Several challenges done using Stickers & Scraps to make OWH cards!

I bought some paper off Ebay and the seller sent me a little baggie of stickers as a free gift. I started to give them to my grandchildren when I thought, Hmmmm...they are awfully cute, use them.

So I challenged myself to make some OWH cards with the cute stickers. 

I must say some of the cards turned out really cute.

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - DT Military Card

Time for another challenge at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays! This week is a military challenge (ex..thank you, birthday, get well card for soldier/veteran, simply a card with a military image on it or anything else that comes to mind.) Remember it can be a card, scrapbook page or maybe a decoration you are making for Memorial Day.

I am hosting a OWH Card Challenge for the Birthday Bash at Paper Secrets

Hey to all my followers, we need more card makers to join in the party!

I am hosting a Challenge at the Paper Secrets Birthday Bash Online Crop Party this weekend!

My challenge is to pull out all those leftover BIRTHDAY themed stickers you have from previous projects. Grab some scrap paper, ribbon and etc. from your stash and create 4 to 6, A2 size Birthday cards from the stuff gathered.

Entries are due by Monday April 4th, 11:59pm PST
Upload your project to the gallery album titled "write home" & you will be entered to win a great prize!

And as a bonus challenge!
Leave a comment on Paper Secrets Birthday A2 Cards Forum, that you pledge to send those cards to Operation Write Home and you will be entered in a special drawing for a $10 gift certificate to Circle B Enterprises Scrapbooking and More Store!

Here is some of the Guidelines to making OWH cards:

No Glitter - It's a safety hazard for our heroes!
A2 sized cards: that is 4.25" x 5.5" - half a sheet of cardstock!
Line cards made with dark cardstock with white paper - if a pencil won't show up, add a liner!
Do NOT handwrite sentiments - Neither outside or inside the cards!

When ready to mail your cards, just go to Operation Write Home mail room at http://www.operationwritehome.org/mailroom.html to get the address nearest you and all the details for preparing your cards to mail.

Here is the stickers I pulled out for the Challenge!
