This weeks Midweek Throwdown at Operation Write Home Stars & Stripes blog is a stash challenge. The object is to go through your stash of goodies and bring out your stars to use on your card! I couldn't think of any stars I had so I made some from the Stars Spellbinders dies I have.
I had to take a few days to think about the Stars challenge... I actually made a dozen to help fill my OWH box, it's getting closer to the beginning of the month again! When I discovered Operation Write Home I set a goal for myself to send one box of cards a month for our troops.
I found the printed paper at The Cutting Cafe, it's a digital download. I printed one in red and one in navy blue. Here's the same card using the navy printed paper.
In my travels around blog land I found a Memorial Day theme challenge at Pals Paper Arts so I'll enter these there too. They have some gorgeous entries! I think this is my new favorite color scheme, red, white, blue & kraft. That's a good thing with the OWH blog hop coming up Memorial Day weekend, the theme is Red, White & Blue I Miss You! That reminds me you need to check in with The Spotted Chick too she's having a color challenge using kraft!
Edited to add: I found another challenge over at Crafty Cats , the challenge - stars & stripes - we have those! ;)
