OWH Midweek Throw down Challenge

I finally got my OWH midweek throw down challenge done fairly quickly. Thanks to Paula S. with OWH who gave a tutorial on cutting and organizing our card stock and designer paper for the card fronts. I got busy after reading her tutorial and started cutting and organizing my paper and card stock into mats for my A2 cards. I also went through die cuts and digi stamps that were colored and matched the papers to those. It has really been nice to have the card fronts together instead of wandering around my craft room searching for the right paper. I still have more to organize but I have a great start. Thank you Paula for a great tutorial; you have no idea how much it helped me. Thanks to my awesome daughter Holly who printed a bunch of cards for me with the OWH stamp printed on the back. Those were already cut and folded so between Holly and Paula I am good to go! Thanks to both of you!
 The SVG cut for the street lamp is from Images by Heather M. http://imagesbyheatherm.wordpress.com/. The paper is Prima Botanical  6x6 paper stack.The Bible verse was done on my PC.  The park bench is a digi stamp and I will have to  post later and give credit to the designer. The bench was colored with Copics that Holly gave me for my birthday in December.

  5. Hi Donna! You won one of the aprons from CHA - I wasn't sure if you saw that. Email your info to me and we'll get the apron out to you. If I dont get it before I leave it'll be after the cruise; I did give the envelope to one of our other volunteers, so if you send the addy I can email that over to her and your apron can get dropped in the mail :) Congrats!

  6. I think I am feeling the need to cut down my patterned paper! Paula inspired me to cut my cardstock down, but I haven't taken the plunge for my DP. I love your card. It has a nice vintage feel to it, I feel as if I could sit right down. Thanks for playing our Midweek Throwdown Challenge at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps!
