Here is my card for the week: It’s quite awesome to personalize a card. That’s the beauty of a handmade card, right?. 🙂 This one is for my Grandmother, who recently turned “29”. 😉

This card feels put-together & a lil’ spunky, just like her! 🙂

My card was made with supplies from My Favorite Things:

This is a spunky, fresh color combo. I thought this crisp look played nicely for gratitude today 🙂 !I made a second card. This sentiment gets such a workout on my desk. 😉

I thought the sentiment from Penguins in Paradise paired well with this little cutie Penguin from BB Toastly Greetings.Just makes me say awwwwwww. 🙂

Hopefully the design gets the laugh across 🙂 . The sketch shows feathers— I saw marshmallows. 😉I thought I would share this photo. I made another card series for friends and family because they helped me with some fundraising. This card design was for MFT Color Challenge #29. Check out that post HERE.

It is fun to see them all together after. 🙂

Lawn Fawn & Caring Hearts…

The problem with cardmaking:There are so many fun products to use! 🙂 I have missed using one of my favorites, Lawn Fawn. So I got these little penguins out because I wanted to make a couple more cards for The Caring Hearts Card Drive. My crafty friend Vera Yates is embarking on her 6th year hosting this card drive. What an undertaking! Vera is surely brightening the holidays for many, many people. Be sure to check out the info and get your cards in the mail yesterday!! The deadline is this week! ❤

Here is one of my finished cards. I’m mailing all my cards tomorrow! 🙂

I usually go with gray penguins, but I thought I’d mix it up. They are also sparkly in person. 🙂 I am also happy because of the current Lawnscaping Challenge #118! Hooray! Be sure to check it out. 🙂 I enjoy a fun challenge! 🙂

Lawn Fawn supplies: Winter Penguin, Love ‘n Breakfast. 😉

Thanks for popping in!

My Favorite Things: Sketch #255

MFT Sketch Challenge #255 begins today on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog! Hope you can find some crafty time and join us! There is a MFT Gift Card waiting to be had! 🙂

This week’s sketch:

Here is my take this week:

I thought this was a fun and WAY different color combo for me. I flipped the sketch, swapped the rectangle for a circle, and put it all together! 🙂I didn’t get around to making a second Sketch card this week. I’ve been trying to get a little ahead and also making MANY cards for friends and family that have been kind enough to help me on my fundraising efforts. I’m so grateful. 🙂

I originally made a card almost identical to these for Sketch #245. 🙂 I’ve made and completed just these cards, so far. They look awesome together! This is typically not my thing, to make many of the same card. But for the right cause(s), I did it! I think the best part is designing the cards and picking the products, so I rarely make doubles+ etc. 😉
