- Stamp – Cup and Saucer – The free stamp from the January 2011 issue of Craft Stamper. I love this stamp. It was designed by Kim Costello for the magazine.

This sketch is the current one from Operation Write Home. I like it because it is very simple and leaves a lot to individual interpretation. This Hero Arts stamp set is really perfect for OWH cards. It is a group of sentiments that are appropriate and graphically pleasing to stand on their own. This is the first card for my new batch of cards to send to OWH. I sent my first group last week and they have been received for processing. I’d like to do some Mother’s Day cards for my next shipment, but the deadline is fast approaching so I need to get busy!

This is my first Operation Write Home (OWH) Easter card. I really like this sketch–nice and simple. The deadline for completing Easter cards for shipment is March 18th, so I need to get busy. I just got my official rubber stamp for OWH (to use to stamp the back of each card). I’m set to go.
