Miss You: OWH Midweek Throwdown Florals

Happy hump day everyone and happy Midweek Throwdown over at Operation Write Home.  This week's challenge is to use flowers in your card.  Well, I'm a big country gardner, but I rarely make floral cards, usually just at Mother's Day or Easter. So… I gave it a try, but I still tried to keep it more neutral rather than feminine.  I also aimed to be a bit more CAS, but I failed!!  I really love layers, LOL!  Well, best wishes for rest of the week.

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope it was a beautiful one.  Life is getting back to normal, now that all the wedding festivities are over.  The kids never looked so beautiful!  I've included a few photos at the end of this post.  So… back to card making!  I dedicate this week's sketch over at Operation Write Home to the many folks who took part in the kid's wedding.  Just like the card, lots of details, all coming together for one great end result!

Catching Up: 222 & MWTD

Happy Thursday evening, or maybe it's TGIF for some.  Well, almost a week ago, the day finally came when my son and daughter-in-law were wed.  Wow, time flies.  Soon, I'll post a few pictures but for now, I'm trying to catch up a few sketches and midweek challenges!

This week's sketch #222 over at Operation Write Home just spoke leather jackets and belt buckles to me!  Weird, but that's what I saw, so I tried to recreate a black biker jacket look, and… it coincidently, fits this week's midweek throw down challenge:  Masculine:  Thinking of You.  Black and Grey definitely say guy to me!  Yo, Adrienne!  (Rocky, eat your heart out!).  Well, here's to catching up.  Best wishes for a great weekend,

Midweek Throwdown: Happy Birthday Mickey!

Happy hump day everyone!  It's so fun to know one is half way through the work week, but even more fun to have one of your cards chosen as part of the Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown Challenge.   This week's challenge is to make Disney birthday cards.  I had to get in on the parade and make a new card too!  So come on,  join the Mickey Mouse Club and have some fun!

Wild For You: OWH Sketch 220

Happy Sunday everyone, hope it was a good one.  Just a quick post to show this week's sketch over at Operation Write Home.  I had a little bit of trouble, not too fond of little strips, but after a few trys and using a mat for part of it, I finally got the hang of it!  Definitely, thinking outside the box for me!!!  Have a great week everyone.

Miss U More Than Hamburgers: Sketch 219

Happy Sunday everyone, is it getting warmer where you are?  I can almost taste that first BBQ picnic of the season!  This week's Operation Write Home sketch is sponsored by the fun folks at Doodle Pantry.  They have provided a ton of inspiration to get our mojo going!  I hadn't gotten around to using the digis I bought the last time around, so I thought today's sketch was perfect.  Can you smell the charcoal on the grill?!!  Have a great week everyone!
