sketch 56

Good Afternoon Everyone!!

Another busy week here in Germany :) Everyone is healing fine from our accident last week and we are now focusing on getting the house in order so we can get ready for our big move back to the States! I am getting sooo super duper excited, but nervous at the same time....Im kind of addicted to my scrapbooking supplies, but can only pack a 50 pound suitcase....and clothes are kind of a must lol....so Im torn between what to pack, and what to leave behind :/

Anyhoo, here is the sketch for week 56, and below is my take on it. I combined last week's MWT with this week's sketch and voila, here ya go :)



Hope you are all having a beautiful week and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! <3

sketch #55

Hello there everyone!




This sure has been one busy week.....My husband and I have been married for 4 years today!!! We drove to Berlin on Tuesday for a little anniversary vacation and did a little site-seeing to Checkpoint Charlie, Brandenburg Gate, what's left of the Berlin Wall, lots of fun history stuff to see! Then, on our way home on Wednesday afternoon, we wrecked our car on the Autobahn and had to spend the night in the hospital :/ My husband and I had to stay overnight because I hit my head on the dashboard of our car pretty hard, so they wanted to make sure I didnt have a concussion. Luckily, our son came out of the accident without a scratch!!! Not too many people can say that when it comes to crashes on the autobahn! We got to come home super early this morning and with my sore head, I managed to make this card:











The sketch challenge #55 for Operation Write Home can be found here. I loved the sketch for this week, but was not very impressed by the way mine turned out lol. I think we are all our worst critics sometimes tho, so Im just hoping the person who gets this card likes it enough to send it home to someone they love :)

Happy Friday to you all! Now I'm off to try out this week's Mid-Week Throwdown!!
Happy Crafting to you all!

Focal Point Seminar Cards

Hello there everyone!

Just wanted to post these super cute cards! I absolutely fell in love with the Dora card on the Focal Point Seminar by OWH, and decided I wanted to make some cards like that myself! They arent as perfect as the Dora sample, but I think they still turned out super cute! Enjoy and happy crafting!!

MWT-Farm Animals

Hello everyone!

This week's midweek throwdown has been both challenging and awesome :) Challenging because I found THE cutest farm image ever, but had absolutely NO background paper or embellishments that would go with it :/ It was awesome because it reminds me of the big red barn that sits in front of my Mom's house, which I will be seeing in person, in 26 days!

I hope someone's little one will like this, I know I would!!

Happy Groundhog's Day!! Hope you are all having a beautiful week and I'll see you back here next week for the week 55 sketch challenge!

Sketch #54

Hello there everyone!


It's starting to feel like winter again here in Germany, we even got a dusting of snow last night....we've had a couple of weeks of nice, bearable weather, now its starting to feel like Christmas all over again lol....Since it's so cold outside, my Aidan and I stay inside and do fun crafts together! He is a Play-Doh addict and I make my cards while he's in play mode. I am astonished to see that we can both play at the dining room table together without getting in each other's way....or making a bigger mess!


This week's sketch is for week 54, and you can find the sketch for it here. My take on it was inspired by the focal point seminar posted on the OWH blog, but looks a little different than the sketch because I couldn't find a scrap piece of paper that went with the colors I used, but also didn't compete too much with the red and yellow I already had going on....I hope it looks ok as is though! I have a whole stock pile of cartoon stickers, so I think I will be making a lot more cards like this!

I love to be able to help our deployed heroes write and send some love home to the special kids in their lives!





Hope you are all having a beautiful week, and for those of you getting all that snow back home, I hope you don't have to go out in it, but if you do, try to stay warm and safe!
Happy crafting,
Turtle aka Sara
