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!  

President's Weekend VCMP #1

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!

Color Theory: Part II

It's so great having a whole day to myself!  Being somewhat new to OWH, I took on the challenge to make all the sketches.  Even though I started this last summer, there were a few interruptions!  Here's today's Boot Camp Color Theory  using  Sketch #135 (sort of!) in nature colors.

Happy MLK day.  I took the day off, a rare Monday to indulge in my hobbies.  The only thing better would be warm weather and planting my garden.  Second  best, making cards!  Today's challenge offering from OWH is color theory by Paula.  I tend to go with very bright colors, so I challenged myself to use a muted analogous color scheme.  Hope it's a good day for all, card making or not!
