Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home annual Memorial Day Blog Hop. I chose OWH Sketch Number 121 for my inspiration.
This was a pretty simple sketch to work with, and is great for using up narrow strips of leftover cardstock. The patterned paper is from a great 6 x 6 set called "indigo bleu" from Pink Paislee. I used my brand-new Silhouette Cameo to cut the heart shaped pieces. The tiny letter stickers came from a past Studio Calico kit. I'm loving the Cameo and hope to spend part of this holiday weekend experimenting with new designs for cards.
Thanks for your support of Operation Write Home!

This sketch has become a fast favorite for me too. The double layered heart makes a great focal point. I see so many wonderful pieces being created with the Cameo that I am wishing I had one too. :) Enjoy yours! Thanks for joining in the Memorial Day hop and for supporting OWH.

I love how one simple little word can pull a card together and this "love" card does just that! Love that big heart :)

Sweet card and what a great way to use up scraps! Your double matted heart really showcases the sentiment. TFS during this OWH blog hop.

Great card. Love the paper you used-yellow and gray are quickly becoming on of my favorite color combos. What a great way to use scraps. I love the big heart too.

I was out of town when this sketch came up and when I got back and saw it I decided to wait a while because I couldn't get a handle on what to do with it. But you really did a super job and I agree with Paula at what a difference one word can make!!! Enjoy your Cameo!
