Operation Write Home Sketch 134

I used last week's sketch to make this Hall-NO-ween card for Operation Write Home.

I used OWH Sketch 134 as my starting point.


The DP is Authentique Halloween's line from last year.  It is my absolute favorite!  Authentique has these word sheets that you can use as sentiments or titles.  I had aready used the "you" on another card so I had to substitue "u" instead.  The words show up a little better in real life.  I used glossy accents on them to highlight them.  

Happy Crafting!

Boo Peeps!

Yes two posts in one day --amazing!  I actually am getting some cards made for Operation Write Home.  The Halloween themed cards are due to the shippers by August 31.  I made these two cards with some very cute 'Peep" stamps that I found at the Stamp and Scrap Expo in Colorado Springs in July.



The stamps are by Elaine Madrid and her website is www.carmensverandarubberstamps.com.  She didn't have a picture of them on her website.  The sheet of Rubber stamps included a Bunny Peep and Christmas Peeps of Gingerbread man and women, Christmas tree, Snowman and Christmas Cookie.  I look forward to making some cute Peep Christmas Cards very soon    I made the sentiment on my computer using BlackKnight font and cut it out with Stampin'Up! Itty Bitty Banners dies.  The large banner is Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations (trimmed down to fit the card). I inked all edges with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink in either Black Soot or Rusty Hinge.  The Designer Paper is Authentique and it is gorgeous!  That's it for today, I have to get back to work and fill up my card box to mail off to Operation Write Home this week.

Happy Crafting!

HERO Card Making Party

Last night I attended the 2012 Colorado Women Veterans Resource Fair Friday Night Reception.  At the request of my friend Colonel (retired) Theresa Blumberg I brought card making supplies for the reception attendees to make HERO Cards.  Here is the results:


The Women Veterans and guest attendees produced 39 HERO cards for me to send to Operation Write Home.   The inside messages from these veterans are heartwarming.  Thanks so much to the Colorado Women's Veterans Resource fair for this wonderful opportunity to get Operation Write Home's name out there and for some wonderful HERO cards!

Happy Crafting!
