Operation Write Home Challenge #161


Happy Sunday everyone.  I hope everyone is cozy this wintery day.  Here in Western Colorado we have signs of spring, then last night it snowed a couple inches of snowed!  Oh well, a legit excuse to make cards!  I'm in the need of more Hero cards, and I think today's is just the ticket.  Possibly a bit busy, but it works for me.  Have  a great day!



P.S. Thanks to all who commented, somehow my original post earlier was lost.  Yikes!

  10. Cheryl,

    So glad you re-posted because I tried to leave a comment for the first posting.

    I really, really like this paper combo -- and think it works because the stripes are so strong. And, the stars framing the focal point oval are so cute!

    I've use this sentiment before, but had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.

  11. Terrific card Cheryl. I don't think it's busy at all. The large sentiment and red matting, plus the accent stars, draw the eye right to this focal point. The striped paper really does balance out the star paper. Thanks for playing!

  12. I love your patriotic card, and especially the sentiment! I know what you mean about that snow. It doesn't want to go away:)
