Sketch #180 at Operation Write Home

My wonderful son was able to remove the virus from my laptop--bless him! I was afraid to link anything to my blog. Hope it doesn't happen again :(  . Here's my card for OWH Sketch #180; I thought this sentiment was perfect for the popsicle paper:

Sentiment: Wood-mounted rubber stamp by Hampton Art (one of the first stamps I bought)
DP: "The Pier" 6x6 pad by Crate Paper
My Mind's Eye adhesive dots
Ranger Distress Ink: Broken China

Red, White & Blue (& Kraft)

 This card is for both this week's Hambo challenge (red, white and blue) and the recent Midweek Throwdown at OWH (red, white and blue and kraft). I had a little difficulty posting & sizing this one because I had to scan it instead of photographing it. I'm having blog trouble on my laptop so I had to use our other computer! Only know how to download my photos on my laptop :(   !!!
The digi is Racecar by Hambo Stamps. I love that they've added several little add-on images to the digi version that you can decorate the racecar with!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good week. Sherry

Hambo Challenge: use a map

For my card, I used this week's sketch #179 at Operation Write Home:

 

The challenge at Hambo this week is to incorporate a map into your project and Hambo's new Pirate digi (free to all who danced in the Hambo Hoedown last week) or another stamp or image of your choice. (It has to be a Hambo product to win a prize.).  Pirate digi comes with 3 sentiments and I thought this would be funny for a hero to send home to a guy for his birthday:

 

Map: from a 12x12" sheet called "Out of Print"
BG dp: My Mind's Eye "Floral Bleu" 6x6" pad
Copics
Candi adhesive dots (center one colored with Copics)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

DT Reveal for new challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow: The Colors of Your Flag!

Welcome! The theme of the new challenge starting at Sugar Creek Hollow today is "Your Flag Colors" -- make a card featuring the colors in the flag of your country and include the name of your country with your name. We have a talented guest designer for this challenge, Sonja Grdinic of Croatia! Be sure to visit her blog and see more of her wonderful work.

Here is my card, celebrating the red, white and blue of the American flag. We celebrate Independence Day, July 4th,in the U.S.A. this coming week so I really enjoyed this challenge!!

I designed my card around this sweet vintage Americana image from Digital Two for Tuesday . The star brads and circular brad are from BoBunny. The striped tag is from Recollections. The background paper is embossed with Cuttlebug stars folder and the red banner with Stampin' Up Square Lattice embossing folder. Looks like a scrap of thread made its way onto my card. You have two weeks to have fun creating for this challenge; can't wait to see all the countries that are represented!
Have fun! Thanks for stopping by.

OWH Midweek Challenge: CAS

I haven't tried a black & white card for awhile and I thought it would be fun for the Operation Write Home Clean & Simple challenge:

The flower stamp is by Stampendous; I embossed the white background with a Stampin' Up Sizzix folder. I wanted to repeat the 3 elements of the flowers as we learned in Boot Camp, so I chose the black "pearls" but I wish I had had smaller ones in my stash. I think the little touch of gingham lightens up the card. Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend.

Hambo Challenge: Use numbers

Not the best photo (I had to take it with my phone) but here's my card for the Hambo Hoedown challenge. This neat calculator digi was free to everybody who participated last week. The new challenge is to use numbers on our card.
