Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home Memorial Day BlogHop .  I hope you are having fun checking out all the great cards being posted.

I used OWH Sketch number 145 as inspiration for my card(s).  This is probably the simplest card I've made in a long time.  So simple, that I had to make two!  The backgrounds are from an older BoBunny Press 6x6" paper pad.  The word "Hero" was cut using my Silhouette Cameo.

These cards will be used as Any Hero cards in my next shipment to Sandy.  A handwritten note goes a long way in encouraging our heroes so far away from family and friends.  

Thanks for visiting my blog and I encourage you to send in lots of Any Hero cards.

Memorial Day Blog Hop - Operation Write HOme

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!

New cards for the Memorial Day blog hop

I was inspired by this post on the HomeFront Blog and decided to try a couple of pinwheel cards.  What fun!

Thanks for stopping by to see the card I made for the Memorial Day Hop.  My card is super simple.  I used some Club Scrap textured blue cardstock, a torn piece of white from my stash, and a brand new image from Papertrey Ink for the sentiment.  The red word "you" is a die, also from Papertrey Ink.

Added on Sunday:  I'm keeping this post at the top of the blog during the holiday weekend, but will keep on creating cards.  My plan is to post a few highlights during the next two days.  Scroll down for now to see something new.

Have fun visiting my fellow blog hoppers and take some time to remember the reason for our Memorial Day holiday.

Hello From Kate

Operation Write Home Bunny Hop!

Thanks for visiting me on another Operation Write Home blog hop!  I've been having a ball making cards for Easter, Mother's Day and Spring.  Here's one of my new favorites:

 
I used a couple of Nestablities dies, Prima flowers and cardstock from Club Scrap.  The sentiment is a stamp by Ali Edwards at Technique Tuesday.  Sorry, it looks like this Studio AE set is sold out.

Just a reminder, current card deadlines include Easter (March 18th) and Mother's Day (March 31st).  I'll be mailing a box on Monday. 

My plan is to make lots of cards over the weekend, with plenty of stops for inspiration along the hop, too.  The sketches at the  Stars and Stripes Sketch Collection page are also great.  I want to get busy and try out some new designs.
