Operation Write Home Red Friday Bloghop

This holiday weekend instead of a Black Friday shopping day, Operation Write Home is celebrating a Red Friday bloghop  There are blogs with Red Inspiration (love cards) prizes and shopping deals to be had so if you haven't joined in, go do so!  Upon completion of the bloghop you were to make a card using a design/element inspired by a card in the hop.  I chose to use Kristie's card for inspiration.... I used the same pad of doodlebug patriotic papers

thanks for looking!

christmas card

Today I think I created one of the cutest Christmas cards I ever made.  I was following along with some Christmas Card Challenges and the latest challenge at the Christmas Card Challenge blog was to make a faith based card.  Just the incentive I needed to ink up this adorable SP & Company stamp that I purchased when Sami stopped selling stamps last winter.   I colored the stamp with my spectrum noir markers and the sentiment is a cheap stamp I got at Walmart several years ago.  Then I added the image to some corrugated paper for a rustic look, and attached some gold star brads.  So cute!! I'm very happy with it! 

crafting on a Sunday

Hi friends!   I haven't had a blog post in weeks, probably because I haven't really crafted in weeks, but today the Packers weren't playing football and I didn't have anywhere to go so I made several cards for different challenges.

this first card uses the Operation Write Home sketch challenge 241.  I also used a number of hearts on it for the November ODBD challenge.

I also wanted to get a start on my Christmas cards so I made several of them.   These first 3 I made were for a challenge on the Paper Players Blog to use a vintage image on your card.  The vintage santa stamp was part of a set I got at Michaels last year on clearance - gotta love 75% off

I also made these Christmas cards, 2 of the first design, 6 of the second design, using some kraft cardstock and pinterest inspiration

and then these two .. the turkey image I had colored and just laying around so I made a card with it, the other card was for a challenge on a facebook group to use yellow as your background color.

thanks for looking!
