TMS #205

If it's Tuesday, it must be time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
This one is so nice and lends itself well to one of my favorite card techniques: mixing and matching patterned papers.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #205

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.

OWH Sketch # 147

Here's the Sunday Sketch over at Operation Write Home. And this is my interpretation. I realize it is a little crooked. I am working on a second one which will be more better!

S&S Midweek Challenge

Today the Operation Write Home peeps are challenged to make Cards of Encouragement. Since the sentiment I used would encourage me if I received this card in the mail, I decided it would work.

My husband chose the designer paper pad called "Kraft Funday" by My Mind's Eye. Probably would not have been my choice, but I have made a few cards using these masculine, heavy designer papers and I like the look. The gold CS is Bazzill, colored DP from a paper pad "Max and Whiskers" by BasicGrey, the embossing folder by Cuttlebug, circle dies are Spellbinders, the bling by Mark Richards, and the digital sentiment from Create with TLC. The embossed aluminum paper is the insert from a flavored coffee package. The colors are brighter in person!
