So we continue with the Sunday challenges. The mojo is wearing down but hopefully I met the challenges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first challenge was to use the weekly sketch #232. I used the <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/big-dog-digital-art-stamps-das-118.html" target="_blank">Crafty Secrets</a> Dog for my image. I cut him on the Silhouette.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there is the messy Teen card. I used some We R Memory Keepers school paper and stickers. I distressed the background with sandpaper. I thought texting words was perfect for today's teenager.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next challenge was Critter Love. I used an image from Doodle Pantry called<a href="http://doodlepantry.com/shop.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=884&category_id=121" target="_blank"> Hoppy Log.</a> It just happens to be an Operation Write Home fundraiser set. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Inching Toward Christmas challenge wanted us to use one of the OWH sketches that have one inch squares as part of the design. I used sketch #175. Great way to use up those scraps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The last challenge of the weekend was to use something faux on the card. I picked the easy one - a paper button.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

WELCOME to the 4th of July <a href="http://wp.me/p2kUr6-4zJ" target="_blank">Virtual Card Making Party</a> for Operation Write Home. I feel so privileged to have been selected to present a challenge for this event! I love making cards for OWH and supporting our troops. 4th of July seems like the perfect opportunity to present a challenge and participate in the card making party. What fun! <br />
<br />
My challenge to you is to make a masculine card using a vintage image. It can be anything. How about a sports image? Maybe an old time piece? Do you have a stamp of an old train or other type of transportation? Look through some clip art if you don't have a stamp. I'm sure you can come up with something vintage, just make sure it's masculine.<br />
<br />
For my first card, I selected an old car from Doodle Pantry's <a href="http://doodlepantry.com/shop.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=962&category_id=135" target="_blank">Classic Cars I collection</a>. The image and background are both from this collection. They have several collections that support Operation Write Home. <br />

I made a second card using <a href="http://craftyvintagegirl.com/index.php/golf-time-digital-stamp-set-download-das-m43.html" target="_blank">Crafty Secrets Golf Time Digital Stamp Set</a>, I colored the images with Prismacolor Premier pencils after I printed them on kraft paper. This set is perfect for golfers. I'm sure some of them will be out on the courses all weekend after that long hard winter we had this year. </div>

Minnie Mouse is really closer in color to the ribbon in real life. She looks a little "grayed" out in the scan. The June 4th challenge is cheesburgers or BBQ. Since I already have this digi from Doodle Pantry and it's an OWH fundraiser digi, I had to use it for the challenge:<br />

The one sheet wonder (OSW) is a template for cutting a 12X12 piece of double sided designer paper to minimize scraps. I decided I wanted to adjust the dimensions just a little so I came up with this:<br />

The paper is a collection from Crate Paper called Restoration Collection. I found it a Tuesday Morning. It had 16 sheets of double sided designer paper, borders, stickers and die cuts. I used various stamps for the sentiments. These will all find their way to <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/" target="_blank">Operation Write Home.</a></div>

Then this last weekend there was the <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/owh-great-impression-stamps-bloghop-and-sketch-227/" target="_blank">Great Impressions Blog Hop</a>. Check that one out if you missed it. They have some great cards and really nice stamps. Some of the stamps are fundraisers for OWH. The highlight of the hop was sketch number 227 shown as a rectangle or circle.<br />

So first I tried the rectangle and decided to make it manly for the <a href="http://doodlepantryblog.com/" target="_blank">Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #47.</a> I really like their images for cards. They work so well with my Silhouette.</div>

A few months ago, I found a bunch of pencil pouches at the local thrift store. They are perfect for organizing card kits. I can fit up to a dozen card kits in one pouch. They keep them clean and organized until ready to go. They lay flat and make them easy to pack for class.</div>

Hope you are enjoying the <a href="http://wp.me/p2kUr6-4o6" target="_blank">OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop</a>. They are always so much fun and it's great to see all of the talent out there. Memorial Day is always special for me as that was the day I got married to my late husband. He was a Viet Nam vet so this seems like a special way to honor him and our special day.<br />
<br />
I could not decide which card to post today so here is the first one.<br />

They make creating card kits so easy and fun. Their <a href="http://doodlepantryblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/doodle-pantry-digital-challenge-46.html" target="_blank">May challenge</a> is to use any digital image in a card. Of course, they really appreciate it if you use their image but any will do. Be sure to visit the challenge and enter. There are some great free images to be had if you use their images. Great ideas for card making. Here's the card I've created for May. <br />

This card was created using Charlie Horse and Hey! Paper from We R Memory Keepers. I used the Silhouette Design Studio to pull in the images and cut them out. This card will be going to <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/" target="_blank">Operation Write Home</a> so one of our Heroes can let someone know how much they are missed.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today I ran across a post about Polka Doodles. They are running a blog hop to celebrate their 5th birthday! They have some really adorable digis. If you check out their blog hop, you can score some really great free digis. Check out their <a href="http://www.polkadoodle.blogspot.com/2014/05/5-years-of-polkadoodleicious-win-100-of.html" target="_blank">5 Years of Polkadoodleicious!!</a> blog hop and see their designers in digi form! </span></div>

I chose to do a card in dry embossing I've been going through my left over pieces of this and that. Here's one of the cards from that exercise:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The image is from Graphic 45 paper. I don't remember the name of the embossing folder. You never know what you will find in the scrap box!<br />

I brought the centerpiece and it was so fun to make. It took me a while since I had downloaded the update to the Silhouette designer software. It had so many bugs and looked so different the I restored my old version. Well it wasn't a complete restore as it dropped the designer part. I wasn't able to upload the SVG file I needed. After trying all day to get it back, I finally decided I'd trying going back to the email that I got the update from. I reloaded it and fortunately the bugs had been fixed. So after much trial and error, I finally got the file I purchased from <a href="http://svgcuts.com/" target="_blank">SVGcuts</a> loaded and ready to cut. I think it turned out quite well.<br />

I created the kits with images from <a href="http://doodlepantry.com/" target="_blank">Doodle Pantry,</a> <a href="http://letteringdelights.com/" target="_blank">Lettering Delights,</a> and <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/" target="_blank">Silhouette.</a> Digital images are so easy to use for kits. Being able to cut them on the Silhouette makes it even easier. Here are the April kits that were completed:<br />

I made 24 kits for the crafters and all the kits were finished! The final card count was 238 cards made that night. Cards made at home were Marge 38, Theresa 8 and Andrea 7. The total for the group was 276. I think we have enough for a large box to be on it's way to Operation Write Home. Here's a picture of the completed cards made with the group:<br />

I'd post the link but I don't remember where I saw it. Bacon seems to be the thing right now so I used that theme for this card that is going to Operation Write Home. The "bacon" is made with copic markers and satin ribbon. My ribbon was the cheap stuff so I'm sure it must be some sort of acrylic fiber.<br />

She challenged me to come up with some uses for it on cards. I found some really cute images on Dollar Doodles and went to town on my new Silhouette. Using the print and cut makes it easy to cut the images out. So here's the results using other supplies I had on hand:<br />

So here we go. First challenge is to make a masculine card with the colors of the super bowl team that you like best. So how do I choose? I've live in the northwest and Colorado both. So I guess I'll just do one card for each team.<br />

We managed to finish 65 cards for <a href="http://operationwritehome.org/" target="_blank">Operation Write Home.</a> They will be on their way soon to some of our heroes so they can write to their families. Seems strange that we are done with Christmas cards for them to write home and working toward Valentine's Day. They are so far away though that enough lead time is needed to be sure they have the right cards for the right season.<br />

We'll be getting together once a month to keep this going. Hope I have a little more creativity going this next month. And still trying to figure out formatting and posting on this blog thing. Hope I haven't bored anyone completely but this is a great way to document what we have accomplished. Until next time, have a wonderful fantastic day.Andrea Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17088441591817604820noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902363204371544909.post-73020593139557576152013-10-29T13:04:00.002-04:002013-10-29T13:04:59.473-04:00Happy HalloweenA few days early but I wanted to make sure I wished everyone a Happy Halloween. Time sure has been flying by. This week is really busy with preparing for a doll show Saturday in Kissimmee and an OWH card making event on Friday. Squeeze in a doctor's appointment somewhere in there. <br />
<br />
Here's a few cards I made for this Halloween:<br />

Thanks to my cricut for some great images. They are from the Paper Doll cartridge. My favorite is the cat. I just had to add some googly eyes to him. Happy Halloween everyone!</div>

We managed to make about 100 cards. It was nice to just gab and create. They have all been sent off to Operation Write Home so we are done with Christmas cards for them. Although it's not too late to send them Any Hero mail for Christmas. Seems like the holidays are creeping up too fast. Here are some of the cards we finished:<br />

If 50 crafters post their card, ODBD will pay shipping for two boxes of cards to go to deployed heroes. That's a huge help! <br />
<br />
