OWH Stars & Stamps - Sketch Challenge 70

 

  

Hello -- hope you are all having a good Sunday.  I have had a nice day - I got a few cards completed.  I used today's challenge to make a "Thank you" card to give to the Entertainment/Variety/Editoral Editor of our local newspaper for publishing the article about OWH in Friday's paper. 

I will experiment with this sketch this week to see what cards I can create for the upcoming bloghop on Saturday.  Cheers to Penny, she did a wonderful job on the samples for us today.

The materials used on my card:   the sentiment - Hero Arts stamp, I am not sure where the cherry blossom branch stamp is from and the designer paper is from K&Company.

Thanks for stopping in -- have a wonderful week!

Stars & Stamps OWH Sketch Challenge #69

Good Sunday Evening.  I have been busy working on another project today but I stopped  for a while to make at least one card for today's challenge.  This is a fun sketch and Brenda, this week's samplemaker, did a fantastic job with her sample cards.  Let's see how quickly we can get to our second million!!!!

 




Thanks for stopping in today -- have a wonderful week and Happy Card Making!

Necktie Challenge

Good Morning (Friday the 13th) -- that has always been a good day for me- I hope it is for you too.  Say what do you think about that millionth card???? Yippee!!!!   It was fun watching Sandy count them out last night on OWHtv. 

Below are my 5 necktie cards -- shipped off to Sandy on Thursday.   These were fun to do -- it took me my first couple of neckties to get the hang of it.  I sewed on the collar buttons on the shirts and added a tie tack on 4 of my ties.  The tutorial was great.  Thanks for stopping in and may you all have a wonderful day. 

OWH Stars and Stamps - Sketch Challenge #68

Happy Mother's Day -- I hope everyone had a wonderful day.  My day was quiet but nice -- my husband is recovering from major surgery so we didn't go out today which allowed me to work on some cards.  I received some phone calls from family too.  The biggest surprise (and most pleasant) was a Mother's Day card from my husband -- he had surgery over a week ago and hasn't been out of the house -- so he was really thinking ahead.  No -- he didn't sneak in my craft room and make it :-)

Thanks for stopping in and on to today's challenge:

OWH Sketch 66 Challenge -- Easter Sunday

Happy Easter -- and thanks for all who stop by this blessed day.

Although today isn't really a red, white and blue day -- I felt patriotic today after I finished making potatoe salad and baking an apple pie (two of my husband's favorite things) so to keep the patriotic mood going  I made a patriotic card using today's sketch.

I enjoyed this sketch -- it is a good one for using narrow scraps of paper.

The sentiment stamps are from Stampendous - Freedom Squares.  The Eagle stamp is from the Stampin' Place.   I colored the eagle with Crayola pencils.  The wavey flags on ivory paper is from Scrap Happy.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
