I have so many supplies that I have been feeling like I need to use them more and find a way to reach out to others who can use a pick me up. I discovered Operation Write Home through Splitcoast stampers. It felt right to join them in sharing some of my creations, as humble as they are compared to many, so that service men and women can write home and stay connected with friends and loved ones. I am a Navy brat. I was born at Otis Air Force Base while my dad was attending OCS. Many of my relatives have served their countries, some giving all, in the name of freedom. My forefathers even fought against Britain in the Revolutionary War. For these reasons and many more, this just feels right.
I have been reading the blog
and website for Operation Write Home the past few nights when I couldn't sleep. I even signed up via Facebook last night. This morning a midweek challenge was issued for Clean and Simple cards. I just purchased a stamp that says "You hold the key to my heart" from our new Hobby Lobby store and knew just what I wanted to do with it.
I hope that it will bring joy to a loved one who is missing their special someone.
Note: my camera is deceased and I need to purchase a new one. I apologize for the poor quality of the photo. It is from my phone.
Very nice Clean & Simple card. I like the texture lines that you added to your design. I'm glad you found Operation Write Home and hope to see more of your card creations.
ReplyDeletewelcome to OWH and I'm sure our military welcomes your cards with open arms too! That's a great sentiment for your pretty CAS card and I really like the way you stamped it over the heart! NJ!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Welcome to OWH... we're so glad to have you!
ReplyDeleteYes, welcome to OWH! Thanks to your family members for their service.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of the card. The overlapping of the sentiment with the heart make a really nice focal point.
