Little Yellow Bicycle, SRM Stickers and Operation Write Home
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!
Hi Barb! I love what you did with OWH Sketch #133 and your extra card, too-- those layers are fabulous, the papers are yummy, and those owls and sentiment are so sweet. Thanks for your great samples!

PS-- I am a 3:00am card maker too:D
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.
