Operation Write Home Blog Hop

Several members of my family have served in the Marines and I admire the strength it takes to protect the freedom of others while being away from your loved ones. This is just one very small way to show my appreciation to those who serve our country!
Pictures will be posted next week of the card making event for OWH and all of the cards we make. Here you will find a sampling of 2 cards we are making. Enjoy all of the bogs participating today!!

Operation Write Home and World Card Making Day

October 1 is World Card Making Day. I am gathering my friends to make cards to send to Operation Write Home. Operation Write Home is an organization that sends handcrafted/homemade cards to the men and women serving in our Armed Forces to use to write home to family and friends. I will also be participating in the Operation Write Home Blog Hop, which will not only feature individual bloggers (some may have prizes), but also corporate bloggers with prizes to give away. Check back on October 1 to Blog Hop!!!

The photo and sentiment on the card front are both from Create with TLC http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/. This was a freebie a couple of weeks ago.
I have a friend who I call the 'Purse Girl'. She loves handbags. This is similar to the card (her card had pink instead of blue) I made for her birthday:

Coming Soon: Photos of the cards I made for the August Card Swap.
