OWH Sketch #101 Quirky Bird for Operation Write Home Memorial Day Bloghop 2012


WELCOME to the HOP of all BLOGHOP's!


Welcome to my stop on Operation Write Home's Memorial Day Bloghop 2012 . This is my fourth year participating...my lil' sister and her hubby are in the Army National Guard. My sister has transferred from FL to the Hawaii National Guard. Her husband just returned from deployment in Afghanistan at the end of April. Our family is so proud and grateful to them and for all of our men and women serving in the armed forces and I love doing my part by using my creativity to support such an awesome cause...Operation Write Home!!!


My card design is following Operation Write Home's Sketch #101. I am using a quirky bird from my new plate of Mary Vogel Lozinak Stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps! I stamped this with black ink on white cardstock, then hand colored with Ranger Distress Markers and Glaze Pens. The background is a scrap of Basic Grey Patterned Paper on a purple card base. The stripes are metallic gift ribbon adhered with Miracle Tape. I finished off this "Quirky Bird" with some colorful feathers and he's ready for the party!!! I will be entering this in the VLVS Mary Vogel Lozniak Link Up Bloghop which is going on this weekend as well which will feature creations using Mary's hand-drawn images pressed to rubber. CLICK HERE to visit that hop!



Wishing you and your family a Happy Memorial Day!!! I hope you are enjoying the festivities! Thanks so much for dropping by. You can CLICK HERE to get back to Operation Write Home at the top of the HOP!

  14. THis card was so fun to make. Thanks Sheri for identifying the line of my Basic Grey paper. I received it in a scrap swap and it said basic grey on the back but the rest of the info was missing {it was a scrap}. The paper was so fun and festive...it just went with my fun feathered friend :)

  18. I love the look of the metallic "gift" ribbon - I have lots in my wrapping paper box, so now I know it is an inexpensive but snazzy "ingredient" I can use.
