Valentine's Cards, All Done!

Here are all 30 Valentines I made for Cards from the Heart this year:

It was a lot of fun making these, and I'm happy to know they are going to a good cause. I tried to mix up the style of the cards, since they will go to boys and girls in a wide variety of ages at various hospitals. I hope they kids get a smile from their cards!!

Wake up!

The longer I am a stay at home mom with my kids, the more I need caffeine in order to function!  Here is my ode to the morning cup of coffee that gets me moving:

Share your cards!

As I mentioned before, I am making Valentine's cards for the Cards from the Heart card drive. They are really in need of more cards this year to distribute to kids in hospitals.

If you have a few moments to make a few cards, or have a stash of cards already made that you can modify for Valentine's Day, please consider a donation!

Here is more info on the card drive.

Thank you!!

Valentine's Cards, Part 2

Here is my second batch of cards for the Cards from the Heart card drive.

I am really enjoying making these cards, especially knowing that they are going to kids in the hospital. I hope their days are brightened even just a little bit!

Submitted Cards

I submitted a few cards to the latest Paper Crafts Magazine call and they didn't get picked. So, here they are!

This one was submitted for the nautical challenge:

And these 2 were for the water-technique challenge:

The flower one is made with liquid food coloring on wet watercolor paper. Of the 3, this is the one I thought most likely to get chosen because it's an interesting technique and I LOVE how the resulting card looks. Oh well, better luck next time!! :)
