Operation Write Home Blog Hop

Hi everyone!

If you're on the Operation Write Home  Blog Hop, you should have arrived
here via the lovely & very talented Ruth. 

If not, you might want to start hopping around from here!

Here's my card!

It's made using the Kolar's Care Package. 

The sentiment is one of several that came with this delightful image!

Here's a bit of info about the cause, the images & how you can help!

Operation Write Home is a non-profit organisation which collects & sends 

hand made greeting cards to American soldiers for their use in keeping in 

touch with their families back home!

Visit the website to learn more!

They need to raise funds to help with shipping costs to get those 

cards to where they need to be!

This little blog hop is just one of several fundraisers going on at the moment.

The Digi's being showcased are by Katlyn & Deedee & are available at

K 'n K Designs

There are 7 new digi sets designed exclusively for this cause.

Each "set" comes with an image & some greetings/sentiments. 

They are in both Jpeg & PNG file formats & in a zip file.

There are various bundles available, starting at 

$2 each up to $10 for all of the sets!

Great value I'm sure you'll agree!

ALL proceeds (minus Paypal fees are being donated to Operation Write Home)

Now, here's a closer look at Kolar!

How cute is he packing all his well loved bones to send to a very special person!

I coloured the image up with Promarkers & cut him out with a nestie.

I liquid embossed the water with a sakura glaze pen although I'm

not sure it shows up too well in the photo!

As is required by Operation Write Home the card is USA A2 size

( 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" that's approx A6, UK)

They prefer you not to use glitter or bulky embellishments.

The papers I've used are from my scrap stash & 

I have matted thoseon to brown craft paper.

I kept the layout fairly simple & embellished with a strip of

 chocolate brown satin ribbon from my stash & some 

punched & layers butterflies cut from the papers I used.

The inside of the card has a matt of brown craft paper & the green card

I have left the inside of the card blank for a message to be hand written!

I hope you like it & you can pop on over to K 'n K Designs to get your images or 

Operation Write Home to donate or send some cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now your next stop on the hop will be the lovely & very talented Michelle  who I'm sure 

will have something awesome waiting for you!
