Well we survived Hurricane Sandy. Lost power for a day and some tree damage
but we were lucky compared to others.
I made two cards for this challenge. One for a female and one for a male. I find
male cards hard to design. This sketch was a lot of fun. I plan on using
it again.
Please feel free to leave a comment. I love reading them and appreciate
your input. You can find the OWH post here

Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge 144
OWH Sketch Challenge #143 with Tonic Studios!
Operation Write Home along with Tonic Studios has challenged us to create a card for our Troops using sketch #143.
Here’s the sketch…
I decided to create a card with a winter theme. I used Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge for the snowflakes and the coordinating winter stamp for the sentiment. I used cuddlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background. I highlighted the embossed snowflakes with Tim Holtz embossing ink. I added liquid pearls to the snowflake to give it a little dimension and sparkle. I embellished the bow with a crystal from Megan Elizabeth | Above Rubies Studio
I love the blue and white colors together. The card measures 4.25 by 5.50.
Comments are always welcome.
Operation Write Home and Doodle Pantry Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge
OWH and Doodle Pantry have decided on a color challenge for this week’s throwdown. They challenged us to make cards using black & white with a pop
of red or green for our heroes to send home to their family and friends!
I used paper from Making Memories Wedding pack and a rose sticker from Recollections. I cut out the mini tag using My Creative Time teeny tag greetings. Hope you like my card.

Operation Write Home Blog Hop
I made these cards for Operation Write Home’s blog hop. We were to use a winter theme to make cards that our heroes could use to send home to their love ones. The first one is made using Close to My Heart winter sentiment and snowflakes from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.
I used liquid pearls to decorate the snowflakes and the ink was one of Megan’s little juicy stamp pads from Above Rubbies Studio. I love the way the colors match. I added a little stickles to the bottom snowflake and popped up the sentiment and center snowflake to add demension.
The second card was made using the same cartridge and stamp set. Only this time I used the OWH sketch 139 as my inspiration. The pattern paper is from Recollections. I used the liquid pearls again to add demension and sparkle and popped up the center snowflake.
I hope you are enjoying the card hop. Please consider joining us in making cards for our heroes. It is our way of saying thankyou and letting them know we care. Feel free to leave a comment. I love reading them.

This week at Operation Write Home there is a color challenge using Red & Green! We’re to make cards using the colors Red & Green for our heroes to send home to their family and friends! I used Cricut Snow Friends cartridge to make my snowman cut at 3 inches. I added a little stickles to the snowflake on his shirt to give it a little shimmer. The paper was from a holiday pack I got last year.
Halloween card for My Fun Crafts Card Swap
Halloween card using Cricut Paper Pups
Hi,
Here is another Halloween card. I used Cricut Paper Pups. I cut the flying pup witch at 2 inches high. I used Martha Stewart Halloween paper from last year. The bats are stickers from Recollections. The haunted house is a Studio 112 stamp I got from the dollar bin at Joanns.
Sorry for the poor pic quality. It looks better in person.
Halloween card using Paper Doll Dress Up
Hi,
I made 2 Halloween cards for a card swap over at My Fun Crafts. I used Cricut cartridge Paper Doll Dress Up for the mummy and ghost cut at 2.75 inches. The paper was from a Martha Stewart Halloween pack I got last year.

The ghost is from Paper Doll Dress Up also cut at 2.75 inches. I used Matha Stewart gate punch. The ribbon was from my stash from last year. I added the goggly eyes and spider sticker.
Have a great week
Deb
