<br />
Well the end is near - that is for OWH - August 1st. I sent my last box in to OWH last week so I decided to make the last sketch for another hero. It is a K-9 by the name of Koda and he had been battling cancer and fought a good and courageous fight but his health had deteriorated and they had to make a heart breaking decision to lay him to rest. He served with the Vacaville PD in California for 8 years. This is the town we raised our family and many family and friends are still there - so I decided to make a card for Officer Kelli Gottlieb in honor of Koda.<br />
<br />
I also made the a card for the last ODBD Challenge - last I looked they were still short of reaching their goal. We are to make a "Thank you" card.<br />
<br />
I am wishing Sandy the best in her new endeavors and want to say Thank You to Sandy and all the many volunteers that gave so much to OWH. I've learned so much through OWH and I feel the quality of my cards improved from those cards I first sent to Sandy. I bet she shuttered when many of first started sending cards. LOL<br />
<br />
May you have wonderful journeys and I know many of us our paths will cross as we find other challenges to stretch our creative talents.<br />
<br />
Blessings to all,<br />
<br />

<br />
This is a great sketch -- this will be one that I will use often. This card will be for both this sketch and this months ODBD Challenge. I have a busy day ahead so this will be short ... I want to get this card posted before this month is totally gone. Hard to believe July is just next week. Where has these past 6 months gone? Only one more month left for OWH :-(<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a wonderful crafting weekend.<br />
<br />
Blessing to all,<br />

<br />
Wanted to get my challenge card posted before the next sketch. I am going to use this sketch for a few more cards.... I used my new die from Spellbinders. A friend and I were out on a craft shopping day and we stopped in Blue Moon Scrapbooking (check out their website) - it is actually an online store but they do let crafters like us stop in and by at the brick and mortar site. It is set up like a warehouse so you really need to look at everything. Well my friend found this die for me and I couldn't resist. We have a yellow lab and I love making doggie cards. My little Sadie was helping me today too -- sleeping at my feet in my tiny craft room while making some cards.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a good rest of the week.<br />
<br />
Blessings and hugs to all,<br />
<br />

<br />
Hope all is well with all of you -- all is well here in the desert -- beautiful weather -- warm and not too hot (yet). The theme is to make a Masculine and a Feminine card using the same card layout/design. I used OWH sketch #197, the same DS paper pack and I decided to use the same stamp as well. (I really like challenges LOL)<br />
<br />
I used some retired SU from their Print Poetry DS paper for Mid-month Throwdown Challenge. I am doing my best to use up some of my old stock of paper so I can justify buying some of the new wonderful paper this spring. Are any of you like me.... save my paper cause I might want to use it on something special later.<br />
<br />
I also am posting a couple of cards that I made for two challenges for a local paper crafters group. The first challenge is for an exchange card is Polka Dots Galore and the second one is a Mystery Item Challenge. We were given 4 black photo corners to create a card. I thought you might enjoy seeing these two cards too.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by -- blessings to all.<br />
<br />
<b>Remember</b>: OWH final cards are due August 1st and no later...... and don't forget OWH's Blog Hop this Saturday, May 23rd. I am looking forward to visiting everyone's blog - I have a class on Saturday so it won't be until late Sat or early Sunday -- I know there will be lots and lots of wonderful cards and inspiration. <br />

<br />
I just finished reading Sandy's Situation Report and I am filled with mixed emotions. I am happy that our many of our deployed heros are soon to be home but I am going to miss the fellow OWHers and all that we have learned together and of course I will miss our fearless leader Sandy -- who I have admired for all that she has done and continues to do. I really appreciate the opportunity she shared with all of us -- to touch the lives of those who have served this great country -- keeping us safe and out of harms way. <br />
<br />
It is bitter sweet - but we must carry on and help Sandy and OWH -- "Finish Strong" -- from now until August 1st, 2015. <br />
<br />
So -- here are my cards for this challenge.<br />
<br />
Thanks for checking in -- blessing to all,<br />

<br />
It is a beautiful day here in the Southwest -- cactus are all beginning to bloom - I really love to see the Saguaro in bloom - their blooms remind me of daisies.<br />
<br />
I used the sketch 252 to make my card today with a little variation ... using a single ribbon instead of two strips under the circle. The patchwork sunshine and the little corner patches are from Copper Leaf stamps and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up - "You Brighten My Day"<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a wonderful week.<br />
<br />
Hugs and blessings,<br />
<br />

Hope everyone had a good day and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms too. I enjoyed my day -- did a little card making, little bit of laundry and most important spending time with hubby and talking with my two grown kids and my sister on the telephone. All-in-all it was a great day.</div>

<br />
Just a taking a few minutes to get two cards posted for this challenge. Our challenge is to make two cards this week, one for a man and one for a woman using the same layout. I picked OWH sketch #32 to make these two cards.<br />
<br />
Been busy making cards I promised for a local organization's raffle/door prize -- so as I make one for them I make a duplicate for OWH. So you guessed it -- I made these two for OWH and then made two more for the local organization. Hope to have a nice batch ready to send off to OWH too.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I am going to case one of Jane's card in honor of Jane for our heroes. Jane was a cardmaker for OWH who sent cards since January 2010. Sadly she lost her battle with cancer. Jane's cards are featured on the <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps/">Stars and Stamps</a> blog today with a little bit about Jane Please take a minute to go visit and see her beautiful work. <br />
<br />
Thanks for checking in -- I so appreciate your visit and comments.<br />
<br />
Hugs and blessings,<br />

<br />
Just doing a little catching up on some of the past challenges. Hopefully I can find a little more time in the next few days to do today's challenge. Sure don't know where all my time goes -- anyone else feel that way sometimes? -- Just doing a quick post -- I'll come back this afternoon and post the supplies used on each of the cards. Being pressed for time I tried to combine a few of the challenges. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stoppin' in. It really means a lot to me to have your feedback.<br />

<br />
Well I managed to get one card completed today. Been busy in the kitchen and catching up on filing. I made some wonderful Granola - my sis sent me a sample and it was so yummy -- hubby and I just love it so I had to get the recipe. Now about every ten days it is granola making day. It isn't hard -- just have to remember to stir it every 15 minutes so I can't get involved in my cards -- the granola would burn up -- I get so intense and block out everything else -- LOL Anybody else like that?<br />
<br />
Anyway - on to the challenge for today -- as I said I completed one card and have a couple more in the works - I found I had purchased some digis from Doodle Pantry some time ago and now I want to make a card or two using those digis. I'll post those tomorrow or the next day. It is very nice of them to sponsor this week's sketch challenge. They made some fun sample cards too.<br />
<br />
Today's card was made using all Stampin' Up products. I list the supplies under the card.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping in and sharing your thoughts. It really means a bunch hearing from you.<br />
<br />
Hugs & Blessings,<br />

Hello --<br />
<br />
I can't believe how time flies by so fast. I've been busy creating cards and a new wreath for the front door and just don't get to my blog. I did manage to do a few of OWH challenges -- Last Sunday's Sketch Challenge 168, Bootcamp - Using Odd Numbers in Design, Tuesday Tutorial: Mirror Image Stamping, Midweek Throwdown - A Bugs Life and ODBD - April's Challenge - Things That Fly<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><b>OWH Sketch Challenge 168</b></i> - I used all Stampin' Up products unless noted DP for the two background <br />pieces from their Print Poetry 6 x 6 pad, SU card stock - Wild Wasabi and Midnight Muse, and Very<br />Vanilla. I used Vintage Wallpaper EF and the image and Sentiment is from Clearly for You (retired)<br />The ribbon is a scrap from my stash.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This card I made for the <i><b>Tuesday Tutorial - Mirror Image</b></i>. The image is from Hero Arts --<br />For some reason I had a hard time finding something in my collection that would do the job.<br />I colored these two (not my specialty) - the polka dot DP is from Stampin' Up Sunshine & Sprinkles,<br />I used Pacific Point and So Saffron card stock. The Pacific Point and Polka Dots are<br />brighter colors than what I usually work with -- so this is a big change. I also used -- <u>three</u><br />strands of Tim Holtz striped cord. (This goes with our Bootcamp lesson - odd numbers in our design).<br />The sentiment is from SU - Short & Sweet and used SU punches.</td></tr>

When I first started with my<br />idea - I thought I wanted to make the dragonfly and butterfly images lifelike - well guess what,<br />in my stash of stamps -- I have plenty of lifelike looking butterfly stamps -- but no life like<br />dragonfly. So I opted to use a flowery butterfly stamp from Stampin' Ups Papillon Potpourri set and<br />the dragon fly -- unknown. The sentiment and the itty bitty dragon fly stamp is from Stampers Best.<br />The other itty bitty butterfly stamp is from SU - The DP is from my scrap pile and the card stock<br />is from Stampin' Up - Wild Wasabi and the one blue square is Baja Breeze. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here is my Spring door wreath. I used the Swallowtail stamp from<br />Stampin' Up to make the butterfly. I borrowed it from one of my fellow card makers -- <br />I heat embossed the image on vellum then water colored on the back of each of the butterflies. I used various colors on each of them. The list of colors - not in any order on the Swallowtail, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Midnight Muse and Cajun Craze. I fussy cut one of them out -- it wanted to curl up so I glued them on some white card stock and then finished cutting them out. I think they add a nice touch to my wreath.</td></tr>

<br />
I am playing catch up on all the challenges. Life once again won out on my time - but that is okay one can't let yesterday use up today. <br />
<br />
So on to the challenges -- I will list the most recent and work backwards.<br />
<br />
I still have this past week's Midweek Throwdown Challenge to complete (Tags 'n Twine). I'll do my best to get one completed and posted along with this Wednesday's Midweek Throwdown Challenge.<br />
<br />
Well -- happy card making and crafting to all of you. Thanks for stopping in a visiting.<br />

I haven't had as much time in the craft room these days. Hubby is getting ready to have some surgery so going to various doctors has been taking up lots of our time and getting in a little ATVing here in the desert before hubby is out of commission for a few weeks. I'll share a picture of a couple of wild mustangs we saw as we were heading up the mountain trail. We thought it was awesome to see these wonderful animals.<br />

Well thanks for stopping in -- I'll have another post later today. I will come back with supplies on the cards a bit later. Much of what I have used have been SU products.</div>

<br />
Well here is my card for Sunday's challenge over at <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/sketch-challenge-162/">OWH</a> -- it was a fun challenge -- I am going to do more of these -- it is a nice way to use up some scraps DP. I just purchased a 6 x 6 pad by My Minds Eye - Bramble Rose and really love the ole' time shabby country look to the paper. This card I tried something new -- I used some 26 gauge beading wire to add a little bling. Please let me know what you think. Now on to the create something for Our Daily Bread Design March Challenge. This challenge is to use a scallop on your card. <br />
<br />
Happy crafting and blessings,<br />

Well I have been running behind all week. Can't say why -- just been on the go and other things have been taking up my time, i.e. doctor appointments, dentists, meetings, tax time, shopping, shopping and shopping LOL, other crafty endeavors, etc. etc. I know no excuses -- there are so many that post every single day and I so admire them. I will work at doing better with regular posts. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
I made a couple of cards and a St. Patrick's Day Wreath for the front door. My first card is for both the OWH Sketch Challenge 161 and the Midweek Recipe Challenge to use 1 Embossing Folder, 1 Border Punch or Die, 2 Patterned Papers and 1 Ribbon or Twine. The second card I made for a friend's son who is celebrating the birth of his first son.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
I enjoyed having a wreath on the front door through the Christmas Holiday so I decided that I would keep a wreath on the front door all year. So I made one for Valentine's Day and now St. Patrick's Day. I will be working on my Easter wreath next. I'll show you that one when it is finished.</div>

Whew -- I think I am all caught up until tomorrow when the OWH Sketch Challenge #162 will be out - Oh -- there is also the Our Daily Bread Design March Challenge to use a scallop on your card. Also a reminder -- Mother's Day cards are due to the OWH Shippers on March 31st. Okay - I think I am finished now.</div>

<br />
Well I managed to finish my remaining two challenges and OWH Design Bootcamp creating Focal Points.<br />
<br />
Challenge #5 - Disappearing Act with Sketch 63 -- I had to finish the five cards from the sheet of 12 x 12 paper. Well -- I didn't cut things out of the 12 x 12 for all of the background DP to be the same size -- so a couple of my cards vary a bit. I also added another later of dark brown and I think I like it looks better than my first one I did. I also removed the recycled strip of cup holder - as the browns would have clashed. If you look close at the picture you can see some of the differences.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Challenge #10 - Glitz and Glam (without Glitter). I am also going to using this one for the OWH Design Bootcamp. Let me know what you think -- my intended focal point is the dress form with the dress.<br />
<br />
When putting this card together, it took me back to a time when I was a youngster (that was many years ago LOL) when paper dolls were popular -- making the little black dress was fun. <br />
<br />

Welcome to Operation Write Homes (OWH) President's Day Virtual Card Making Party (VCMP)! If you like challenges and like to create this is the party for you. The challenges have really been fun. My challenge is the Ninth Challenge -- your are just about to the finish line -- keep up the great work!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My theme for today is All White/Cream with 3 Layers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The challenge: Create a card using white and/or cream card stock with the exception of the sentiment. The sentiment (if you choose to have one) may be any color. Also there should be layers -- at least three (3) layers of something, i.e. any combo of card stock, lace, ribbon, fabric, or some sort of fiber for texture and interest. Any embellishment must be white or cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made four samples - have fun and go create. I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful creations. If you get lost, here is the start of the party - <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/presidents-day-weekend-vcmp-master-thread/">OWH VCMP.</a></div>

<br />
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I made a couple of cards one for OWH Sketch Challenge #159 and then I decided to try another for paper players - color challenge using Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals. I had the colored card stock and one ink pad - Midnight Muse - so my challenge was on. I really like Midnight Muse and Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit is my least favorite color --(all three colors are on the bold side and demand their attention) so I tried to work into the card -- not sure of the outcome (let me know what you think).<br />
<br />
I used the OWH sketch for both but turned the sketch for the paper players card and moved the sentiment a bit. Enjoy the rest of the week and get ready for this weekends VCMP with OWH.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

Good Thursday afternoon,</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made a card for Wednesday's Midweek Throwdown Challenge at OWH. The challenge is to make cards that our heroes can write home to their children. One thing I discovered -- I don't really have much in the way of kiddy type stamps -- I did find this one and hopefully it will do. I guess I will have to be on the look out for some stamps that may be better suited for a kids card. (I love when I find a reason to do some stamp shopping -- tee hee).</div>

<br />
Well as I write my blog -- it is a close Superbowl game with 5 minutes to go -- so I need to hurry so I can either console my husband or help him celebrate. So without any further delay - I made two cards today using today's sketch 158 - I hope you all have had a great weekend. I guess you know that I didn't spend much time watching the game today - played in the craft room. LOL<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking a minute to stop in and visit.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

Good Afternoon everyone --wow the last sketch challenge for January -- as Marlene said -- time is going by soooo fast and her mom was so right -- as I get older I do find it zips by. And to answer Marlene's question this week- "What are you going to put in this large rectangle" -- I used another one Jolee's boutique dimensional stickers - this time it is a beautiful steampunk butterfly and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up.</div>
