I didn’t get to make something for all 10 of the Operation Write Home Labor Day Virtual Card Making Party challenges, but I did complete 6 of them.  Well, 5 1/2.  Challenge #7 was to create a Christmas card that one of our military men or women could send home to a child, and to make an “AnyHero” Christmas card that could be given to one of our heroes overseas who is in need of a morale boost.  I only had time today to make one card, and I chose to make a card for a child.

I had this Christmas set from Lawn Fawn out already from my challenge #5 card.  This time I used different stamps from it.  Once again, I used the current Lawnscaping challenge sketch for the layout.  Instead of the scalloped border, I fussy cut along the chevron pattern of the designer paper.  I moved the sentiment to the bottom corner of the card because it fit better there than in the location designated on the sketch.  The teddy bear and the present were stamped on a scrap of cardstock, colored and fussy cut, and then attached to the circle.  I originally planned to have two presents, but the two of them and the bear didn’t fit well.  So I decided to add the second present to the inside of the card.

So, that’s the last of the Virtual Card Making Party challenges that I’ll have time to complete this year.  It’s been fun, and I’m already looking forward to the next OWH VCMP!
