Hello OWH and Hoppers!

Thanks for Hopping to my Blog! I am super excited to participate In OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop! 
When making these cards, I went for the CAS look with bright colors. Here are my cards that I made using S&S Sketch #122. I couldn't decide on which sketch to use. I asked my kids and hubby...they couldn't pick just one, so I decided to do a random drawing and this was the winner! Sorry, I can't remember where this paper is from. I am a hoarder and I have too much paper from just about every company that ever made scrapbooking paper! (I know, it's horrible)  The second card, I used SPLASH by Echo Park. Love this line, it is so bright and fun!

These will go into my next box for Operation Write Home! If you don't know what Operation Write Home is, visit their website http://operationwritehome.org/

Now for the sweet stuff! Check out yesterday's post for some Blog Candy! : )   Woot Woot! Just scroll down!

Happy Hopping!

2nd Blog Hop! Yay!!!

Today I signed up for my second Blog Hop ever. So wish me luck, I hope I remember how to upload and all that cool stuff. This is a test...

OWH Christmas Card! Blog Hopping!

This is my very first Crafting Blog...AND my very first Blog Hop! I am excited to participate in the OWH Blog Hop! I hope that you are having fun and are finding some inspiration!
I absolutely love Operation Write Home! I love making cards for OWH, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing it will make another person feel warm and fuzzy too! I must admit that it is hard to get into the Christmas Spirit when it is a blazing 107 degrees still in Sunny Phoenix. So I just crank up the AC and pretend it is cold outside! (Tee Hee)
I made this card with CAS (Clean and Simple) in mind. I hope I captured CAS, I have been paying attention to OWH Wall and OWH TV!

Please check out yesterday's post for some COOL stuff, including OWH Donation and Blog Candy!!!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Card Making!

I made OWH Wall!!!

Imagine how giddy I was when I logged onto Facebook and seen my card posted on Operation Write Home Wall! Now, to a lot of you that might not mean much to you, but to me, it made my day. Every now and then the shippers will post a photo of a card that caught their eye for one reason or another on their Wall for everyone to see.  I would "ooooohhhh and awwwwwe" over them and CASE them if I could. I'd sit back and think how creative these ladies were to make such a beautiful card! I am not too creative, I try, but some of these ladies on OWH absolutely blow me out of the water, hands down!  So I was super excited to see my card make the "wall".   The sentiment is from http://melonheadzillustrating.blogspot.com/. She is my absolute favorite when it comes to Digi's. As for paper, if you know me, you know I am a hoarder and can never remember where it comes from! LOL...  

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! I am going to try my best to keep up with this blog and post all my cute and crafty ideas for the world to see.  Stay tuned and thanks for coming along for the ride. I promise you it will be a colorful one!
Until I can get crafty, Take Care!
