OWH Sketch challenge #188 VCMP

This weeks sketch challenge from

Operation Write Home

is part of the VCMP weekend.

Here is my creation. 

 I am going to go back and make more of this sketch the sentiment I used is

 not right for an OWH creation.  

I don't think so anyway;)

It is one of my favorite quotes though.

I used a Basic Grey paper pack that is older than dirt it is

Urban Prairie.

OWH sketch challenge 122

At first thought I did not like the sketch and did not play. 

 I revisited a day later and gave it a go.

I am happy with the results and I love

this paper line from Cosmo DeLovely.

OWH Sketch 122

When I sat down with older paper kit I had it in mind to use up as much as I could down to every single scrap and even the marketing page!

Success, I did it!  This sketch was a great way to use up the smaller bits.

The next few days I will be showing you what I have been up to;)

Nuts for Dad OWH Sketch

 Operation Write Home has launched a new card drive, check it out...

Here is the sketch for this week #114

Indeed this was a challenge for me this week.  I don't have anything that I liked and wanted to use.  

So I thought of what my Dad likes and that was peanuts than a memory clicked of  drawing peanut people with my Mom when I was a kid. 

 I just jazzed up that Nutty artwork and came up with the following...

I had to go back and secure my upper corner, that was driving me crazy.  It is all better now;)

I need to go back and trim my chairs you would think I had little J cutting for me;)

OWH sketch 83 Butterflies

I have been playing along with the sketches on OWH for a few weeks now, they all scream play with me;)

Here is this weeks sketch.

You can find more information in the following link

OWH sketch 83

One more thing, I really love how they place the cut size.  Most sketch challenges don't do this and you need to print the sketch and cut it up for a template.  

So cheers OWH you rock the world of sketch challenges!!!!

Below is my creation

Paper used from my lovely BD stash my Sister Gave me

s.e.i  chocolat line

Stamp Set is PTI Limited Edition 

To print the sentiment I placed the butterfly stamp on the block

took glue dots to hold the sentiment in shape then I removed the butterfly stamp before inking and stamping;)

Happy Stamp Day!  God Bless!

OWH sketch 82

I made both of these creations for OWH sketch 82 earlier this week. 

 I finally have some time to share them with you.

Here is the sketch...

OWH 82

I have been having a "scraptacutlar" week trying to get my scrap basket organized again.

This entire card came from the scrap box;)

The card below used a free printable made by Karen Adair for Craftsuprint FB page.

I loved her print so much I just printed, cut and used dimensional dots.  

The black really popped the color and I am over the moon with this beauty!

Happy Stamp Day.  God Bless.
