Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #152
 Time to move on to other themes, and Sandy has specifically requested cards for our heroes to send to their children. Maybe this sketch would make a cute kids card, what do you think?

Let's get shapely.   Join us at Just A Scrappin' weekly Challenge to make a card that is not a square or a rectangle . You can use any  theme or colors.  I used Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy Card <squar4> at 5 1/2" on pattern and <bttrfly2> layer on glitter cardstock. Using the cut made by Card I put in the blue ribbon.  By adding "Sweet" I can use this for Cards for Hospitalized Kids"

Operation Write Home Daily Bread Designs challenge to win for our deployed troops  two boxes of gorgeous cards shipped for free!  This month the challenge is to include flowers on your card.  Here's the spring card I have.  Since cards are sent early because of the time it takes to get there and back home from the solders Valentines are done Dec. 31, and winter Jan. 10.  I'm starting on the next batch using spring for the general cards.  Check out Operation Write Home for complete details.

Out of our comfort zone.   Join us at  Justascrappin' weekly Challenge to make a Non traditional Christmas card, layout or 3D project (thanks to one of talented designers' for this idea).  You can use any colors but red or green.

 I love purple so that's what I used.  Starting with a purple card base at 5 1/2" I then used the Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy to cut the <circle4> at 4 1/2" and <FlurDels> at 3".

  Placed the circle onto the base, with a jumbo Zot in the Flur back I gathered the lace around it.  Using a sheer ribbon I hung the layer from the top of the circle like an ornament.  Last the "Let it Snow" sentiment and snow flasks to go with the pp in the circle.

When I seen this color challenge Lawnscaping Challenge I just had to do it  for some reason the idea for the card popped into my head right then. Now here it is ...
The color is not as good in the photo as it really should be because for some reason the flash massed it up.  I used the kraft as the center with inking around the edges then stamped the sentiment, added red silk flowers and the gold with turquoise butterfly. Last added it all to the turquoise base.  I love it.

Today I was inspired by there two challenges  since I found the print out of an Iowa farm that fit the bill.   I used a A2 card base in white then a mat in black to place the drawing for the winter picture of a Iowa barn covered in snow.  I used markers to color the barn in maroon and black to do the shadows then Crystal Stickles for the white snow.
