Just because The POW does not have enough things on her plate already, Creative Me somehow got control of the laptop and was trolling the internet looking for challenges. She stumbled upon a site that really spoke to her…
Operation Write Home. This is an organization that collects cards and sends them to the Troops so that they can write home to their loved ones (since there is no Hallmarks or stationary stores in the war zones).
Their Wednesday Challenge was a barnyard card. Now, OCD Me was busy cleaning the house for the Super Bowl and we had our regular layout to assemble, and PA Me put that off until Thursday night, but Creative Me was busy planning. As soon as the Super Bowl ended, we were creating sheep.
Our first one failed. Girl Friday and Illusive Middle Child donated their thumbprints for faces, and then it was time for bodies! First, Creative Me tried to make a white flocked sheep, but the flock…while soft ad fuzzy…was too transparent. Then Creative Me tried three other ways…liquid aplique, white pen, and stickles and liked them all!
SO, here are our three sheep…er ewes (which if you are translating this from English to another language ewe (a female sheep) sounds like you in English).
Liquid aplique
stickles
white gel pen

Lambs are my favorite farm animal, so I love all your cards. I'm not sure about stickles, but glitter is not allowed on OWH cards for safety reasons. Thanks for sharing.

wow those are adorable!
I'm so glad you found Operation Write Home! Your cards are really cute.
Vicki is correct that OWH can't use cards with glitter or glitter products on them. Our soldiers don't get to wash up like we do and when glitter gets on their clothing they can be seen by night vision and are in grave danger.
Thanks for playing in our Midweek Throwdown challenge at Operation Write Home and I hope to see you again and again! :)
Omgosh..I LOVE those sheep!! I really like the gel pen and aplique ones, the white really stands out!
