Cards for OWH

Hello,

It's about two weeks since my last post.  Sorry about that.  There are so many fun challenges at OWH S&S Blog.  However, I couldn't keep up.  Not only busy working but also I have been down physically and emotionally.  Every morning, I had to drag myself to get out of the bed.  Hopefully I can get better soon and bring my energy and creativity back. 

Here are some make-up cards that were from last OWH Cardmaking Party and some additional cards that I made to fill up the second box of 270 cards for OWH.  I sent the first box of 215 cards before the due date for Halloween cards.  So it will be total 485 cards from our group in September.  Great job, everyone!

It was a successful day.

Thanks to Susan, Joanie, Janet, Kathy, Sandra, Karen, Caro Lou, Allison, Catherine and her daughter, Zack, Carla and Joan for participating in today's OWH Cardmaking Party.  Thanks for your contribution, time and efforts for this great cause.  You are all appreciated. 

I havent' count all the cards yet because I was busy taking all the photos to upload here to share with you all.  I created a collage.  Please click it to see a larger picture.

Mahri's Giraffe Love card

Mahri is 3rd Grade artist.  She drew this image for me to make cards for OWH.  I replaced her handwritten sentiment with my computer generated font.  Other than that, I kept her original image even by piecing.  I like how it turned out.  I used the background papers from Stampin' Up! and heart border punch from Martha Stewart.

Coloring with Reinkers using Baby Wipes - Gratitude

This is so fun technique that you should try if you haven't.  Every stamped image turns out in different shade of colors.  One thing to remind, you have to use glossy papers.

Ruffled Happy Birthday cards

To make these two cards, I used one of beautiful Japanese Origami papers that are from Tricia.  The colors of papers are gorgeous.  Thanks to Tricia!  I am going to make card kits for her to assemble as an assignment per her wish.  HA!
