Thank You Hopping


Happy Memorial Day!  
Thank You if someone in your family served in the Armed Forces!!!
Operation Write Home is having a Blog Hop this weekend.  The theme is Thank You and we were asked to make a card with one of the many OWH Sketches.


I really like this older sketch and tried making one very similar but ended up with squares that were too big so I thought it would make a great AnyHero card!


It is fun to make a larger card sometimes and AnyHero cards are the place to do it.


I tried again and used the measurements that OWH gives {I love that they do that!} as a guide.


  This card has 1.75" inner squares and 2" outer squares.


I have been wanting to use one of the SRM stickers and thought this would be perfect card.

Be sure to check out as many blogs as you can; you may win a prize!

  7. I really like your first card, the colors are wonderful. These make great masculine cards.

    Today I am thankful for community. We live in a smaller town and our church/school friends have become a second family to us, even though we have family close by. Community is a great thing. :)

  10. I love both of your cards. It is really nice that OWH provides info on what dimensions are on their sketches. But I think the best thing about sketches is that they are open to interpretation.

  31. Pretty colors and DP! The brad is so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Beautiful! I love the colors in the first card. You did a wonderful job on both of them. Having the measurements helps tremendously!
