OWH S & S sketch challenge #40

another weekly sketch from Operation Write Home's stars and stmaps blog .. it's hard to believe they've offered 40 sketches already! I always am inspired by their sketches
here's the card I made for this week's sketch, I've made so many fall and christmas themed cards lately I changed things up and went summery for this sketch

Sassy Lil Sketches Card Crazy!

The Card Crazy month continues at Sassy Lil Sketches. Using the sketch for October 18(sketch #3) I created these two cards. All product is Stampin' Up with the exception of the tis the season sentiment .. that is one of the $1 clear stamps by Studio G
Thanks for looking!

S & S Sketch Challenge #39 and mid week throwdown

I finally had a little free time to do some creating for the week! This first card is for the Sunday sketch challenge at Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps blog. I used all SU product on this card, although it's all from an older catalog I like how the card turned out

The next two cards are for the midweek throwdown .. to create a masculine card. The first card was made once again with SU products and the sentiment is from Studio G. The second card I used a bunch of scraps and my newest cricut cartridge ... Country Life .. to create this nice farm scene.

Sassy OWH Love Card

The Operation Write Home midweek throwdown challenge for this week is to make an anniversary or love card. Today when I looked at the Sassy Lil Sketches reveal for Oct. 14 they had a great sketch to work with so I combined them both. Several months ago I purchased these little buttons for $1 at Michaels with the idea of doing a heart with them and I finally got the chance. However, they are heavy! so I don't think I'll send them to OWH, but will probably use it as a Sweetest Day card for someone special this weekend. The cardstock, punch, and ribbon are all from SU. The sentiment is Making Memories as is the buttons.
Thanks for looking!

Scrappy Vacation!

I'm on vacation this week!! No plans to go anywhere, just hanging out at home catching up on cleaning, scrapping, cardmaking, also doing some shopping, things you just don't have enough time for when you work all week. These pages were all scrapped on Monday and Tuesday, the first page has a bad light reflection on it, but I'm too lazy to retake it!

Sassy Lil Sketches Card Crazy!

This month Sassy Lil Sketches is going Card Crazy!! Every Monday this month in honor of World Cardmaking Day they have a card sketch. Using the sketch from October 4 I made these two cards. I've had the sheep ribbon ($1 at Michaels) for a long time thinking I'd use it on something for my sister or brother and families (who raise sheep) instead I made a couple thank you cards for friends. The image didn't scan well, the oranges are better matched in real life :)





Using the sketch from October 11 I made the following card for my friend's birthday which is coming up this weekend. The papers are from Close to My Heart

Sympathy card

This past week has definitely not been the best week of my life. Last Thursday my boyfriend's father lost his battle with cancer. His wake and funeral were on Sunday and Monday. I went back to work on Tuesday and learned that the mother of our company president passed away on Sunday. Her funeral was today and this is the card I made to send to the family...

I used this week's sketch at Operation Write Home (sketch #37).. a great sketch to work with and one I'm sure I'll be using again, and it may be to make a thinking of you card, I also learned on Tuesday that my nephew Tyler's friend, Mikail, had died. Mikail was only 21 years old, although he did have a genetic disease that they are thinking led to his untimely death. Like I said, it hasn't been the best week of my life.
