Finishing Strong!



I love the OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop! It's been a fun tradition. Links to all blogs on the hop can be found HERE.

 Operation Write Home, a charity that's supported deployed heroes with handmade cards since 2007, will be closing later this year. All card donations must be sent to OWH by August 1, 2015. I'm helping to get the word out!

 Here's my card, a clean and simple one. I'll be using it to write a thank you message to a deployed service member. 

 Hero Arts - Thanks Stamp and Cut
Taylored Expressions - Summer Nights
Simon Says Stamp - Large Holiday Shapes (stars)
Stampin' Up - colored card stock
Neenah - white card stock
Thanks for visiting! All blogs on the hop are listed HERE.

    Dixie,

    First of all, thanks for all you've done for OWH over the years.

    Secondly, love all these banners and flags! Realized I'd never joined your blog. So, I made sure I did that to be able to keep up with your crafting adventures. Would love to stay in touch.

    This is so pretty - love the banners!

    I think I fail at Any Hero cards because I can't WRITE cards. I only make them. Sending is something on which I'm working. I have another week to get out my belated May birthday cards. ;/

    Very pretty, I love the R,W & B banners. It's sad to see OWH closing, but for a good reason - soldiers will be returning to their families.
