Welcome to our Operation Write Home Memorial Day Sketch Blog Hop!

I LOVE OWH sketches and have a few cards today sharing those sketches.

My first card uses OWH Sketch #79 one of my very favorites!


The cute ladybug is from Bugaboo Stamps and colored with Copic markers.

  45. Adorable cards! I'm going to have to check out Bugaboo stamps! Just love your choices. The Lady bug is so bright and colorful. I like your choice of red with blk polka dot paper. Like the boy & dog too with the dry embossing in the background and dew drops on the side! I absolutely loved the lil' cowboy. Liked the textured paper as an accent behind the image. Very well done!

  53. Jan,

    These are adorable! First of all, the coloring is so well done. I'm quite envious! But, then your attention to detail -- like the brown beads on either side of your missing you card -- adds so much to each card.

  76. You always amaze me with all of your fabulous cards! These cards are definately winners in my heart! They are all fabulous, but I adore the little cowboy since we call my youngest DGS "Roo" which is short for Buckaroo. It's no surprise that you used a dog on one of the cards. I love see updates about your boxer. Thanks again for all that you do for OWH!!!
