Did I love this sketch or what?

This sketch by Cathy is the challenge on Mo's Challenge blog.

http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/ I adore this image of the bear hug! It is really called "Missed You" and is a Mo Manning digital stamp. It is so perfect for an Operation Write Home card. No kid who got a card with this image could miss knowing they were loved and missed. I also fullfilled the current challenge at
http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/ in which we were to use 4 legged animals. For sure we had 4 to a bear :-)

Whenever I look at this little girl with her doll I want to hug them both. Another perfect image for an OWH card. This digital stamp is called "I Love It aag". And I do. It is also a Mo Manning digital stamp.

I indulged myself with the set of 4 Mo Manning digital images with the theme of balloons. This one is "Cody's Balloon". I got the giggles while coloring this little guy when I realized his diaper shows in the gap between sweater and overalls. What a hoot!

Ok, this last card doesn't use ANY Mo Manning images, LOL. I just wanted to play with the sketch one more time. The images are from Dover Publishing. I hand colored it just as I colored all the cards with Prismacolor pencils and oil on stubs.

Another S and S sketch #1 card

This adorable little doll is from Hero Arts. It is hard not to smile back at her. The little flowers are clear stamps that are just tiny. They made a good frame for the Asian Doll. I liked the simplified version of the Stars & Stamps sketch. The printed paper is from a DCWV stack.

See you later!

Don't you just love googly eyes? You just have to smile when you see them. And there is that fun bumpy embossing in the background. Some little guy with get this card from a special person in our military and know that someone was thinking of them. Thanks to Cards for Heroes I get to share my cards far and wide.

Stamp is from Sandy Lion, Embossing folder from Cuttlebug, plain and scalloped circles from Nestabilities, Leaves from Sizzix, sentiment printed on the computer.

To boldly go

The Atlantis lifted off today on a mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. In honor of this I am sharing some cards I made for kids featuring shuttle die cuts.
