OWH Sketch #162

The snow has finally melted and I finally was able to get my outside Christmas lights down today.  I was afraid it wouldn't be until summer at the rate we were going!  This week's sketch over at Operation Write Home hinted at being perfect for Mother's Day cards.  I agree.  Hope you enjoy my take on the sketch, wishing all a great week ahead!

OWH Mid-Week Challenge

This week's throwdown is a recipe.  Oh, I love recipe's, spicing things up even more.  One of my favorite sketches is OWH #142, the focal point is perfect for the use of twine.

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!

Happy President's Day weekend everyone!  The wonderful, ever inspiring folks over at Operation Write Home are hosting a Virtual Card Making Party all weekend long.  The creative team will be challenging us to make 10 different cards, WOW!  The first stop on the party train is Erika @ scrappinintervention.blogspot.  She challenged us to use zig zag prints.  Oh, the energy, what a great way to jump start the party!  Hope you have a great weekend in whatever you do!

OWH Sketch Challenge #159

I'm so excited, I bought another 6x6 pad.  I think I could get addicted to these!  I love the script background that already had the pink floral pattern "stamped" on it.  So easy to pull out the color.   At any rate, although I didn't follow the sketch exactly, I was pleased with the outcome just as well.  Best wishes for a great week!

OWH Sketch Challenge #158

I just love last week's sketch, so versatile, especially if you have a wonderful rectangular digi, like the one I found at Paula's blog.  Although the east coast got hammered with a ton of snow, Western Colorado is warming up touch a touch.  I'm already thinking spring!
