Below you will find my "spring card" which is based on Shirley's #8 sketch from this week's challenge at OWH-thanks so much Shirley I will definitely be using this template a lot! This card along with others pictured will eventually make its way into the hands of one of our deployed American Hero's for the purpose of writing home to a family member! I first began by adopting a soldier through www.adoptaussoldier.org, in November of 09 and quickly made it one of my favorite causes. Soon after I came to know of OWH through facebook connections. Though I had never made a card before I immediately loved the idea and decided to try it. I've dabbled in crafts from sculpey to acrylic painting and most everything in between but was never into the scrap-booking thing. So I've been making cards now for about 3 1/2 months and Hobby Lobby has replaced Wal-Mart as my favorite place to shop!
One interesting thing I find is that when I create a card I have to give it the overnight test. If I like it then I sleep on it...if I still like it in the morning I don't tear it apart and start over! LOL. Today I got my Cuttlebug albeit against my husbands wishes...lol. If you are new like me it won't take you but a few months and perhaps X amount of dollars wasted on other stuff to realize you NEED this contraption!
I hope you like my card and please leave a comment because I LOVE comments. I'm also new to blogging with just having gotten this blog up this week in time for the hop so I hope you will follow me or stop by again soon!
Now hop on over to Caro's blog... Scraps of time

This is just to cute....I love it...thank you for sharing it with us......
I know what you mean about sleeping on your cards... half the time if I think I HATE a card and it seems irretrievable, I'll set it aside for a few days and when I come back to it I've figured out that either it's not that bad after all, or else there's a way I can salvage it. I hate wasting all that hard work and supplies! I don't have a cuttlebug, but I got a Cricut for Christmas and I love it! :)
Your card is so cute....
You know what I love best is that cute little fence :) Thanks for sharing your card! I love it!
