Happy Birthday Snow Angel

Hello everyone!  Short fall, shorter days, and still not enough time for cards!  I stole a few moments tonight to design a card for this month's Mid-Month Throwdown Challenge over at Operation Write Home, creating a winter birthday card.  In addition, I doubled up with Our Daily Bread Designs challenge using snowflakes.  Quick post for a quick card, add to my kid section!

Miss You and Hello: OWH Sketch #238

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's a great day, time to make a few cards with the latest sketch from Operation Write Home.  I just sooo… love this sketch, so much I made two different color ways, a guys and a gals one!  I hope you liked it as much as I did!  Best wishes for a great week.


I trimmed the bingo cards down, matted, and covered the
the original sentiment with a new computer generated one.

I so love this one, I couldn't decide which I liked best to post to OWH!
