Operation Write Home Needs You!

Are you a card maker? Are you a patriot? Are you willing to do something to help our courageous, hard-working troops overseas keep in touch with home? Well, Operation Write Home needs you!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Operation Write Home, they are a non-profit group that collects handmade cards (over a million, so far!!) to send to our soldiers deployed overseas.  Some of them are Any Hero cards that we write in to say "thanks for serving!", but most of the cards are left blank so the soldiers can send them back to their families and friends stateside.  It's a fantastic organization!!  But, in order to send the thousands of cards that will go out during the holidays, they could really use some extra funds for shipping. Shipping costs for the next few holiday months are estimated at $13,000!!

How can you help??

Indulge your creative juices, and go buy some digital stamps!! Katlyn, of KnK Designs has teamed up with Deedee Anderson to offer 7 digital sets that are perfect for your OWH cards - or any cards, for that matter! The OWH Fundraiser is from October 17th (TODAY), to November 1st - and ALL of the proceeds for these sets (minus the paypal fees, of course!) will be donated to OWH. Every bit of it! You can buy the sets separately or in a bundle - Go check out KnK Designs for all the details!
Combine your patriotism with your card making, and go buy some stamps to help our troops!

Here is the card I made with Bunny Juniper. Isn't she adorable? I printed her out on patterned paper and cut her out. I printed her again on white cardstock then popped her up with Stampin' Up dimensionals for a 3-D look. She's was a cutie to work with! Thanks, Katlyn and Deedee for your support of OWH!
