I love to play with acrylics, watercolors, colored pencils, papers, rubber stamps, inks and all sorts of other art medias. I am not very good with coming up with ideas of my own to create. So instead of just sitting on the sidelines and wishing that I was more talented I start creating by what others have created on blogs, websites, you tube, free tutorials and paid online classes. A lot of the time my work looks very similar to theirs, but I am learning, playing and having fun, fun, fun.

Stars and Stamps Sketch Challenge #53
http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/01/s-sketch-challenge-53.html
I decided to make several of this layout as Mother's Day cards.
I have made a card very similar to this one using the same image and the same colors.
Thanks for looking!

Donating Cards to Operation Write Home.
OWH is currently having a Spring Thaw half and half challenge.
http://operationwritehome.org/challenge.htmlHalf of the cards you send should be either Spring, Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day. The other half should be anytime cards (Birthday, Blank, I Love you, I miss you). So far I have 44 Seasonal and 54 anytime. My 2 sisters and niece have donated more cards than I have had time to make. I think this box will hold around 250 with envelopes. I need to get busy!
If anyone else would like to support OWH by donating cards (and have me ship them) please have them to me by February 13. I will stamp the logo on the back and tuck them into envelopes. Please be sure to check OWH website for the specific guidelines in what they want for their donated cards.
