Another OWH Card using one of my new stamps

Whew! We've made it through another one of those Mondays following a holiday!!! I don't know about you, but after getting spoiled on those days off it sure is hard to get out of bed on Monday morning. Maybe I should start taking Mondays off after holidays, except then Tuesday just becomes Monday....

Ok, so I've decided to make some more cards to go with the Valentines cards for Operation Write Home (OWH) and since they need Missing You cards for adults to send to their kiddos I made a couple of stamps Saturday that fit the theme. While digging through my old stamps I came across this darling Honeybear from Fiskars (do they even make stamps anymore?) and then found the perfect paper in a pad from the angel company called "Country Cottage". The Honeybear stamp has stars in the background, so I dug out my homemade stars embossing folder and got to work making a couple of cards. I ended up regluing that corner you see sticking up in this picture. To meet the OWH Sunday Challenge #50 I used the sketch below. If you're interested in joining you can enter your card here. The sketch is below before my card.



I am entering this card in the following challenges and invite you to join in the fun too! (Thank you Lisa for the inspiration! You've GOT to go look at the card she made over at The Purple Place!)
