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!
