Hello! Here is the newest sketch for OWH operationwritehome.org.
I missed last week's midweek throwdown...this time of year I am challenged to find time to create. After missing a challenge, I was determined to have a fabulous card today...not happening! LOL
I am not sure what I do not love about the card.. I like the MME Darling Dear paper, I like the bee and sentiment stamps from the Stamps of Life. Maybe it is that it seems like a dark card when in my head it was going to be light and fun. In person- the yellow in the bee matches the yellow in the paper...on my screen the paper looks too brown. And maybe it is that I did not trim my papers evenly at the bottom! lol Or maybe I need to do something else to all that white around the bees!
I am going to try to wade through the bags of gifts strewn about my house and made a card for the Our Daily Bread challenge- a flower card....that should be easier for me!
Before I go- I want to share 2 links.
I know most of the traffic on my blog is from OWH- but just in case anyone missed it, Sandy Allnock, President of OWH, did a great tutorial...it is really fun! You choose a sketch, a theme, a technique etc and there are videos for each and every choice you make! I only viewed a few of them- but what a fun idea..and hopefully will inspire some great cards for our troops. operationwritehome/org/icp
A truly fun site is Portable North Pole- you enter information for a child or adult, naughty or nice and they create a video with Santa and his elves! What fun for kids young and old to hear Santa talk about them and some of their characteristics...you can even add a photo--to make it really personal- and it is free! I sent a video to 2 of my nieces who are away at college... cannot wait for them to check it out!
I plan to make about 6 more! Try it-little children go crazy when Santa says their names! I have used the site for the past 3 or 4 years- no spam or any issues with the site. portablenorthpole.com
Have a great week!

Those little bees are darling. Quite often I go through what you are experiencing today with this card. I feel it "needs" a change or something added but can't figure out what. I, personally find your card very nice just the way it is. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteI love your paper mix...the image and sentiment! tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane. I Know how you feel. Most often this great vision in my head is not the way it turns out.But I have to tell you that your card is adorable! I love the paper and the bee with the bling is so cute....great card!
ReplyDeleteCute card Diane, and I love those bees. I think we all have problems with those darn visions in our heads. But really, your card is cute.
