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.

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 #164


I sure liked this one for a masculine themed card.  I made a pile of these.  The sentiment is a digi from Create with TLC.

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!

Leftover Limes Challenge


In the previous post I had made 7 with the lime paper.  It would have been 8 but I made a mess out of one of them.  :(  Anyway, in trying not to add to the scrap pile I used the rest of the papers to make three of these.

OWH Sketch #207

Here is the OWH Sunday Sketch for today!  I'm so jazzed!  I got this one done on the day it came out.  I had wanted to use these 2 papers today because they looked kind of spring/summer-ish, but wasn't sure I could make it work for this sketch.  It is definitely different than any other card I think I've made.  :)

OWH Sketch 205 - By the Pile!

The OWH Sketch for Dec 29, 2013 is posted here. 
I liked it so much that I made these 11 cards. 
The sentiment featured is a free digi from Paula.
All the hearts are made glossy with Dimensional Magic.
This is an awesome sketch for using up all that leftover paper still sitting on my table!
The red plaid on this last one is really cool in that the stripes are all shiny embossed.  Thanks for visiting!

ODBD January 2014 Challenge - Stripes!


Good afternoon and Happy New Year to all!  ODBD continues to be a strong partner with OWH in sponsoring the shipping of 2 boxes a month for any month that OWH cardmakers post 50 cards to the link.  This month the challenge is stripes.  How about stars and stripes?  I know the picture doesn't show it but the stripes are all shiny red.  Thanks ODBD!
