OWH Midweek Throwdown: Happy Anniversary

By Yvonne

  • Stamps – Hampton Art “Windowpane Monarch” and A Muse Artstamps “”Happy Anniversary”
  • Patterned paper – Memory Box “Waltzing Matilda”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill and American Crafts

I made this card for the Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown Challenge for anniversary cards. I used an OWH bonus sketch from the My Country/Mit Land Blog Hop we just had this past weekend. This particular sketch is featured on OWH President Sandy Allnock’s “I Can’t Stop Embellishing” blog. The sketch is a little bit different when it comes to its construction, so I had to study it for a while before I built it! And I just had to use MORE butterflies, since I’m kind of on a roll with butterflies these days! Thanks for stopping by today!

OWH – Memorial Day Bloghop 2012

By Yvonne

Welcome! Just a quick “hello” to the OWH Bloghoppers today!

  • Digital image – Bugaboo Digi Stamps
  • Patterned papers – Scenic Route – “Surprise” (double-sided)
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

We are all about sketches today for our hop. There are over 100 different OWH sketches to choose from and I used OWH Sketch #33 for this card. I colored the digital image with Copic markers and repeated the birthday hat motif from the penguin to the patterned paper in the background. Lots of polka dots for a festive birthday card! I popped up the image with dimensional adhesive for a little visual interest and there you have it!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of the hop and be inspired to make some cards using the great sketches available here! Try out a sketch or two (or more) and make some cards to ship out to some of our troops so that they can use them to send to their loved ones. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
