Hello blog hoppers,If you are starting with me you just may want to go back to the beginning so you don't miss anything. Just click HERE.
If you are a cardmaker or wanna be cardmaker here is a quote from a family that has been touched by Operation Write Home...
I am writing today to thank you. I adore letters. To the point that my husband (now on his third deployment) and I have chosen them as our source of communication. We both love holding pieces of each other in our hands, and we have passed that love onto our kids. They choose not to Skpe with him, would pass on a phone call at times, but his letters -- oh how they squeal for them. My husband has lately been using cards from Operation Write Home. And he loves them; as do I. I can't thank you enough.
M.S.
When I originally read this I just wanted to sit down and make a bunch of cards. If this inspires you as well please go to the Operation Write Home for all the details on helping out.
So with that being said I am challenging myself to make a card for each comment left on my blog for this hop.
Here is my card. I think M.S. and her family would love receiving this patriotic miss you card.
Here is a close up of the flower. I curve it a bit with my pen and added foam tape to pop it off the card.
Stamps: Flower CTMH, Miss You The Paper Company Studio
Copic markers, CTMH stamp pads
Ribbon: Offray
