Operation Write Home - Sketch 147

This week's sketch is awesome!  I love it!  I plan on using it for everything I do the rest of the week - what a great sketch for using up pretty scraps!  This first one is a cheater - I needed a quick Thanksgiving card.  I was going to cut the wheat into individual pieces, but thought, why bother, I'll just use my artistic license.....
After I had that out of the way, I started to seriously get into this sketch.
It's a little odd, working on Valentines for the heroes at the same time I'm making my own Christmas cards.
 
I realized I was using up a lot of Christmas scraps so I tried to totally switch out of that mode and went for my last project, which celebrates the Sailor being home for the holiday.  
Welcome home, Audrey!

Thanks for looking!  ~Nancy F.

    How wonderful that Audrey is home! H.A.P.P.Y.
    Your cards are fantastic, and I love those wheat bundles, but the patriotic cards will capture me every single time! Well done, all of them!

    Fantastic selection of cards using this sketch. The first one is totally awesome and unique. Of the next 3, my fave has to be that adorable frog. Frogs make me smile :)
