OWH midweek throwdown 7/22

This week's midweek throwdown at Operation Write Home was to use one of two images from Ward's Digis. As an extra challenge we were to also use a punch or a diecut on the card. I used the car image on the sketch challenge and chose to use the girl image with this challenge. I used a scallop punch to add the border on the right side. The paper, cardstock and sentiment are from CTMH. The image from Ward's Digis is colored with colored pencils
Thanks for looking :)

S & S Sketch Challenge #26

This week's challenge at the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Blog.
I also used the midweek throwdown digital image from Ward's digis. The cardstock and paper is CTMH and I colored the image with some old color pencils.
Thanks for Looking!

Stampin' Up swap card

Wow it's been a long time since I made a post, but then it's been a long time since I've had time to spend in my craftroom.
This week I've been working on cards for a swap this weekend with my Stampin' Up club and another club the demonstrator has, so I needed to make 13 cards!
This card was what I came up with .. not exactly my best card, but it will work.
The base of the card is kraft cardstock, the scallop squares are cut from Bermuda Bay cardstock, the sentiment from Wow Flowers is also in Bermuda Bay. The flowers are stamped with Melon Mambo ink and are from the set Best Wishes and More .. and yes I cut them all out! 39 of them! I took some of the stamped images to work one day and did the cutting on my lunch break.
Thanks for Looking!

The Loggers album is finished!

YAY!!!!

I wanted to get this album done so I can exhibit it at the county fair next week. This afternoon was my afternoon off (comp time for working Saturday) so I had the chance to finish it.

Sketches! by Tamara layout

Another layout I finished today, this one used the July 6 sketch on the blog Sketches! {by Tamara}

Sassy Lil Sketches 7/7

I used this week's Sassy Lil Sketch on another page for my Loggers album

Scrappy Monday!

WooHoo!! Look what I got done today!

I've had the day off because of the Federal Holiday, so I spent time in my scraproom.
I worked on my LaCrosse Loggers album. I did the title page, plus 4 pages of miscellaneous pics, none of the players. I'd like to have it completed to year 2009 by next Tuesday so I can exhibit it at the county fair. I think there's five 12x12 pages to do after these .. good thing I have Thursday afternoon off too :)

Operation Write Home Blog Tour

This weekend Operation Write Home is having a blog tour to celebrate Independence Day and our nation's 234th birthday. I chose to make a couple birthday cards in a red, white and blue theme. Very simple style, but yet I think they turned out quite cute! The stars and sentiment are both older Stampin' Up stamps. Make sure you check out all of the blogs on the tour, there are some fabulous cards out there!

OWH sketch challenge 23

Another week and another sketch challenge at OWH! I love doing their sketches, they include the measurements which makes things so much easier for me on days when I can't create!

The birthday card I made is for Tony's sister. She will be 40 on July 4! The scan is funny as the burgundy scallop matches the color in the patterned paper in real life!

The other card will be for my stash of cards to send to Operation Write Home.
