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.

A Salute to Friendship

Posted on August 15, 2013February 11, 2015 by Mama

Since I seem to be running a little slim on time this week, I decided to dip into my basic design bag and come up with a cute little friendship card for Operation Write Home’s Midweek Throwdown Challenge. I did however get out of my comfort zone as far as colors go. That bright blue is usually not my style, but I think it turned out quite cheery. Here’s to friendship and here’s to our heroes!
