Good Monday afternoon,
Hope all of you crafters had a good weekend. I was busy with many things including trying to catch up on the challenges. Seems since I've gotten back from vacation -- I can't get caught up. Maybe I am still on vacation mode. :-) I did make some Pindo Palm Jelly. Now how many of you knew that this variety of palm tree produces fruit? I sure didn't until we moved to the desert and our backyard had a couple of these palms. Anyway -- back to cards.
In crafting my cards this week, I decided to try and re-purpose an item for each of the cards. I did that for all of them but one. (My Halloween card) This weeks sketch I really like and plan on making some more cards this week using this sketch. I look forward to the sketch challenges -- I like how it does challenge my card making skills. Thanks to Julie and the OWH team for doing such a great job!
I made a card for the Santa Tutorial and one for the Midweek Throwdown: Kraft cardstock + color. I really enjoy making cards for OWH -- it is just a small way I can say "Thanks" to those serving our country. For those of you that may not know what OWH stands for it I "Operation Write Home" It is a non-profit organization that sends blank handmade greeting cards cards to our nation's armed forces to write home on. Please click on the OWH to learn more about OWH and good works that they do.
I am also stepping out of my comfort zone and going to use one of the OWH challenge cards for another challenge. That challenge is over at "Our Creative Corner Theme Challenge" - that challenge was to make a card using office supplies (yeah -- I get to repurpose something) and to make sure there was red on the card. Hopefully I met that criteria.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Blessings,
Sharon

Those are all so imaginative! Great cards and super repurposing! I especially love the idea of the woodgrain embossing for the beard!

LOVE your take on the Our Creative Corner challenge this week! All those gorgeous supplies from the office look fantastic put together on a card, dont they! Thank you so much for joining in this week - hope to see you again!
You've been busy. I love seeing what others do with the challenges on OWH. I especially like that you embossed Santa's red jacket.
GREAT takes on the sketch. Really love them. Glad you could play.
Hi Sharon, lots of great office supplies in your card, and particularly like the combinations you have used, of the brocade in the background with the modern look of the file folder tab. Great typewriter, too! :)
Thanks for joining this week at Our Creative Corner.

I think the card you made for our office supply challenge @ OCC, is wonderful! I love the strips of various red papers on top of the text paper. and your use of office supplies and images are so perfect! I love how you used two different tags and materials to create the focal point. Just beautiful!
thank you for playing along with us @ OCC. Great card!
I think you did an awesome job finding materials on hand for the Santa card! The buckle is so creative. Thanks for trying out the tutorial!
