Day Two - VCMP!!!!
Sketch #136 starts off day two of the Virtual Card Making Party for Operation Write Home. I made these two cards for my neighbor, who is constantly fattening me up with her baked goods.
Challenge No. 7 was for Christmas cards - one for a child and one for a hero.
For No. 8, Cherie asked for a sports theme. I only found a swimming stamp and then I remembered a set of sports stickers that I found on sale at Big Lots last year.
My next challenge was to use a neglected tool. This was funny, because it was also discussed on another blog that I follow, Stampin' With The Oldies. I chose my trusty old crimper. When I first got it, I couldn't put it down.
For our last challenge, we were asked to make a card that represents the state we live in. This card doesn't really represent my state, but it's all I could come up with.
Aftermath of two day virtual card making................
Looks like day three will be the big cleanup.

Another wonderful group of cards. Nice cards for your neighbor and those Xmas cards are so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards!! They are all so different. I tend to make the same ones over and over, and appreciate your creativity!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat group of cards...O have that set of stickers and cannot find them at the moment! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI like all of your cards, but the soccer one is my favorite. I love how you used so many stickers and it doesn't look like sneeze. Thanks for playing along.
ReplyDeleteThis really is a great assortment for the challenge! Score on the soccer card, and I think it is so funny what you said about the crimper. I never owned one and always wish I had. Good job, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute set of cards! On each one, you've done a great job of creating a strong focal point.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along with the Christmas is for Kids VCMP challenge!
BTW Your neighbor is sure to love her cards. And, I was the same way about my crimper. Mine came back out for one of the cards I made this weekend, too. (Great minds...)
Ahhh, these are soo great! I LOVE your take on Pennsylvania with the Amish buggy! I think those Amish buggy's are always associated with Lancaster, PA. I love your Halloween card with the crimped panel. I just love that look, and rarely think to get my crimper out and use it! Thanks for all the inspiration, and have yourself a wonderful extended holiday weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of cards! My favorite are the ones you made for your neighbor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with the Stamping with the Oldies blog! LOVE what you did with your crimper!
Way to go, all great cards! Very nicely done. Just wish I wasn't such a SLOW card maker. Takes me forever to make just one card...smile...and believe me, when I am done making even one card...my desk looks a lot worse than the picture of yours....Hope you have a great day...Jill
ReplyDeleteI am jealous - my craft room is completely trashed after the 10 challenges. It doesn't look as good as yours BEFORE I start creating! I think you state card is perfect - PA has large Amish/Mennonite/Anabaptist communities. Really like how you inked the image in the hero Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you're from PA or not, but that's the state I think of when I see buggies! What a nice collection of cards you've made. As was said above, you used your stickers so well on the soccer card and were able to avoid the dreaded "sneeze." Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with our neglected craft tool challenge! I've never heard of Stampin' with the Oldies but since we seem to think so much alike I'll need to head over there! Your card is darling. Halloween is my fave holiday!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Nancy! Your neighbor's going to love those cute baking images. And your desk looks an awful lot like mine, lol! Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteGreat variety! I love the image you picked to represent the state... there are plenty of buggies around here!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen your work space before! It's dreamy!
