OWH Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge

Happy hump day everyone!  It's been a while since I've had time to even think at lending my hand to a midweek challenge, but here I am!  This week's challenge over at Operation Write Home is a color challenge, asking us to think summer and use teal and cantaloupe.  Well, I only have one piece of paper that even fit the challenge.  It's one of those multi-stack card stocks that have a pre-punch border at the bottom, one with a different bottom color than the top.  Well, I've had this pack for while, having trouble deciding what to do with it.  Since I'm limited, here goes!

The teal solid seemed to match the print much better in my craft room, oh well…. :-)  I'm wondering if I should take a snap shot of all the papers before I start, just to see if the camera says I match!  LOL!

Happy Father's Day everyone!  Our daughter took us out for breakfast, then we're having dinner with parents, but a little card making in between!  I'm a huge fan of circles, and this week's sketch over at Operation Write Home is just right up my alley.   I'm getting a jump on Christmas, as it seems I never start early enough.  Well,  here's to a great week, keep scrappin' everyone!

Love You Mom: OWH Sketch #228

Happy Sunday everyone!  This weekend is flying, a little chicken work, a little gardening and a whole lot of housecleaning!  We've been gone so much that I needed to catch up, but first this week's sketch at Operation Write Home.  I needed to make some general Mom cards, so go with my general Dad cards, and I was inspired by some flowers in my backyard.  Hope you enjoy both!

The actual card isn't quite this bright, my hubby's 5S iPhone sure brightened things up!

A little day lilies, roses and clematis.  My favorite spot in the yard!

Miss You: OWH Sketch #227

Happy Sunday everyone, hope it's the start of a great week.  We took a little vacation to attend another fabulous wedding, and to help our newly wedded kids unpacked into their new home.  We traveled by car, all the way to San Antonio.  Lots of American history along the way.  Well, it time to get back in the swing with the latest sketch from Operation Write Home.  This week, the sketch designer came up with two versions of the sketch, I'm partial to circles, so I chose version B.  Hope you have a great week.

OWH Memorial Day Bloghop

Happy Memorial Day everyone!  I'm so excited to, once again, be part of Operation Write Home's Annual Memorial Day Blog Hop!  The only rules are to use red, white and blue and to use one of the OWH sketches.  I so love this weekend, lots of great cards with equally great inspiration!  

I also love this weekend, as we all take time to remember our fallen heroes and active duty personnel for all the sacrifices they have and will make for our country.  We can't thank them enough.  A special thank you goes out to my son, Captain Tyler A, MD for his medical service to our veterans.   So without further ado, I'm off to hopping, have fun everyone!

Missing You: OWH Midweek Throwdown

Happy late night everyone, just a quick card, and an even shorter post for this week's Operation Write Home's Midweek Throwdown Challenge.  The day just flew, but I couldn't help but participate.  My husband thinks I'm addicted!! LOL!

A Sea of Browns and Blues: OWH Sketch #224

Happy Mother's Day everyone!  After a quiet breakfast out, and a lull before my young, adult daughter makes dinner, I was able to sneak in a little card making time.  This week's sketch over at Operation Write Homeis perfect for scraps and perfect without a sentiment.  This sketch is also great for this month's Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge, one which challenges us to use embossing in one's card.  So without further ado, here's my take.  Best wishes to a grand Mother's Day and a week ahead.
