OWH - Sketch #215

Here is this week's card for Operation Write Home's sketch #215. Most of the elements on this card have been recycled from other cards that I've been sprucing up for donation to OWH. I'm up to 50 cards so far. Hope you have a great Sunday.

OWH - Sketch #175

Here is my card for this week's sketch from Operation Write Home. I used four tickets from a raffle (that I didn't win), embossed woodgrain cardstock, linen thread and three wood buttons to form the base of this card.  I distressed all the items with chocolate chip ink. The plane is from the Sentimental Journey set from Stampin' Up!

OWH - Sketch #140

Here's my take on this week's Operation Write Home sketch.  I used mostly scraps from my Halloween cards and kept the sentiment fairly simple since the newsprint background was so busy.

Earthy Birthday Card

My friend Raquel (aka Rocky) is celebrating a birthday today.  She's a designer by profession so I hope this meets her standards.  She works for the National Park Service so I was going for an earthy look.  I used scraps from my mini book project, a crumpled piece of vellum and a small square of sticky-back canvas.
