All About Easter Greetings

Posted on January 16, 2014February 9, 2015 by Mama

This week’s Operation Write Home challenge is all about Easter, and for some reason I had a bit of difficulty with this one. I don’t think I’ve actually ever created an Easter card in my life. . . How is that possible? But I’m happy to say that with a couple of attempts I’m now over that hurdle thanks to K & Company’s Susan Winget Designer Mat Pad. This whole paper collection looks like Spring, so by adding a ”Happy Easter” stamped banner, some punched flowers and liquid pearls I came up with a quick and easy greeting. I hope you like (even if it’s only mid-winter).

5th & Frolicing in the New Year

Posted on January 6, 2014January 29, 2015 by Mama

Operation Write Home isn’t missing a beat as the new year begins, and I’m just trying to keep up with the creativeness of it all. The latest OWH Sketch Challenge was posted yesterday, and since my son so graciously decided to take a long nap today, I was able to create my card, write this post and share my twist on the original inspiration. . . all in one day!

I took a few liberties by adding some tails to my circle and using washi tape to create the vertical shape, but I tried to stay true to the original intent. The cutesy little papers all came from Dear Lizzy’s 5th & Frolic collection with some basic teal accent stock. I purchased the washi tape from Staples right before Christmas and just couldn’t wait to try it out on a new project. I also added three dots of petal pink Liquid Pearls to give the card a bit more dimension and interest. I hope you like!

A Look Back at My Card Making Mojo

Posted on January 2, 2014February 9, 2015 by Mama

What better way to end and begin a year than by taking a look back at where much of my creative mojo was spent during the last several months. As a card creator for Operation Write Home, I always feel like I’m doing some bit of good for our troops all over the world; and while not all my cards make it to public viewing, I always try to send my best to our American heroes.

So here are a few of my favorites from the past year — I hope you are inspired and will consider your own creative contribution to Operation Write Home. For loads of great cards, be sure to visit the OWH Top 13 of 2013 Blog Hop.
