Operation Write Home

I am currently making cards for Operation Write Home, which sends blank handmade cards to deployed servicemen and women. OWH is an amazing organization that ships thousands of cards each month to our nation's Heroes so they have something to write home on. Please check out the tag on the sidebar for more information on this inspiring mission. Please join me in supporting our men and women who sacrifice for us all.

Inspired Scrap Wrangling


For the past "little while" it seems I have been on a mission to use up the bits and pieces that are left over from card making.  These are a CASE of card for OWH from (I believe) last summer, made by Seongsook.   I made these a short time ago and decided to revisit the idea.

 
Just a note, I didn't have these square scraps in my pile.  They were cut from scraps, tossed in a pile and then put together like a puzzle. 
 
 
I made much more than I took pictures of, but you get the idea.  It was actually a nice relaxing way to make some cards while watching a show.

OWH Sunday Sketch #44


Yay!  Another one checked off the list!  I am trying to work my way through the challenges I didn't get done when they were first issued.  Yes, I have a little book that tells me which ones I have and have not done.  This was sketch #44..... well, not exact, but very close.

 
The background paper is DCWV.  I popped the sentiment to help maintain the general thickness of the bow, the pearls and the sentiment.  I had one 12x12 sheet so this made 9 cards.  I think they could be used for Mother's Day or as a general card to send home to Mom.  :)

Sending Some Hello(s)


I had made a pile of these "Hello" cards using this digi sentiment from Create With TLC
 
 
I really like this sentiment since it can be used for just about any occasion.
 
 
These next 2 were also cleaning up the leftovers and used K&Co chipboard embellishments.
 
 
 This is the same sentiment I used on the masculine cards a few posts ago.
 
 
Have a great Sunday and thanks for visiting!

OWH MWT - Color Challenge - Pastel


The OWH Midweek challenge is to bring on the pastel!  Last week's MWT was for Easter cards.
So, I did both in the same card and the yellow is for Sandy.  :)

And as a side note:  in keeping with the "use what's on the table" theme..... no new full sheets of paper were cut or harmed in the making of these cards.  The digi is from Create with TLC.

OWH Sunday Sketch #3


Today's card is using an old OWH sketch to use these papers and items from my leftovers piles.  There was enough to make 2 of these.  :)

OWH Sunday Sketch #175


I know it looks like I am just late posting this sketch.  I actually made it yesterday as a sketch I hadn't tried yet.  I have a lot of those...... ones I haven't tried yet.......... working on that.....AND more from the paper on the table.  :)  There was enough to make 2!

OWH Sunday Sketch #187


This isn't the sketch for this week.  Sketch 187 is just one I hadn't done yet so I thought I would give it a go.  I remember thinking this was going to be hard and then in a matter of minutes I had the papers picked out (from my pre-cut and scrap basket) and off it went!  I will have to keep this one in mind for future scrap wrangling!
