S & S Midweek Challenge: Masculine

My LSS had a one day super sale last week where I found this double-sided patterned paper for masculine cards. Perfect timing for this challenge!
The sentiment is raised with dimensionsls.

Unscripted Sketches #219

It took awhile to come up with an idea for this sketch, then I decided to use a 6x6 pad of patterned papers and here is my card!

CTS #32

Here's another fab sketch web site CAS(E) this Sketch! I'm nuts about sketches as well as other kinds of challenges, and boy, there are a lot of them out there in cyberspace. Some of the challenge sites I have found have so many links to their challenges (like 250!!) that I feel like mine will be lost in the crowd. Plus, I don't feel like wading through all of them. Anyway, there are plenty of cards linked up on this site, generally > 100 per sketch, and the Design Team does an awesome job. Plus, these are 'clean and simple' card challenges; my favorite! So here's my take.
I may make more of these for my Operation Write Home box. Our heroes do miss their loved ones everyday.

S&S Midweek Challenge: Things with Wings

Yay for another chance to play with my BoBunny paper pad. This is the same one I used with the OWH
6x6 Template. With 36 pages of patterned paper, there is still plenty left :) Come join us at the Stars and Stamps Blog for a Midweek Challenge every Wednesday. It's fun ;)

The 6x6 Template

Well this was certainly fun! I used a 6x6 paper pad with patterns on one side only. I must have cut a few more pieces than necessary because I ended up with 14 cards. Here are the first 10 all put together. I am loving this idea because I like working with 6x6 pads. Thanks so much, Kathryn, for sharing these amazing templates with Operation Write Home ;)

OWH Sketch # 173

This weekend marks our 40th wedding anniversary! We had a great time together yesterday, and today we're doing our own thing. For me, that means card-making. Here's my creation for the current Sunday sketch over at Stars and Stamps.

SOS Challenge #100: Mother's Day or Pink

I had to dig deep into my stash for the flower. It was a gift years ago. I removed the large, round, sparkly pink center and replaced it with a pink brad. Unfortunately, it still may be too thick to use as a card for Operation Write Home. Still, I like the pink and green combo on the card and the matching colors of the flower made it too good not to use :)
