My Hero
Hi!
Today's card features a card I created for a couple of challenges.
I was lucky that they are both basically the same color challenge.
Over at SCS they had RED, WHITE, and BLUE color challenge. It's called CC433.
And the other is over at Operation Write Home it's their Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge. We were challenged to make a card using red, white, blue & kraft.
So that made it rather easy to use this one card for both of those challenges.
I think this card could easily go to Any Hero or one that they could send to their family. Do you agree?
The sentiment stamp comes from the Close to My Heart Courage stamp set.
This stamp set is available only from June 1 to July 31, 2013! And Close To My Heart will donate $3 from each B-size My Acrylix® Courage stamp set to the USO, the leading, most recognized military-support and services organization in the United States

Patriotic Thank you
Hi!
Can you believe the Fourth of July is next week?!?
Neither can I.
So in honor of the Fourth of July and our troops I decided to create this card. I will probably send it off as an Any Hero card with my next shipment of cards to OWH.
This card was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this week. Oh BTW I wanted to apologize for the last two posts I wrote using sketches from them. They were cards I created from their sketches but I just realized that the cards and sketches posted on the wrong dates. Which means that my #7 & 8 cards were to be posted in reverse order. That'll teach me to write my posts early. Live and learn.
Today's card does match up with this week's sketch though. It's Sketch #9.

This one was a tough one for me. I'm not very good at being straight on my cards and there are a lot of straight lines required for this sketch.
So please forgive my non-linear lines. I do hope you like it though. ;)

Oh, if you're interested in the sentiment stamp it's from the CTMH Courage stamp set. And when you order this set $3 will be donated to the USO Fund!

OWH Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop
Hi!
Today I'm participating in Operation Write Home's
I just love OWH. My hubby is always commenting on how much I watch their videos. LOL
OWH does a wonderful service for the troops by providing them with homemade cards. And
I'm proud to be a contributor to that cause.
My brother-in-law Sheen, my hubby's middle brother, is in the Air Force Reserves. But just because it's the Reserves doesn't mean they haven't sent him into the war torn regions.
Our family is very proud of him and all the members of our family who've done military service. Like my step-uncle Ben who's retired from the Air Force, my father who served in the Navy, and my father-in-law who served in the Coast Guard. We even have a whole new generation of nieces and nephews who are thinking about doing military service.
And that's one of the reasons why I create and send cards to Operation Write Home.
Plus, although last year had it's ups and downs. One of the biggest ups was that my Mom became a US citizen. After being a resident all my life she finally did it. And I couldn't be prouder of her and that pride extends to those who defend our freedom.
Isn't it gorgeous!
Of course, I had to do my own spin on it. I know it's kinda CAS but I think it will still be appreciated.
Oh and if you check out my post from yesterday I am taking Pre-orders for the Close to My Heart promotion that supports our troops.
If you are just starting to hop you can click here to start at the beginning. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the blog hop and have a great Memorial Day weekend.

For the hop we were asked to use one of OWH's sketches. I picked sketch #78

Let’s Get Patriotic—Stamp Style!
Hi!
I wanted to give y'all a heads up about the next Close to My Heart Constant Campaign. This campaign won't start until June 1st. However, I am taking pre-orders for them. If you prefer to wait until June 1st you can purchase these sets directly from my CTMH shop.
With Flag Day, Independence Day, Canada Day, and more right around the corner, now is the perfect time to celebrate military service and promote patriotism with Close to My Heart's three new patriotic stamp sets—only available for a limited time from June 1 – July 31, 2013!
One B-size stamp set and two D-size stamp sets were created specifically to celebrate independence and freedom. The best part is that $5 from every patriotic D-size stamp set and $3 from every patriotic B-size stamp set sold will benefit a military-support charitable organization.
Donations in the US will be made to the USO, the leading, most recognized military-support and services organization in the country. Donations in Canada will be made to the Canadian Hero Fund, which supports spouses and children of fallen Canadian military troops by helping provide post-secondary education funds.
Show your military support and patriotism by purchasing your very own patriotic stamp set.
We love our troops!
Oh, by the way starting tomorrow I will be participating in the Operation Write Home Memorial Day blog hop.
