There are three posts for me since it is World Card Maker Day - If you are looking for my Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Post please scroll down (THANK YOU!!) I couldn't resist the Operation Write Home Blog Hop today because card making is all about showing those you care about how much they mean to you. They are worth the time and effort you put into a one of a kind creation that you will never find in a store. Seems like a perfect fit for OWH! They have been working with card makers collecting these one of a kind creations for service men and women to send home to their loved ones. Imagine all the smiles and what a keep sake treasure - a beautiful hand made card by you sent home from someone serving in the military this holiday season. A great cause, and a beautiful reason to get involved.
I will keep this short because I know there are a ton of blogs you want to visit today. I stamped the pine branch on rustic cream card stock, distressed the edges and then (Finally!) got to put some of my Washi tape collection to good use! I used three strips across the bottom!
The theme for this hop is wintry cards or holiday / religious cards with a wintry feel. You can go to the list of all the blogs participating here. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like it - I already made a bunch to mail off! Jeanne
