OWH Finishing Strong Blog Hop

Happy Memorial day weekend everyone!

Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home Finishing Strong Blog Hop!
finishingstrongbadge
Operation Write Home, a charity that has supported heroes with handmade cards since 2007, will be closing later this year. 
All cards need to be sent in by August 1st, so I’m helping to get the word out!

The theme for today's hop is to make a red, white & blue card based on a OWH Sketch. I have two cards to share with you- both featuring images from 
Bugaboo Stamps!
On my first card I used OWH Sketch #232 and the fun Rock Star Boy image.
Materials: Copics, Pebbles Americana-paper, Paper Smooches- sentiment, EK Success- music note & corner punches, Recollections- star punch & Glossy Accents 
On my second card I used OWH Sketch #241 and the sweet Flower Bird image.
Supplies: Copics, MFT- sentiment, Recollections- paper, heart punch & sm. circle punch, Sizzix- flower EF, Joy Crafts- flower die

 I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to Sandy, the OWH board and all of the volunteers for your years of hard work and dedication to OWH!
I feel so proud to have been a part of this wonderful organization!! :o)

 Have a happy & safe Memorial Day weekend and have fun hopping!

    The Rock Star card is so much fun--just filled with joy. And the bird, just makes me giggle, she is so cute.

    These are bold and eye catching! And very well executed with all the layers.

    Amazing how a sketch can look so different-the endless great versions!
