Happy Tuesday!
Thought I would show my face here on the blog! I made a trip to South Florida for the State Bowling Tournament last weekend and started two new summer bowling leagues this past week. I spent Memorial Day weekend catching up on all the yard work and was able to get a day at the beach in as well. Whew!
My card today is for the SCS Color Combo challenge hosted by my Paperdoll friend, Mary. The colors...Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry. Wonderfully bright summer colors!
I reached for my Lil Inkers pinwheel die. There are always breezes here to make those pinwheels move and send out lots of kisses, lol!
I want to take the time today to talk a little about an organization that I have become involved with. I am like so many cardmakers...We crank out cards and most of them do not get sent anywhere. In March, while reorganizing my craft space, I decided I needed to do something nice with the finished cards I have.
I currently have two nephews that serve in the Armed Forces. One is a Marine, stationed in Afganistan and the other is in the Air Force stationed at Hurlbert Field, just 15 miles down the road from me. I come from a family that every male served in one capacity or another in the military. It is only fitting that I turn to OPERATION WRITE HOME in finding a spot for my cards. I like that the organization keeps the ties between those serving away from home, close to their loved ones through creations that a lot of love was poured into to make.
On Friday, May 13th Operation Write Home sent out the ONE MILLIONth CARD to the USS Carl Vinson! Take a moment to watch the video. You might see one of your cards if you have been contributing.
I would like to start a new CHALLENGE. I may do this every couple of months with a different organization to kind of mix things up a little. For this challenge, I would like for you to contribute cards to Operation Write Home. It is easy and fun. Post a pic of your contribution on your blog and send me a copy of the email confirmation from Operation Write Home. I will randomly select a winner from all the participants and provide a prize of a $25.00 gift certificate to a stamp company of your choice. I would like for you to spread the word too. If you post a link on your blog back to this post, telling others about the challenge, I will put your name in the drawing a second time. So spread the word!! This challenge will run until June 15th.
Good Morning Everyone!!
Thought I might catch up on some long overdue blogging! I always love participating in the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge and Beth's pick this week is fabulous Aime. Love her gallery and she has a lot of CAS cards to admire!
I chose her cardEnjoy the Journeyto CASE. I changed the stamp set, colors and sentiment and added a frame with a Copic black multiliner.
Stamps: PTI Everyday Button Bits
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Black Memento
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Copic Black Multiliner, Buttons
Have a really great day! I think I will hit the beach this afternoon!
Enjoy!
I'm BACK!! It has been a whirlwind three weeks and I am finally home and settling back in. I will get to my travels in other posts but wanted to post my card for today's SCS Color Combination Challenge. The colors are Certainly Celery, Blushing Bride and So Saffron. Dessert option: Flowers!
I pulled out a "never used" stamp set from Papertrey Ink and used all three colors with the images. Since the stamps were flowers, I was able to cover the dessert option too! Yeah!
My inspiration for this card comes from one that Betsey Veldman did last year when this set first came out. Hereis a link to her card. The card is a pure CASE except for the colors.
Stamps: Papertrey Ink All About You and All About You Additions
Paper: White
Ink: Blushing Bride, Certainly Celery, So Safffron, Brown Memento
