Tuesday Throwdown # 68

This week is a special challenge along with our theme of Thinking Of You, we are asking you to send the cards you make to Operation Write Home.

In case you're not familiar with Operation Write Home, they are a non-profit organization that provides handmade greeting cards to help American soldiers keep in touch with their loved ones back home. OWH is celebrating its birthday this month, and since it gets its stock from crafters like us, we thought we'd help them celebrate by helping them grow their stock of cards through our challenge this week.

To help inspire you to participate in our bonus challenge, we are offering a special bonus prize this week -- a $20 gift certificate to spend at My Grafico! To be entered into this drawing, you must mail your card to OWH, and then designate that by typing "OWH" after your name when you link up.

Sentimentally Challenged

Happy Sunday I hope you are having a blessed Sunday. This week at Sentimental Sundays our challenge is to Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone/ Try Something New. This week the Ways To Use It challenge was to use a lunch sack on your project well that is something new for me so I decided to make it for this challenge as well. The lunch sack challenged me as to how was I going to use it on a card and then I went for my morning walk and seen the leaves on the ground and "light bulb" I knew what I wanted to do for my card. I stamped the leaves on a brown lunch sack,cut them out and used gold leaf to give them the golden color (another challenge in itself..haha). I then scrunched them to make them look more realistic.
I hope you will play along with us this week, to do that just create a project using something new or challenging to you and link it to the Sentimental Sundays challenge blog for a chance to win.
