This card was designed for the “We R Keeping an Eye on You!” challenge at Operation Write Home. This month is the Birthday Celebration at Operation Write Home, celebrating the anniversary of when OWH became a 501(c)(3). OWH is doing a different challenge every day of the month of September. This particular challenge was to make a card using eyelets. I must admit, I haven’t used eyelets in quite a while, so this was a good challenge for me. Thanks for your visit!

- Stamp – Crafty Individuals “Butterflies Collage Quad”
- Patterned paper – KaiserCraft “Hunt and Gather” 6-1/2″ paper pad
- Die cut – Memory Box “Amira Flouish”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Tissue tape – Tim Holtz “Nostalgia”
This is a fun card I made using elements that went together visually and that I really like. So this butterfly stamp features not only the insects themselves, but flourishes, text, postmarks and music. I chose the die cut since it emulates a butterfly and is a flourish also. And the Tim Holtz tissue tape just tied in with the rest. Thanks for checking in here!

- Patterned papers – Basic Grey Indie Bloom 6″ X 6″ collection
- Cardstock – Bazzill
We’re back from camping so I can post some of the cards that I made this past week. No Internet connection (or electricity!) there! I think I managed to keep most of the dust off of the cards and the squirrels were fairly scarce, so I don’t think there are an abundance of wildlife prints!
This card was inspired by Sketch #233 at Card Positioning Systems (CPS).

This is an interpretation of the current CPS sketch, #232. I changed the orientation of the sketch as it was presented to better feature the artwork. I colored the artwork with Copic Markers. The artwork is from Crafter’s Digital Art Center (CDAC), created by Sandi’s Samples. I just bought the Bo Bunny paper today at Stampin’ Cat and was pretty excited to use it with this! Thanks for visiting today.

I’m pretty amazed that i’ve posted 100 cards already–just in a few months. Anyway, this is a card made using this week’s sketch on OWH Stars and Stripes: Sketch #81. I like this sketch–it is simple and very easy to apply to any card theme. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the 100th post!
