OWH Sketch #136 and VCMP

Good Sunday Morning to all of you.  I was not able to partake in all of the challenges yesterday at Operation Write Homes' Star & Stamps Blog, but this morning I did get to today's sketch #136 found here and  Cindy's challenge for yesterday Titled "Snowflakes but no Christmas" found here.   Here is our sketch to follow this week.

I decided to make an Any Hero Card to add to my next box that will be going out soon.


 My papers and card stock are all from SU.  I crimped the Pacific Point card stock.  Use used SB square dies and added flag/star stickers that I have had laying around for ages.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts "Hero Mail" stamp set. I just finished it off with two gold brads.  Very simple  - Very Easy.

My next card is for Cindy's challenge.  Again I went with Simple and Easy.  My image and sentiment are both from Gina K Designs set titled "Ready, Set' Snow.  That set just has the cutest images and sentiments around.  
My paper is from a Winter Pack by DCWV (a couple of years old by now).  I colored the image with Copics and sponged SU's Bashful blue around the inside edge of the SB Postage Stamp Die.  The Snowflake border is from EK Success and I just added a few blue gems to the centers of the flakes to make them pop and added a gem to the image piece to cover a spot I somehow managed to get on there.   The more I try to be careful the sloppier I am.   I am hoping to be able to get to some more challenges today, but I am also trying to divide my time between working outside and my craft room.  Thanks so much for stopping by to say Hi.  I always appreciate the company.

  1. I like the way you angled the sentiment on the snowman card - gives it a more casual, fun feel!

  4. These are such great cards Donna! I LOVE those little flag stickers, and I must have a ton of them lying around, yet I seldom use them! The snowflakes on the 2nd card look like they're dangling from the rooftop, what a great look! I agree, that really is a cute image:)

  5. Beautiful cards, Donna! I've decided that Pacific Point is my favorite blue ever. Love how you used the gems...especially to cover a booboo. Clever.

    Love the stars and colors on the first card! And crimping.....I need to get mine back out now!

    The second is so cute and fun - love the snowflake border on here too. Can't believe you actually got a smudge on this!!! LOL!!! I wish I had a nickel for every time I've done that! Great cover up though!

  11. Donna, your style may be "simple and easy", but the results are "creative and inspiring" ;)
    The postage stamp die works perfectly! I may need one of those myself...
