Operation Write Home WCMD Blog Hop

Hi!

Welcome to Operation Write Home's World Card Making Day Blog Hop!

For this hop we were challenged to make thank you cards based on one of the OWH sketches. The sketch I chose to work with is Sketch #165.

I chose to make mine an AnyHero card. After all the troops do so much for us. Whether the rest of the government is working or not.

Stamps: CTMH Pinwheel, Courage
Paper: CTMH White Daisy

Ink: CTMH Ruby, Pacifica
Accessories: DCWV Uptown Adhesive Ribbon, Martha Stewart Embossed ZigZag edge punch

The other reason I chose to make an AnyHero card is because over the past couple of months my husband has had to go to China for business. When we spoke my husband would share with me how much he missed everyday things like going to the movies or good American cooking.

It made me think about how much we take for granted being here in America. And what the troops really do sacrifice for our freedom.

That's why I'm so happy to participate in this blog hop and to be a supporter of Operation Write Home.

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

World Card Making Day Hop

Hi!

Happy World Card Making Day!!!! I hope you are ready for an awesome blog hop. Also please feel free to check out my blog candy giveaway. Hopefully you are feeling inspired to celebrate and make cards and also send them off to Operation Write Home, if you are in the USA, or a similar organization if you are out of the US.

The troops do so much for us the least we can do is to send them some of the cards we create.

Although, we may not be ready to think about Christmas. Right now is the time to think about shipping our homemade Christmas cards to the troops.

The blog hop participants were given 2 challenges:

1. make a wintry card (holiday themed secular/religious, or other OWH-themes with a winter feel)
2. use a sketch

This is the great sketch I found over at the OWH site

Stamps: CTMH Perfect Fit - Holidays Holiday, Bethlehem(retired)

Paper: CTMH Pear & Partridge Paper Packet

Ink: CTMH Chocolate

Accessories: Spellbinders Scalloped Circle
