Yesterday I hosted an Operation Write Home birthday bash party to make cards for OWH in honor of their 501(c)(3) status birthday this month. We had a small group but made about 85 cards. I know not everyone is on the Facebook page for OWH, so check it:
On the agenda today is making sure the box is packed and ready to ship to Kris. I've been adhering fronts to bases, stamping backs, and tucking on and off all day. Hopefully I can finish it all up tonight!
And since today is sketch day, and yesterday there was a Stamper's Best challenge for holiday OR love cards, I thought I'd multitask a bit. :)
This is sketch 139:
 |
| Sentiment: Lawn Fawn; DP: MME |
 |
| Sentiment: Unity/Jillibean Soup dutch mustard soup set; really reasonable ribbon for the burlap ribbon; SU for other ribbon, distress inks and marker for faux stitching. |
And here's a bonus card, just for fun. I used up this scrap of Basic Grey dp to make this card with a fun Unity sentiment:
Thanks for visiting me today!!

ReplyDeleteI need to get my box packed up to mail - maybe I can get my lunchmates to tuck for me

My first attempt at that sketch wasn't my favorite, either. I really like your second attempt, especially that your faux stitching mimics the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Your party looked like a lot of fun.
