ODBD January Challenge - Any Hero Card

What a great way to start off 2015 at Operation Write Home than to have our challenge for ODBD to be making Any Hero cards!  The background on this is a bit glossy and the twinkly stars are all stickers  mounted on cardstock and then popped.  Also the "U's" in USA are shiny and it is part of a cardstock border sticker from K&Co.   

OWH Top 14 of 2014

The following is a collection of some of my favorite cards that I made during 2014.  This past year was very hard as my husband passed away in April and my favorite aunt (like a second Mom) passed away 30 days later.  So much has happened in these 8 months and most of it NOT good at all so I am quite surprised that I have 14 cards to post for this blog hop.  I hope you like these as much as I liked making them for our deployed Heroes!

These scrap cards were inspired by Seongsook and I loved mixing and matching all the papers.

OWH Sketch #164, kind of a masculine hello card.

 

What's not to love about patriotic Any Hero cards?

 

This one was from the OWH Cardbowl celebrating Superbowl weekend. 

 

OWH sketch #218, I love that the papers did all the work!

 

In honor of my husband you used to always critique and encourage my cardmaking.

 

I know this one is fairly simple but it IS the only image that I hand colored this year.  I love this stamp!

 

This one started out as OWH sketch #152 and then took a wander.  I do rather like it!

 

This one was nuts!  The fall leaves were thin stickers that I mounted on cardstock and then cut out.... yeah, I made several of these..... took forever but I really did like them!

 

This was actually made from scraps.  I loved all the swirly patterns and colors.

 

More scrappy cards inspired by Cindy.

 

For me, kids cards are always a challenge but this one was extra fun to make.

 

On this one I liked all the bits and textures.

 

And last but not least, my FAV card of the holiday season filled with sparkle and bling!
