Good morning all, this is a long post but I have some exciting news to share and the information here is important. The awesome news is that I have the humble and honored opportunity to help
Operation Write Home Celebrate there birthday this month.....yippie! I am going to encourage you to play along and submit your cards to
OWH. They are having challenges everyday and prizes, you can read more about that
here. My challenge is up tomorrow and of course there will be prizes, you will have two chances to win. I have made a birthday card today to wish
OWH a very happy birthday! I have made two cards,
the first card cannot be sent to
OHW, it is square. There are guidelines you must follow when submitting your card to send to the soldiers, sending only A2 cards is one of those guidelines....
you will need to go here and read all about that. I also tend to make my cards a little cas(plainer) because of the whole shipping thing. Remember these cards will be shipped at least three times.
I have used this weeks
Curtain Call Colors Act47, they are great manly colors. I was thinking about the women who serve when I was making these. I made my own ticket, I do not have a ticket die yet(notice I say yet...hehehehe). I took kraft paper and cut it to the size I wanted, clipped the ends with my SU punch, and then distressed the ends.....so easy! These fit
Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge, ssnotime156; challenge
, to make it manly. I also used the sketch from
OCCSC31 a week or so back, the stamps are
Skipping Stones Designs, luv this cake!
For this card I used the same
Curtain Call Colors and the sketch from
Taylors Sketch Challenge, TESC127. I flipped the sketch and used all
Verve stamps on this one. Be sure to give the Curtain Call DT some luv and I cannot wait to see what you create, you have plenty of challenges to get your mojo flowing.
