OWH - Veteran's Day Blog Hop!

2010-11-12T19:30:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my very neglected blog....

Even though the calendar says November, at Operation Write Home it's time to celebrate Valentine's Day! Because of the time it takes for packages to reach the soldiers, it is important that the card makers stay ahead of the holidays. The due date for Valentine's Day cards is January 7th.

Here is a Valentine's Day card I made using a stamp from Outlines. I really like the style of their stamps. It was an Outlines stamp that started by addiction to stamping.

It was stamped with CTMH black ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Colored with Copic Spica markers and paper pieced:

Have your heard that OWH is one the finalists in Joann's Craft for a Cause and we need your vote to win first prize?? Simply click here and vote once a day (voting ends on December 4th).

Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop

2009-07-31T18:08:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop. Verve turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! The party kicked off over on the Verve blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning! And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!

This is my first try with a clear card....

Here's another one:

Thanks for stopping by! Now it’s time to hop on over to Michelle’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.

I was lucky enough to pick up the Clip-It and extender this weekend at the crop I was attending.... it has been something I've been thinking about getting for a while and figured the opportunity presented itself... and I should take advantage of it!

Boy... I really wish I had picked this up sooner!!! I L-O-V-E IT!!! I can store all my clear stamps and nestabilities and see them in a quick glance, rathering than having to dig through stuff and forgetting what I already had.
