Celebrating World Cardmaking Day with OWH!

Welcome to my blog!

So very glad to participate in World Cardmaking Day with OWH (Operation Write Home).  I have been sending cards to the soldiers (via OWH) for the last 4 years, after having learned about OWH in a "write-up" in Cardmaker magazine.  I figure making my cards - sharing my cr8've talent - is THE LEAST I can do for the soldiers who sacrifice far more each & every day.  My father served in WWII with the U.S. Marine Corps, so soldiers (especially Marines) hold a special place in my heart.

I went a "little overboard" & cr8'd a little something for everyone: Christmas, Birthday, Love.  After all, it is World Cardmaking Day!!  Much of the papers I used were scraps, making the most of every piece!  With that being said, here are the cards I cr8'd for this year's Cardmaking Day & OWH Blog Hop:
Frosty Nights' Snow Pals Card (using There She Goes Stamps)
Frosty Nights' Snow Pals Card (using There She Goes Stamps) (image detail)
Love's Journey Card (using sentiment stamp from My Favorite Things Clear Stamps)
Birthday Fishes Card (using stamps from Paper Smooches)
Birthday Fishes Card (using stamps from Paper Smooches) (image/accent detail)
Thanks for stopping by... & remember, if you like what you see: make sure to "FOLLOW" me!

Enjoy the rest of the blog hop (you can follow along using the image below)... & donate your cards to OWH today! (Details on how you can donate can be found on their website:  Operation Write Home.)


Happy Cr8'ing!

  11. Your snowman is so cute! I love the sentiment, the placement of the diagonal paper and the embossing on the first card. Love the colors, sentiment & the ribbons on the 2nd. And your fishies made me smile - great use of the patterned paper to mimic air bubbles! Thank you for sharing your cre8ivity and for all you do for OWH.
