It is Sunday - time to get your Operation Write Home - Stars and Stamps sketch going. It is my jump start to hopefully a little creativity for Sunday. Sometimes I need to get my cards done on the week end for the week because work - sometimes just drains the creativity right out of your soul. I hate that when it happens.
I think people wonder how I get the sketch done so early in the morning - well for the most part I am an early riser - today worse than normal 3 something in the morning - my dishes are done - sketch plus one more card done. I will then shower and go get groceries and possibly take a snooze after that - we will see. But back to the sketch - I usually have an idea on Saturday night what paper I want to use, I will sometimes already have a couple images ready to go also that coordinate with the paper. Once I see the sketch - hopefully some of the things I have pre-determined will work. Today it did. Plus you get a second card - lucky OWH. Isn't this the cutest paper from Little Yellow Bicycle - plus it is double sided. The red and brown I used were on the design table from my Oldie Moldie Monday creations (come back tomorrow for three cards). The stamp is a dollar stamp I bought somewhere - but it is great for love cards for OWH.
Here is the second card using the strip of owls on the paper. With the addition of an SRM Sticker - I have another fall love card.
Everyone enjoy your Sunday.

Love these owl-y cards and that paper! Yes, I'm always wondering how you get your cards posted so early. I was even suspicious that you have a connection on the "inside", lol. Seven is the earliest I get up these days, but just like you, trying out the newest sketch is one of my first jobs of the day. (Although we all know it's not really a "job" ;)) Thanks again for sharing your owls - they're super cute!
Great cards...I have that stamp and have never inked it...I adore two sided paper, it makes things so much easier! TFS!!!
Barb, your little owls are the cutest and I just love these cards!! Sometimes dollar stamps are perfect...I love finds like that. And I just love the little owl on her nest!

Barb -- love the owls. I get up early too-- but regardless of what time -- your cards are usually the first to be posted -- it takes me a bit to get the mojo going. Thanks for your inspiration.
Ahhhhhhhdorable cards! Love that paper! And I love that you are always the first to post :)
Wow, and I thought I was an early riser at 5 a.m.! Seems like the productivity is pretty good at 3, but I still don't think I'll try it.
Great card, love the little owl stamp.
3 am, yes I would consider that early! funny now that I have small kids I desire to sleep in. :) Love your sketch cards, that paper is too cute!!!
So cute, Barb! I have been wondering how you do the sketch so early, you're always in the top two or three! Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
Great cards, Barb! Love that DP! You are a great motivator for all of us!!
Wow! I've written until 3 a.m. lot's of times over the yrs, but getting up then? Not going to happen!
I adore owl cards and yours are wonderful! The super paper really pops them!
These cards are so cute! I loved this LYB line!
Those owls are adorable and I love the papers you used on your cards. Both cards are fabulous.
