Oldie Moldie Monday, Sweet Sunday Sketch, Paper Players Unite


Welcome to Monday - time to show some love to your older supplies.  The paper is from My Mind;s Eye - I love the colors in this collection - somewhat vintage but also rustic.  I had made a card yesterday with this same paper for the sketch challenge on Operation Write Home's card blog Stars and Stamps.

The card is based on the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch.  Hard to believe, but I stayed pretty true to this sketch.  I think that is a first for me in a long time.  I used my Silhouette to cut the banner.  The sentiment is from Paula - an active Operation Write Home designer.  This sentiment makes such a wonderful card for our Heroes to send home to their loved ones.

The card is also for the challenge on The Paper Players to Give Thanks.

There are so many things to be thankful for.  We need to take a little time each day to think about the things we are thankful for - it will make each day a little better.

Today and every day - I am thankful for my family.

Beautiful card Barb! That paper is gorgeous as is the sentiment. The distressing adds the perfect finishing touch.

This is stunning, Barb! I love the mix of papers (one of my FAVES) and the simple sentiment as the focus is fantastic! Thanks for playing along this week @ SSSC :)
