OWH-Sketch-248Whew, this latest Operation Write Home sketch challenge was a toughy. But after much thought and lots of digging through all sorts of stamps, stickers, papers and punches, I finally came up with a concept to follow the sketch. Since Easter is quickly closing in on us and the OWH deadline for these cards is at the end of the month, I decided to go with a card befitting this celebration (plus I had those really cute egg stamps that had never been used). While it’s not my most favorite card ever, I think it turned out kind of cute.

Our Daily Bread Designs sponsors a challenge through Operation Write Home each month and February is all about designing with animals. Yeah!! I’m so excited, because this was the perfect excuse to use my new Recollections marine animal stamps that are so absolutely cute! I had a great time creating these little critter cards and have several more I want to make. I used basic papers and simple accents, and pulled out my markers to make things colorful. I also added simple messages and splashes of Stickles to add a bit of sparkle. Click on images to enlarge.

My Best OWH Cards of 2014

My Best OWH Cards of 2014

2014 was an interesting blogging year for me. My original blog, Small Talk Mama, completely crashed and burned in October and I lost lots of information associated with it. I consequently began Life at the Quarter-Acre Wood and decided to slow down my posting lifestyle and enjoy the process a bit more. But alas, I felt the pull to rebuild Small Talk Mama and so here I am again. . . While this blog may still be a bit under construction, it hasn’t stopped me from constructing cards for Operation Write Home. I believe in this organization, am thankful for the heroes it supports and love the creative outlet OWH gives me for creating cards.

So without further ado, let me wish you a “Happy New Year” and let you take a look at some of my favorite OWH cards of 2014 (compiled from Small Talk and Quarter-Acre Wood — they’re both me). May you and our country feel God’s blessings this year.
