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.

“Beeing” Thankful for the OWH Sketch Challenge

Posted on August 19, 2013September 15, 2015 by Mama

This is my interpretation of Operation Write Home’s latest sketch challenge. It was a simple sketch, but with a little embellishing and the right paper I think the possibilities are endless.

I used four coordinating papers from My Mind’s Eye called ”Follow Your Heart – Be Amazing.” I try to pick up these cute 6×6 packs whenever I see a good deal — they are perfect for card making. After I cut, inked and placed all my papers, I simply stamped and embossed the sentiment, added three dots of liquid pearls and attached a little bumble bee brad. I also colored over the bright yellow on the bee with the same liquid pearls just to tone it done a bit.

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!
