. She has a message for those special friends.

Thank you to all those friends that have stuck with me through good times and bad. Some of you have been around since high school (Mary) and others while we were raising our kids (Mom's Nite Out) and still others as kids became independent and the work force was calling (or maybe it was the checkbook). Some have been neighbors, some co-workers, some fellow musicians. You know who you are.

Bright Summer Colors at For Fun Challenges

Again we have a sponsor this week at For Fun Challenges. Thanks to the Stamping Boutique for providing the DT with images for this color challenge. Use bright summery colors - go neon if you choose. Be bright and bold and energized!

Bright enough for you?

Happy Birthday Max!

Our grandson Max is 4 years old today! Since he is into dragons I made him this card using the Doodle Dragon image.

Wheeee - Got Wheels!

It was so difficult to choose an image for this week's Paper Cutz Challenge card. The theme is wheels. With grandchildren I have collected a lot of images of children and children play with bikes and wagons and big trucks and little cars and.... doll buggies. Well, maybe not the boys, but the girls love them.

Materials used:

• Papers from We R Memory Keepers and from HOTP
• Image from Phindy's Place
• Fabric Sticker from Paper Wishes (possibly HOTP)
• Rocking Horse charm bought in bulk on eBay a couple of years ago

GIft Card pocket

Ever drop a gift card out of a birthday card when you take it out of the envelope? When you send someone a gift card do you worry that they'll lose it? This is a pocket card. It starts as a trifold card and then pockets are added on the 2nd and 3rd pages. Slide a sentiment or photo in one pocket and a check, cash or gift card in the other.










This was not a random choice of cards. The challenge at The Character Cafe is to make a pocket card.
I printed a second copy of the digi and colored/cut out just Froggy. He sits quite nicely in the pocket.

These are fun cards to make. Choose your papers well. I like when I find a good two sided paper. If not, I adapt. Let's see some pocket cards!
