OWH sketch challenge #143





I made 16 of these cards. The top design used SRM word stickers. All of the colored strips are cardstock stickers by Reminicse. I bought 2 12"x12" sheets at Michaels months ago. Just hadn't figured out how to use them.

Hugs and Kisses



I had a lot of cards in my last box for OWH using the blue paper. The entire stack of paper in this pad has the scalloped edge on the bottom.

Puppies, puppies and more puppies




Trying to use up some papers from the Max and Whiskers Basic Grey collection. I made a little dent. Barb Housner sent me this 6"x6" pad ages ago and I mean ages.

Old paper rules!





This line of Deja Views paper was made in 2006.  I have had it since my first card making days. I loved it then, I love it now. I made 19 cards for my last OWH box. I still have more of this paper. Bought before I came to realize that 1 sheet of each paper is plenty. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought so much. It wasn't like I was mass producing cards way back then.

For My Sweetheart




Operation Write Home midweek throw down is for love cards. Here are mine. The heart on the first card is shiny silver. This is my masculine card. The swirl on the second is glossy card stock. The built in swirls on the last card are elegant shiny gold. The sentiment is hiding the Eifel tower laying on it's side. I bought a few of this sheet of paper on the cheap because I knew I could disguise it. The first 2 cards were made with leftovers from who knows when.

Hot air balloons



I picked up this 1995 PSX balloon stamp for $1 this summer at a yard type sale at my LSS. It was a lot of fun to color. Both cards are going out in my OWH box today. I think I need to buy the Hero Arts balloon set. I really like it.

OWH Christmas cards





A few cards made from a sheet of pretty embossed paper I bought last year. Quick and simple. I have a hard time making Christmas cards, especially in September.

More snow cards





The first 2 cards were made with stickers. The last card is just a strip of snowman paper. His hats are glossy. The snowflake background is done with white glossy paper. It is really quite pretty. I made several cards with this sheet of paper.

OWH midweek throwdown-Stickers





I created these cards using some Penny Black stickers I have had for at least a couple of years. The snowflake stickers and the snowman are all separate stickers. I put them on the card stock and then cut with Nestabilites. I made sure some of the snowflake was to be chopped off when cut. The sentiment is computer generated
