OWH Sketch Challenge #106

Here is my version of #106, maybe this will also work for the Glitter Free Bling Challenge as well?  The brad, blue star, red/white stripped, and Bandana paper is from Hobby Lobby "The Paper Studio".  The stamp is a clear stamp from Fiskars.  This can be used as an Any Hero Card or for a soldier to write home on.  Sometimes I think it might be fun for them to write home on Red, White and Blue cards. The Not Quite Navy ink is from Stampin Up.

OWH Easter/Spring Challenge

Here are two different Easter Cards.  The firsst one is made using OWH Sketch #61 or 63 if my memory serves me correctly.

OWH Color Challenge

I decided to do a Valentine's Day card since it so close.  I used Black and white paper from Creative Memories, I used the heart cuttlebug template on my Sizzix texture boutique.  The stamp was on that I had gotten from a friend.  The ribbon was from the $ section at Target.  The red in the ribbon and the paper don't match here but they do in person.

Organization

So I am already falling behind on my resolutions.  But I guess a good excuse is working 8 straight days in a row averaging 9 hours each plus a 2 hour commute time.  Anyways I was on the Stars and Stripes Blog and saw todays topic on organization.  That I do have down pretty well I think.  So here is what I have.  Enjoy!!!  Pamela glad you were inspired by my resolutions.

My wooden Stamps are stored in Sterilite 7 drawer rolling carts.

Paper is stored in sterilite tall file folders storage containers according to color

Cuttlebug and accessories stored in a basket from goodwill

New Year's Resolution

1)  Finding time to scrapbook more and get our heritage albums (4 albums) x 3 people.
2)  Finding time to create cards for Operation Write Home
3)  Become better organized in my craft room
4)  Get my sewing machine working again so that I can use it for cards, scrapbooking and sewing clothes, etc.

5)  Being better about posting on my blog and checking out other blogs.  I did real well up until May 2011 and all heck broke loose.  My dad has been in the hospital 8 times in 10 months during the 2011 year along with 3 surgeries. 

Hopeing 2012 is a better year all the way around.

OWH Midweek Throwdown

The following is my version of the monochromatic midweek throwdown.  It is tones of brown and the picture really doesn't do it justice.  I am thinking it is kind of plain but not sure what it needs.  Any thoughts?  The trees and sentiment are from Stampin' Up.

All Creatures Great And Small Blog Hop

The following are made with Cricut Cartridges and some stamps.  I have made most of the cards but my mom and nephew also made a couple that are showcased.  Enjoy!!!
