OWH Stars & Stamps Masculine Card Challenge

It's time to make Father's Day cards for Operation Write Home. I decided to make the cardstock design do the work and make a few like this one. The challenge is to fill your package with half masculine/Father's Day cards and half general cards and send them to the shipper by April 30. My box of cards is small, so I'm almost there!

Stars & Stamps Midweek Challenge

I am so glad I don't work on Wednesday so I can start the day by creating a card for the S&S weekly challenge!

Except for the green background (CS by Bazzill), the rest of the DP came from my stash. Love it :)
The challenge is to make a card using yellow and green. The butterfly is yellow and you can't miss the green.

OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch # 113

This looks like an easy sketch. However, it wasn't that easy for me. I decided right away to use some of my Graphic 45 designer paper ("Once Upon a Springtime" Collection) and I like the result.

Catch the Bug Sketch Challenge

This busy sketch comes from the Bugaboo Stamps Blog. This was such a fun sketch to use for this colorful "Spring" card!

Corrected Sentiment!

I realized after posting yesterday's "missing you" card that the sentiment does not work when sent from a deployed soldier to his or her home. So I changed the sentiment to "I miss you" and made several more cards with paper-pieced houses of various DP.

Stars & Stamps Midweek Challenge

Today we are making a "missing you" card. Although mine has a different sentiment, I think it works. I had fun paper-piecing the little house and masking the cloud. I should have distressed the edges. Next time!
