Labor Day - OWH Virtual Cardmaking Party - Woo hoo!

The first challenge is from Our Daily Bread designs, who regularly donates postage money to Operation Write Home.  I have been wanting to try the triple stamp technique ever since Cherie and her friends showed it to me at the big OWH card making bash last week.  I used Kim's Stampin' Up fall leaves stamps and I love how these turned out.  I'll be making more and this technique is really fun!

The second challenge is a recipe - image, patterned paper and words.  Easy peasy!  The stamp is from Snake Oil Sam and I stamped it multiple times, then cut out of few and put them on pop dots.  I made a bunch of these kits for last week but ended up bringing them home.  The other Cardaholics and I are planning on getting together in a few weeks to finish putting together all our kits that were left over and hopefully that will take care of coloring in Pennsylvania on the OWH Birthday party map. 

Third challenge!  Snowflakes but  no Christmas!  Did I mention how much I love doing these blog hops just because I am constantly reminded of stuff I have that I don't use?  This is one of those stamps.  I wish I had remembered to write the company on the back, but I didn't.

The fourth challenge turned out to be triple stamping, and I thought, woo hoo, I get a little break.  Well, I went outside to sit on the porch and read a magazine.  I glanced up and noticed a huge spider web attached to one of my hanging plants and a porch post, and the rest is history.  I used a spellbinders die set and had to fussy cut the silver layer myself.  The worst part of this project was that I decided to heat emboss the silver spider web and it was tough to pick up the pieces without messing up the image.

I really wrastled with the fifth challenge!  I reckon it's coz I couldn't find any horse or western rubber anywhere in my corrall!  I got me some swell Dustin Pike digis awhile back and so here ya go, pardners!

And that's it for me for the night!  Thanks for looking in!
