OWHtv: Episode .....I WON

This weeks OWHtv Sandy our host for the show each week was giving away a box of envelopes to 1 lucky winner.  I want to say Congrats to that winner.  Sandy decided to also give away OWH patches and a card sent to you by her for 10 more lucky winners.....................Wait for it...........Wait for it..............I was one of the lucky winners and I want to say a big thank you to OWH and to Sandy for picking me to be one of the lucky 10 winners of a card and patch.  So I would like to say THANK YOU.   This is a great group of card makers and it is a great cause to make cards for.  I am a person who if I can help I will do my best to help out how ever I can.





Below you will find this weeks OWH live show that is taped every Thursday.  

Next show for Operation Write Home.  Great organization help them out with the extra cards you make and give the troops a way to write home to their loved ones who are missing them like crazy.

When you make a card make a few extra and make their lives a little brighter.

Just wanted to share with you the latest vlog from Sandy Allnock, President of Operation Write Home.

Matchbook Notepads

These are very quick and simple to make and everyone seems to love them.  Below is a video on how to make them.  I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.
Till next time everyone enjoy creating.

OWHtv: Episode 66

Loved the show this week.  Makes me want to get out my scraps and get to work.  Sandy you did a great job and I can not wait till next weeks show.  Until then I will keep making cards.

I hope you all will join me in making cards for OWH even if it is one card that is one soldier's card home.

I don't claim to be a great craftier nor do I plan on ever saying that I am.  I love what I do and, I have fun doing it.  I will always love creating something that someone might enjoy.  If I can make one persons day brighter or help out a person say "I can do that" then I have done well.

 The little flowers are shaped and glued together in layers and centered with a crystal gem.

These TINY flowers are shaped and centered with a crystal gem.

FLOWERS I HAVE BEEN CREATING

Some of the flowers I have been working on all made out of card stock.
The two on the left is made from scalloped circles, the red flower is made from punched pear shaped card stock and  the lower right is made from the small retro flower punch.

The flowers I made in this picture the ones to the left are made of scrap strips of printed scrapbook paper , the yellow one is punched out of scraps of card stock and the white one is from a book page that was headed for the trash that I grabbed to make flowers with.

Have a great day everyone.
