Here are a few of my recent cards. Now that Operation Write Home has closed its' virtual doors, I make cards for friends and those we care about. My sweet husband just loves giving stacks of my cards away!
So here are some simple designs using dies, stamps, cardstock, and patterned paper from my stash.
Chloe And Me
A place to celebrate my creative spirit with card making for Operation Write Home, my love for the best husband a girl could have and for my dear Princess Kitty Chloe, and the abundance of Divine Blessings in my life. "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand" Psalms 16:11

July ODBD Card Challenge: Thank You
This is the last Our Daily Bread Designs challenge to benefit Operation Write Home. Since the majority of our overseas military heroes are coming home, OWH will no longer accept cards past the end of July. If card makers link up 50 cards this month, ODBD will sponsor two boxes of cards as they have done for years. What a generous organization!
Today I've used Stampin' Up! products to complete a colorful Thank You card. Hope you like it.

Well, the Operation Write Home crew has almost completed their mission and the final cards for our deployed military are due before August 1st.

So here is mine:
Patterned Paper & Aqua CS: Stampin up
Sentiment: Digital stamp from stash

Any Hero Mail
Working on my final box of cards for Operation Write Home. This incredible organization has been sending quality homemade greeting cards to our deployed military since 2007 for these heroes to write home to family, friends, and loved ones.
I am thankful that I found OWH and have enjoyed every minute of being a part of the group including watching Sandy's videos (Sandy Allnock, Founder and CEO), following the blog hops, and making cards. I have several of these "Any Hero" cards to go in my box scheduled to be mailed the first week of July so the cards arrive long before the August 1st deadline.
I know I speak for everyone involved in OWH when I say how thrilled I am that so many of our military men and women are coming home where they belong. Praying for an end to war and no future need for this type of organization.
Thank you, Sandy, for all your hard work, late nights, endless trips to the post office, and especially your encouragement. We love you and wish the best for you always.

Stars & Stamps Sketch #254
Operation Write Home has challenged us card makers with another great sketch. This one caught my eye and I decided to try it out today.
Happy Mother's Day to all you busy mom's and grandma's. Our son moved across the world to Spain last week :( Thank goodness for Skype!

Now that I see it, I think the card would have been better with a narrow frame of black around the embossed part. I'll just make more!

Colorful Birthday Card
Yes, I shamelessly copied a card design from my crafting Pinterest board to make this simple b-day card for my dear daughter-in-law.
The designer patterned paper (reward pack from my demonstrator), cardstock ("In Color" collection), sentiment ("Wetlands"), aqua ink ("Coastal Cabana"), and dark pink ink ("Strawberry Slush") came from Stampin' Up. My new inchie punches came in handy for the squares, and the floral stamp is by Inkadinkadoo ("Meadow" set).
I could create cards like this all day! Fun, colorful, and simple. I'm lovin' it :)
