Operation Write Home Blog Hop





Hello Hopper! Thank you sooo much for coming by!

We brought our creativity together in the hopes that we would inspire you to join us (DT members) in doing a good deed!

Most of you know our Boys and Gals from the Armed Forces are deployed all over the world. Sometimes these men and woman are in places that make it very hard, or they’re far away from anywhere that they can pick up a sweet card to send a quick note home. Luckily, they have OPERATION WRITE HOME (OWH). OWH is a non-profit organization that sends special boxes filled with cards to soldiers all over the world. How can you help OWH keep the good deed going? Making cards!!! Yes! OWH angels receive tons of handmade cards from crafters all over the world, then they check and organize cards to be sent out to our soldiers. 


Now we would love for you to join us to help OWH. We thought it would be amazing fun to do a blog hop to inspire you! Design Teams from Paper TemptressOozak and Color me Creative Class will join together in one amazing Card drive HOP. The fun just gets better! You can join in by making as many cards as you possibly can..the more you create the better your chances are to win one or more prizes.  Here are the guidelines on how to enter and win!  PLEASE remember that…IMPORTANT….OWH guidlines MUST be followed to be entered to win a prize.

You can join in by making a project (following OWH – size and safety guidelines), entering a picture of the project on the hop inlinkz (One project linked per person please) then mailing the project to us. We would loooove it if you could send as many as you can by November, 7th (we will screen and send all to OWH) . You could win super prizes from amazing super generous sponsors!!! YES!! You do a good deed and you also can win a sweet gift!!!

HERE IS MY PROJECT:




My digital image is from Sweet Pea. The name of this super cute image is Karen Middleton's Strawberry Mouse-digi.  Sweet Pea Stamps has a wide variety of awesome digi's and rubber stamps. I used the OWH Floral Package from Paper Temptress. This was difficult to keep it clean and simple but I wanted my card to be "battle ready".
♥♥♥
It’s time to HOP around. Leave little note as you pass by these lovely designers’ blogs! Don’t forget to add your project to the inlinkz at the end of the Hop! You will also find the address to mail your cards at the end of the hop. You can Hop throughout the month of October. This way everyone in their own time can hop and join in!

Mojo Monday

I'm trying new challenges.
Over at The Flying Unicorn they have Mojo Monday's.
I decided to do this cute pic of my coworker's nephew Carver. It's a joy to watch this little one grow up.



I used my Cameo to make the 2 Flourishes using my Paper Temptress "Lustre" collection of papers. There is also some Gina's Designs Chippie. I used my 3rd Eye Brick Wall stamp again and tucked in some Braid's as leaves.  Also the white vellum is from Paper Temptress as well. The background paper is from Heartfelt Creation's Timeless Amour Collection.  Here are a few closeups.

Zva Crystals I got from Scraputante's store. The flourish and  Vellum are from PAPER TEMPTRESS.

Renea's gorgeous butterflies
The Vellum peeking out under the butterfly is from Paper Temptress as well as the flourish.

butterfly trails 

some glitter glue on my pretty flowers

blue and yellow to match the one in my photos.

my cute little flowers from Heartfelt Creations

The butterfly I cut out on my Cameo. I used Tattered Blossoms die from Heartfelt Creations to make my flowers. I'm sure about curling up the ends.. I'm using my stylist. I have to be careful because the petals like to tear. yikes. My friend Shannon gave me some 3-D glitter glue and I have put them on my flowers.
Thanks Kelly for hosting a fun challenge.

Those are my projects. Make sure to stop by Heartfelt Creations site to check out their awesome videos tutorials and inspirations every week. They really do have some beautiful products. I have to say just working on these two projects was a learning experience. I had to go get the C plate for my Cuttlebug because the dies are super cute and thin.  This was my first flower die as well. I like having the matching stamps. I also used some chalk as I saw in one of their videos.

Until next time ... Happy Scrappn!

Semi Final Package

I don't know about you but sometimes I just have to know. I searched the web for pics of what this semifinal package might look like. There were no pics. For me I was extremely curious and wondering if there would be enough product to work with. I didn't know this was a first for me. So I have taken pics with my cell and will post what I received. This is a general idea as to what one might receive. I'm not sure about the pics I received as in who are they. I'm guessing its SOP. I love the colors of my paper pad. Ideas and plans are swimming. I am making this post for future semifinalists, to put their minds at ease. Of course everything is subject to change.





So nice and tidy


These look beautiful.


Hooray  I get to make flowers


gorgeous pad!








Who knew Spellbinders made bling???


Hooray a chippie piece!


THANK YOU HEARTFELT CREATIONS FOR A WONDERFUL BOX! I love my goodies

Happy Scrappn Ya'll!
