Neat and clean! I love the examples that were posted, too. It's called <a href="http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Freshly Made Sketches</a>. Check them out! Here's the sketch I used for this anniversary card I made for my nephew and his lovely wife. I messed it up, though, when I glued it down... The perfectionist in me wanted to dump it and start over, but I resisted. I guess I will get to say it's unique, right? Anyways, here's the sketch I "fashioned" it from and my "unique" card...<br />

We actually got over 50 today and the snow is melting FAST! It's just a little teaser though, as we're expected to be in the 20's on Wednesday. I don't mind. I'll take whatever we can get.<br />
<br />
I love this week's Operation Write Home sketch #215! I tend to gravitate towards sharp, clean lines when I card make and I love matting. So this sketch is right up my alley. It's neat and sharp and clean... Anyway, here's the sketch I used and what I came up with. I loved it so much that I made 4 cards!<br />

Expecting about 25 degrees below zero. Yikes! Good night to craft!<br />
<br />
I LOVE the Operation Write Home Sketch #214 for today!! I love the clean lines of it. I will definitely use this sketch a lot! This is a terrific sketch for use of scraps, for sure. That's what I used on these two cards. I believe the paper was from Paper Wishes. I used grosgrain ribbon on one and baker's twine on the other. I just got a bunch of baker's twine from LTD Commodities. I love the stuff! It came in just about every color of the rainbow. Here's what I made tonight...<br />

We again are under a warning for wind chills and it is expected to be 17 below zero tonight. It's getting old... I'm really ready for spring to arrive.<br />
<br />
On a bright note... I am VERY excited to report that our new Golden Retriever puppy was born on Friday, February 21st! We should be bringing her home sometime around Easter. Dutchess is going to be a great big sister. She's been lonely since losing Cedar.<br />
<br />
Here's the Cookin' Up Creations Saturday Sketch Challenge for March 1st:<br />

Yes. I did a scrapbook layout. I'll say it again. I did a scrapbook layout! I think it's been almost a year since I've done a layout. I enjoyed it very much, but it just takes me so stinkin' long to complete one. I way over-think things and then get frustrated. I put a little too much pressure on myself.</div>

GO USA!!! I've been enjoying my weekend with my daughter, who came home from college for the weekend. We've been watching the Olympics together which has been a ton of fun. My favorite events to watch are probably curling, skeleton, luge, bobsled, snowboarding, hockey and ice dancing.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
First, here's my take on the latest Operation Write Home sketch. Very simple. Very easy!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We're anticipating more snow tomorrow (around 6 inches) so I see some more card making in my future. I was looking through all my stamps and realized just how many stamps I haven't used very much, if at all. Yes. I have a LOT of stamps I purchased and haven't even used. I'm sure no one else out there has that issue [Wink, wink]. Anyhow, I am going to challenge myself each week to use some of those sad, lonley, neglected stamps in my collection. Here are my selections for this week. These are Hero Arts background stamps that are really fun to layer with. Can't wait to get creative with them!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Well, until next time...</div>

Am I weird because I like watching curling? I find it quite intriguing. I may just have to research it a bit and find out exactly how it is played. I really loved the funky pants that Team Norway was sporting, too. My hubby said they reminded him of the Partridge Family bus.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway,  here's a few cards I made tonight. My mojo wasn't really flowing. I don't think that they're my best work. But they're definitely not my worst. </p>

My husband. Not so much. So, because he is the king of the remote, I'll be spending a lot more time in my scrap studio the next couple of weeks! He totally frustrates me when we watch television together. He spends more time watching what he's missing than what he's watching. Can I get an amen?! I know I'm not the only girl out there that has a channel flipper in the house. Anyway, I've spent the last two nights in my scrap studio doing a little straightening up and some Olympic creating. Here's a few cards I did.</p>

The first couple hours were spent cleaning it up from my Christmas projects. It was bad... then I settled in and created these cards for my daughter and her college roommate for Valentine's Day. I am still getting a bit frustrated with my Copic markers. I love the results of shading and all but I can't seem to learn how to stop the bleeding. You know what they say though... practice makes perfect, so I guess I need to use them more if I want to learn. There is definitely a learning curve with Copic markers. Anyway, here's my creations. </p>

My sister gets mad at me because we're not supposed to exchange gifts but I've made it my tradition to do a small handmade gift of some sort for each family. It's only for 3 families so it's not that huge of an undertaking usually. I've made ornaments and truffles in the past. This year I chose to take a wooden "Family" plaque and collage photos from each of the families on it and then finish it with glossy Mod Podge. They turned out really nice, I think. What do you think?<br />

I have done some things during the year, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. Anyway, here's some of what I did...<br />
<br />

Made this birthday card for my husband's grandfather who turned 100 years old this summer! I can't even imagine all the things he must have seen in his lifetime.<br />

This card I made for my nephew who graduated high school. I took his graduation announcement and cut out the embossed logo and added it to the card.<br />

Just an empty can that I spray painted black and wrapped in cheese cloth. Then I added googly eyes and some candy, of course!<br />

It's me again! I saw this idea on Oriental Trading so I decided to make these for all the college kids from our church and send them to them at school. My daughter just happens to be one of them... :) They're made with microwave popcorn packets, a pair of gloves, some felt, a button, a little scrap of ribbon and a pre-printed face. I think they turned out really cute.<br />

I've been really struggling to find time to craft this past year. I have been adjusting to working full time and still making time to create. I decided to make my Christmas cards again this year. For several years I've been doing the photo cards, but I have been seeing so many really great handmade cards online and it was giving me the bug to make them again. I made about 70 cards of several different designs. So, here's what I made for this year...<br />
