Alphabet and Sketch Challenges

 Hey Everybody,

Today's card is for the Alphabet Challenge is the letter O-oil can. I printed out an old-fashioned oil can and colored it. I added it to the scene I made. Since it's old, why couldn't it have been tossed in a field somewhere? Anyway I colored and die cut the images and added them to the designer series paper with dimensionals. I made a scene to go around the oil can. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Here is the stamp set I used for the mushroom and snail.  I got this because the images were cute and I liked the sentiments for cards I make for the hospital and nursing home. The samples I saw on Colorado Craft Company, for this set were just darling.

Here's another card I made with this stamp set.  Our sketch challenge can be found here.  

I stamped the mushroom and grass and colored with Copic Markers. The mouse was stamped and colored with Copic Markers then fussy cut. I didn't glue his tail down because I liked the dimension it gave raised up. I cut strips of paper 1/2" x 4" for the bottom and 1/2"x 3 for the top. This card will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

I have to make some more cards with this set but first I have to finish my Christmas cards. I need to finish stamping some of them. I have to print labels and also write my family annual letter that I send to family and friends that aren't local.

This week I have classes Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Mia Sunshine will be here Thursday instead of Wednesday. Papa will pick her up from preschool while I teach my last class.

This weekend I'll be going to Columbus with Tim to celebrate my birthday with my twin sister, another sister and brother-in-law and my brother.  It's been a few years since I've seen my twin so it will be wonderful, I hope! LOL

Thanks for stopping in today.

Blessings,

Sue
