It took me all week to do it, but I finally finished the OWH Sketch Challenge from last Sunday. The image for the card is a hummingbird getting nectar from a flower. I chose the hummingbird because it makes me think of Sandy Allnock. She's the heartbeat of OWH, and like a hummingbird's heart, she goes incredibly fast to do all she does.
I did a dozen cards for this sketch challenge - lots of learning how to color better, how to fix mistakes (fussy cutting!!! or adding a sentiment layer), how to choose paper combinations, etc. These cards will go toward the "Duty Honor Cards" drive due by Independence Day.

Mix it up Monday w/ Summer Fun, and Challenge 173
LOL! I just discovered this post was still in my "draft" stage - from summer 2011! Well, I'm learning (gradually) about blogging.
*******************************************************************************
Here are a couple of new cards made for challenges.
Stamp TV's last "Mix it up Monday" challenge was to do a Clean and Simple sketch. I chose to do that sketch using summer colors to fulfill the challenge on the Crafty Purple Frog site. http://craftypurplefrogchallenges.blogspot.com/

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 173 was "Going Round in Circles" so I chose to do the card body in a circle. Cut with Nestabilities just slightly inside the top edge, so the fold is at the top. It made me think of a canon ball or cherry bomb, so "Have a Blast" is a Happy Birthday card. Seen here on an A2 envelope, it shows that even with the 'fuse' lite, it will fit for standard mailing.

Trying Something New
I've never really been into 'blogging' but decided to give it a try. I enjoy doing the StampTV 'blog hops' and thought it couldn't hurt to learn more about blogging.
