OWH Spotlight

Hello friends! I'm so honored and excited to share some cards with you. I was asked to make samples for this week's Operation Write Home sketch challenge! Here are my samples and info, and you can play along. Simply create a card using the sketch and link it up on the OWH challenge post.

I used Bo Bunny patterned papers, Gina K pure luxury cardstock and stamps, EK Success and Martha Stewart punches, Hobby Lobby ribbon, Sizzix and Cuttlebug embossing folders, Memories and Distress inks, Prima flower, seed beads and fishing line.

Now, you don't have to make your cards for OWH, but it'd be nice if you did. We just passed 1 million cards shipped to our heroes, and we're starting on the 2nd million. There are a few requirements for cards being shipped out to our deployed military, but that's easy to follow. Read up on the OWH blog.

It's your turn, so get busy!

More OWH Stuff

It's been a busy week. I worked on art journal things part of this week, but I did manage a little card time for our overseas Heroes.

I made a whole bunch similar to this, with different colors and arrangements. You can see these and more in my gallery at Stamp TV. I used Gina K's pure luxury cardstock and Basic Grey patterned paper. The images are from By The Sea (Theresa Momber) and Vintage Chic (GKD), Ranger Ink distress inks, Copic markers, misc. twine, eyelets and embossing powder. I also pierced the lower right corner and added rhinestone accents to the corners and the light of the lighthouse.

What ya think? Did I do ok? I hope you have a great weekend (what's left) and a good start to your week. See ya soon!

More OWH Goodness

Here are a few other cards I made for the big OWH hop over Memorial Day.

You can click on any image to enlarge it. All stamps are from Gina K Designs, and I used her cardstock as well. Patterned paper is Basic Grey. Side note: the ring in the lower right corner of the last card is a flattened milk jug seal ring.

Thanks for stopping by - I'm always happy to share a little sweetness with you!

Manly Cards

Here's some of my recent work. I really took a lot of inspiration from Theresa Momber from Stamp TV for these cards. She is one of the best scenery background creators I know.

I used stamps from Theresa's Sending Sunshine, Gina K pure luxury papers, and going grey ink from SU.

The train is from Theresa's set, Life is Good. I added the scrollwork from Lovely Labels 3, sentiment from Springtime Silhouettes, and trees from Follow Your Dreams. I love how these sets all work together. Gina and her artists are nothing short of genius!

These will be heading overseas to our Heroes to send back to their families. If you would like to help our heroes stay in touch with home, check out Operation Write Home.
