This week’s challenge at Operation Write Home is Polka Dots. I have lots of polka dots in my stash: tons of papers, ribbon, round punches, border punches with dots… So I had no problem coming up with something! The cardstock has a lighter colored core, so when you sand it with a sanding block, a lighter color shows through. I stipple brushed ink on the edges of everything as well, so everything is nice and distressed! Thanks for checking-in.

This is a really neat folding technique that I learned on Operation Write Home Stars & Stripes. Jan Hunnicut, of “She’s Gone Digital,” offered a tutorial showing how to fold this tree. Trenton, who is a master at Origami, also advised me on the folding! I seem to be folding-impaired to some degree! Anyway, I really like the tree and hope you do, too! Thanks for stopping by.

This is a simple card that I dressed up by coloring the image with Copic markers and added some faux stitching around the edges. Then I popped up the image for some dimension. I made this for Operation Write Home as part of the current Masculine Card Challenge. Thanks for stopping by.
