Welcome! I am overjoyed that you are here to join in the celebration for OWH's birthday! You show your support for our troops and OWH when you create wonderful cards but how about kicking it up a notch? Create a card with elements that represent each letter of Operation Write Home!
Can you see my homage to OWH?
O~ there are an odd number of octagons and an odd number of rhinestones
W~ warm winter wishes and a woolen hat and scarf, and the star is mounted on wood
H~ On his head is a hat and he is happy and a tiny bit husky and even though I think those are cranberries- I could pretend they are holly berries!
And as a bonus- I have 1 more O---and ornament on the inside made from honeypop paper! Oooooh- don't you love when there is a surprise inside the card! (This card gets put entirely inside the envelope!)
I used Inky Antics stamps and honeypop paper, Copic markers, Spellbinder dies, SU punches,Queen and Co gems, and papers from Bazzill, MME, American Crafts and SEI.
Do you need help and some hints, some words to get your creativity into overdrive? I bet if you look at your crafty supplies you will find lots of ways to put a little extra OWH into your cards! It can be in the sentiment, the theme- whatever works for you!
O- orange, ombre, orbit, outer space, over, orangutan, old, oink, one, otter, octopus, owl, oval, whiskers, wobble
W- wagon, wheels, watch, wonder, wag, worm, world, walrus, whale, wolf, white, wreath, window, welcome, wings
H- hand, heart, hi, hello, howdy, hot air balloon, hero, house, harvest, hugs, helicopter, horse, HO-HO-HO
I hope you have fun with the challenge and share your card with us at the link below! And if you would like to win this very cool tool set by WRMK please leave a comment and a way to reach you- and I will draw a winner on Sept 8, 2013.

Great challenge! Are you going to have a linky for us to use?
ReplyDeleteI thought I had it-but it is not showing up- I emailed Allison for some help! Sorry!
Deleteno worries, I thought you were like me & had forgotten it ;-) not like anybody is needing it right this second or anything
DeleteWhat a great idea! This is going to require some thought. Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove this card!!! Hmmm now what to do for mine?!?!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh Diane!!! You are a total hoot!!! I love all your Os Ws and Hs!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great cause as well! Craft on sistah!
What a great challenge.
ReplyDeleteLots to think about on this one! Thanks for the fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I'll have to put my thinking cap on to meet this challenge. But none the less, I WILL come up with something. Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! Thanks for a great challenge.
ReplyDeleteOH WOW Diane! This is simply the cutest card and the honeycomb paper is the bomb! What a clever idea for your challenge. Gotta put my thinking cap on for this one. lol
ReplyDeleteSuper fun challenge idea Diane and your snowman is adorable! Can't wait to see all the cards that get linked up for this. Thanks for hosting a VCMP challenge this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat was a way fun challenge, and I LOVE the way you interpreted it! (I never would've thought of going with a snowman for this one!) And I laughed about the "husky." It was also one of the few times that I actually had something in mind I could use as soon as I saw it. Which is very seldom the case. Thanks for hosting this challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative challenge. I am going to think while I clean the kitchen, then reward myself with more card making fun. You can contact me at cynthiarosedesigns@hotmail.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust goes to prove crafty people think outside the box!
ReplyDeleteI too laughed at the "husky" comment - perhaps he needs some "toughskins" jeans?? LOL. Love your color pallet. Thanks for supporting OWH.

I'll be home to my supplies in about 14 hours. Between now and then, I'll have time to think of my OWH supplies. :)

ReplyDeleteDiane, thanks for your terrific challenge. I had to ponder the elements for awhile but it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card with some great ideas to represent OWH! I'm partial to that "husky" dude on the front. :) I got a late start, but at least I get to see lots of great cards from some uber taleted OWH supporters! Thanks also for the chance to win the WRMK tool kit...I haven't seen it before, but it would be perfect to take along when making cards with others.
ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute card - love the surprise inside! I can imagine a child getting this and just wearing it out with all the opening and closing. :)Also, loved your challenge. It's always good to have to use your brain on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the surprise inside your card! And fantastic blog candy. Yes, I would like to be entered for a chance for that.
ReplyDeleteVery cool card! I would love to win this blog candy!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Great challenge - it makes you think outside of the box! I am almost glad to be away from my craft room so I have some extra time to think about what I want to use! Thanks for the unusual challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Love the way you tied OWH into the challenge. bpyenoratyahoodotcom
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome idea love it! Can't wait to find some time to play!
ReplyDeleteDidn't think that would be so hard, but it was! Finally figured one out to come up with the OWH on my card!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge. It was fun to see what I could come up with all by myself. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge! I'm going to have to think about this one some! -Thia
ReplyDeleteThanks for sponsoring such a creative challenge!

This was a tough challnge Diane but I'm so glad I took it! In the end I am wicked Stoked about my card. Oops! that's my Boston accent poking through. lol Thanks for sharing in the VCMP!
ReplyDeleteAmy
What a fun challenge, Diane! I had to think about it a bit but I really enjoyed it and I can see that it inspired lots of beautiful cards! Thanks for hosting our VCMP challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your card in the VCMP! This would be fun using lots of other short words: HERO, LOVE, etc... Great Inspiration!
ReplyDeleteClever idea. This one really made me put my thinking cap on!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge - love all the OWH "words"! ;-) I'll be cranking out my cards later today.
ReplyDeleteNice challenge. I LOVE your snowman, and have always been a fan of your coloring. I think OWL was a popular idea...
ReplyDeleteHey, this challenge idea looks familiar! :D

I'm hoping to play along later this week! Thanks for your support of OWH.
Thanks for the fun challenge! Loved your idea and sample.
ReplyDeletethis was a fun one, had to put my thinking cap on! Had lots of ideas for the O part... the others stumped me trying to coordinate it all. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun creating for your challenge! Your snowman card is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Your snowman is just so cute! This was a very fun challenge! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI had to think about this one, but once I checked in the box of fall images there were the ORANGE pumpkins in the WHEELBARROW at HARVEST time. Thanks for this challenge! It's fun to see all the thumbnails and try to figure out each person's OWH.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and challenging challenge ! Also the fun colors on your adorable snowman card are great.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Card - but the challenge is too much for me at 2:30 AM - I made one and cheated a little, LOL

Diane, your card is so cute! I don't need any more tools so please don't put me in your drawing but I wanted to thank you for this fun and clever challenge!
