September 2013 Card Sketch Challenge

Post by ScrappinJen »

I am slammed with things to do and my mind just isn't coming up with an original sketch so this month I am challenging you to make a card with the Operation Write Home Sketch #188 which was on their website on September 1. Here's the link:

http://operationwritehome.org/sketch-challenge-188/

And here's a photo of the graphic. Let's see what you can make of this.

okay - this might be cheating a little bit, but I had already made these two cards this weekend during the Virtual card making Party over on the OWH blog :lol:

I won't call it cheating if you don't. It's not. Really. It's not.

I adore both of these cards. You know I love the owls. Any birds but I do adore owls. Whose stamp is that? I can't remember.

Thanks so much for diving in. Hope to see more, soon.

Jen this is a great sketch! Birds are "it" I see. Love the lively light of your card. It truly glows...fabulous.

Hey cheater...er Nancy...really how claire voyant of you! I'll call you Cleo again, LOL. Your owls are adorable and so perfect for this sketch.

I need to jump on this. You two have lit an inspirational fire.

This sketch gave me the idea to use a number of items "never-before-used". Such as the little girl, 3 different embossing folders on Core paper and the washi tape images stamped randomly on the printed card stock - also never used before. It is a clean sweep in newness. :lol: Looking at it now I realize I forgot to layer it. :-o Oh well, too late.

This is absolutely fabulous. I don't see the lack of layers as an issue. The colors and patterns and textures give it enough oomph to last all day. Love it!

I really need to use some of my little Asian dolls. Crazy to keep buying them and never using. Congrats to you for breaking out the new stuff. Are the washi stamps from CTMH?
