K n K Designs Little Sheep


Hello and Happy Labor Day weekend!  I hope you are enjoying a peaceful holiday weekend where ever you might be.  We live in a very small resort town in western Arizona and are over run with tourists this weekend!  It's a good time to stay in and craft I'm thinking...  

My card today is a sample for the Operation Write Home Sketch #85.  Julie is our sketch artist and she asked a few of us on the OWH team if we'd like to make sample cards with her sketch for today's challenge.  We are celebrating Operation Write Home's second birthday as an org. the entire month of September and have K n K Designs as one of our first prize sponsors! We'll have lots of other fabulous sponsors and fun stuff going on too!

I've had K n K Designs Little Sheep for awhile now and thought this sketch would be the perfect opportunity to bring it out and use it!  I made a scene and colored everything with Copic markers B0000, B04, V000, V01, V12, R22, R24, R27, YG03, YG61, YG63, YG67, T3, T2, T1.  I used a Spellbinder Mega Oval die and matching scalloped die for my computer generated sentiment.

Be sure to stop by our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog as often as you can this month, you won't want to miss out on any of the fun!

On a personal note I have a fun photo of Maxine for you today...


She'd been singing along with Michael while he practiced playing his saxophone and she looks like she just can't take it anymore.  I've been trying to get a good video of Michael and Maxine while he practices, one day...

Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog today -

LOVE this, Jan!! The scene you creating is adorable, and your clouds are so cool! Love how you colored the sheep darker - I haven't been brave enough with my coloring to try that yet. :) Awww, great picture of Maxine! She's so cute. :)
