Mid Week Challenge: Thank You

This was my second attempt at a Thank You card today. I wasn't too happy with the first one I made so I posted it with some other cards I finished today. I like this one much better!

Paper: Sizzix Paper Packs

Ink: VersaMagic Midnight Black

Stamp: Stampin' Up

Ribbon: The Ribbon Boutique

I have finally printed out all the sketches I have missed and the check off sheet to go with them. I am on a mission to get all 110 done! I haven't really set a time limit on myself- I just want to enjoy trying each one out! Let's see how long it takes me!

Sketch #75
Paper: DCWV, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl
Ink: Versamagic, Tea Leaves & Pink Petunia
Stamp: Stampabilities
Ribbon: The Ribbon Boutique

Sketch #104

This card isn't one of my favorites, but I figure someone else may like it! :)

My Second Birthday Card!

I think this card looks a lot cuter in person. The lighting in my craft room is a little weird!

Sketch #123

I had so much fun at this past weekend's Blog Hop! Thank you everyone who commented on my cards! I was so surprised to see so many wonderful comments. I am glad folks liked my cards. I have been super busy this week and I have lots of cards to share with you. This card is for Sunday's sketch challenge. The cardstock is photographing really dark. It's actually a lighter lavendar that matches the patterned paper.

It's Time to Get Hopping!

Hello! Thanks for joining in as we hop around this
Memorial Day Weekend.

This Memorial Day I will be thinking of my Father-In-Law, a member of the U.S. Army who I have never had the priviliege of meeting as he passed away from cancer in 1976 while serving our great country. He was only 26 years old. His sweet son, my husband, was born 6 weeks after his passing. We have been a military family for almost 11 years (he's been in 14 years) and as I know what it's like to have my spouse deploy, I feel a special bond with each card I create.

I love making cards for Operation Write Home!

I am pretty new to all of this and have loved every minute so far! Happy Memorial Day and happy card making!

I have chosen Sketch #23 for this hop!
