This was a fun sketch to try from the Card Patterns site. I used it to make a Mother’s Day card to send to Operation Write Home. The troops need lots of cards to send to their mothers and I am going to make a very small contribution. I like to combine pink and green. The color combination and flower make it seem Springy even though the wetaher is not! Thanks for visiting.

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 such a great stamp. It was originally designed in 2000 and they’ve re-released it as a “Hero Arts Classic.” I used the latest sketch (#209) from Card Positioning System (CPS). This may be the last card in my first shipment to Operation Write Home. I will be sending cards out in the next day or two. Thanks for checking-in.

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.
