May Arts Patriot Day Sketch Challenge

Boy, it's been awhile since I've posted anything.  I was working like crazy designing cards and making up kits to have an Operation Write Home (OWH) birthday party at work, and then it became too "political" for my workplace.  So now I have LOTS of cards all ready to assemble by myself!  LOL!    Check out Operation Write Home site and the Stars and Stamps blog.

Anyway, Sandy, as a new Ribbonista on May Arts blog, presented the challenge to use this sketch and make a Thank You card for a local hero - like a firefighter or police officer.  See the video here:

The sketch has LOTS of bits, and Sandy encouraged me to only use papers from my "scrap" stash.  Every bit was in my 'bits & pieces' left over from previous creative sessions.

I started with the M&M paper, and then looked for a sentiment to fit.  Happened to have "You're one of the good ones!" from a Stampin' Up set.  Made me think about how my stepfather used to say "the green ones make you . . ." well, anyway, how people often have a favorite M&M color. Although it doesn't say "thank you" on the outside, the inside will have plenty of words of appreciation for our local police force.  They have been really good to work with this summer on some issues in our community. 

I'll post the cards I designed for the birthday party, and a few others I've done lately, one at a time for the next few weeks.  Have a good day.
