It's Saturday - Woohoo!

As we get closer to the end of school I am getting much busier with substitute teaching AND volunteering at my daughter's school and haven't had time to make cards during the week.  I did these cards at last weekend's scrapbook retreat with images from Melonheadz Illustrating.  They are all FREE so click the link above or in the sidebar and check out all the free images Nikki has to offer on a daily basis!  My daughter LOVES dinosaurs so I have lots of paper to use with these prehistoric images.

Since it's Mother's Day weekend, I think I'll spend MY weekend doing what I love - making cards!  I'll have new ones to post soon, so check back every day for a new card.

Bugaboo Stamp & TLC Sentiment

I just love this bear standing in the rain from Bugaboo Stamps and the TLC Creations sentiment seemed to go well with it because I really dislike rain so rainy days are difficult days for me!  We had quite a bit on Sunday and Monday this week, too.

Flip Top Card

My friend Pam (whose blog is at Scrap Rehab) showed me the cutest card she received from a Stampin' Up demonstrator as a thank you.  At the 4-day retreat last weekend, I thought I'd give it a go!  It is super easy to make; however, it's probably not the best sort of card for Operation Write Home because it doesn't open up like a regular card.  The only space to write on is the back of the card!  I had fun making it though.  I used a sentiment on the front from my snarky friend Marlene and SU stamps on the inside.  The paper is more of the Bo Bunny that was leftover from the mini album I put together over the weekend.  Love Bo Bunny paper!

Designed 2 Delight - Flutterby Fairy

This week's Designed 2 Delight Challenge uses the cutest little image called Flutterby Fairy.  I paired this image with a free sentiment from TLC Creations that seemed just perfect for my winged friend.  The paper is by Echo Park Paper - one of many collections that I bought at my 4-day scrapbooking retreat.  I'm thinking that a little girl would love to get this card in the mail from Mom or Dad who is serving in our military.

OWH Midweek Throwdown - AnyHero Card

I've loved this image ever since I saw it on one of Pam Tetrault's cards.  So, here is my submission for the OWH Midweek Throwdown.  I made about four of these at my scrapbook retreat!  It was fast and easy when I followed OWH Sketch # 22 which you can find here.

Hambo Hoedown - Heart Basket

Well, I'm back from my 4-day scrapbook retreat and the "real" world!  I made about 25 cards, completed a class of three 2-page layouts, did a few make n' takes, and got the paper on to two Bo Bunny mini albums.  I'd have to say it was quite a productive AND FUN 4-day weekend. 

One of the cards I made used the leftover paper from one of the Bo Bunny mini albums to create a card for this week's Hambo Hoedown Challenge.  We were asked to make it very frilly with lace and flowers.  I rarely make such a frilly card, but it was a lot of fun to do!

Happy Birthday, Pam!

I am still at the 4-day scrapbook retreat until this afternoon, but I made this card to take with me for my "bestest" scrapbooking friend Pam whose birthday is tomorrow!  I got this Birthday word art collage for just $0.50 from Paulette at TLC Creations.  I just love it!  She has all kinds of word art collages.  I also got the one for teachers to make cards for the end of the school year for the 2nd grade teachers at my daughter's school.  So, stay tuned in May to see that one!  Oh, and I followed S&S Sketch #16 for this card.

Pam has her own blogspot called Scrap Rehab.  Go and check it out and leave her some birthday love tomorrow (Monday, May 2).
