I created this card for Operation Write Home, using the current OWH Sketch Challenge: #87. I haven’t used these stamps in ages, so this was a fun challenge for me. This is a very simple design and I had to find the appropriate size and orientation in my stamp stash. I was able to use some of my scraps, which was a good feeling! Thank you for visiting.

I made this card for our son Trenton’s 13th birthday. Since he is a squirrel fan, the hoola-hooping squirrel seemed appropriate, as did the loopy border made with the Memory Box die cut border. We have swirls and squirrels on this card–can’t beat that! Thanks for the visit and have a great day!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
