(Please scroll all the way to the end of this post -- I decided that I need to redo this card!)Here is a card I've made to send to Operation Write Home. I have used the sketch from Card Patterns Sketch 101 and the color combo from Annabelle's Stamps Challenge to Say It in Chocolate, Blue and Pink.
You have probably heard about a special campaign for Katie Renz, a designer for Clear Dollar Stamps, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. Several stamp companies banded together in an effort to help Katie and her family pay for her medical bills. You can find the information about the stamps and how you can help at Jak Heath's blog. Jak is now hosting a contest to make a card with one of the images that you receive when you make your donation. You can find info about the contest here. My image comes from Clear Dollar Stamps and it is part of a set of several sewing images and sentiments. I learned about the contest from a fellow blogger -- thanks, Donna!
On a personal note, it warmed up here today (that made me so very happy!) and we also had someone else come to look at our house which is for sale -- We'll just have to pray that something good comes from the visit!
Edited to Add: I had to redo this card. The more I looked at it, the less I liked the "honking big" brads on the top right. They were fighting with the polka dots and with the focal image. So, here is my card with smaller brads!!

Super awesome card GF! Happy you have lookers... more than we have :0)
I'm with you... I like the smaller brads, but both cards are awesome!
Yep agree, the smaller brads are best, as I did think of smarties when I saw the bigger of the two.... love the stamp.
Betty,
Great card I like both of them, your right the smaller brads are less distracting.
okay I vote for smaller. Good luck selling the house~!!!! Glad it warmed up there, I know it makes you feel better!!
Love your cards Betty! I like the smaller brads on your card though those bigger ones are great .....perhaps to liven up a card with just a sentiment!
Thanks for playing along with AnnaBelle Stamps again Betty we love seeing your cards. Good Luck!
Fabulously colorful, and I like the smaller brads also. :)

I love the image you have used for this card - it looks like a fantastic image to colour. I agree, both cards are great, but the second is my favourite. Thanks for joining in with this week's challenge.
