OWH bloghop- Holiday cards

Welcome to the Operation Write Home Holiday Bloghop!


This is my Christmas Card. Santa driving his convertible. The paper is from Michael's. It is the recollections line. The Christmas paper pack is called bright and jolly.

I support our heroes because I love to make cards and it makes me feel good that my cards help our heroes keep in touch with their families at home.

I am Erica and this is Creative but Messy. I have been making cards for OWH for a few years and I love doing it. We made missing you cards because there are many heroes that are missing loved one right now. Here is my card.

Remember NO GLITTER!!!

Our assignment was to make a spring card. This is my card.

It is stamped with my favorite stamp set- friendship blessing by Close To My Heart. The pink paper with embossed dots is Bazzill paper. The green paper is DCWV and the Hello stamp is also from Close to my Heart. The set is called For Every Occasion.

Your next stop is Yvette. She makes great cards with the help of her Cricut.

Welcome to the Operation Write Home Bloghop!

I know today is November 13th but we are celebrating Valentine's Day. We have to send cards far in advance so they can get back to families before the holidays. The deadline for Valentine's cards is January 7th 2011! Please don't wait until the last minute to send your cards.

Here is my Valentine's card

The heart is heat embossed with red embossing powder.
* the stamp "all my love" is by Heidi Swapp*

Please remember the rules of OWH.

 1.NO GLITTER! We can never use glitter!

2.If you use a dark card stock(as I did today) please make sure you line the inside of the card in lighter paper so it is easy to read what is written.

3.Please stamp or mark the back of your cards with "Operation Write Home"

If you do not know what Operation Write Home is please check out the web site at http://www.operationwritehome.org/

OWH is an organization that makes cards and sends them to our troops serving overseas so they can keep in touch with family and friends. Crafters from all over make cards that range from miss you, love you, thinking of you to birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas. We do almost anything. We also send them hero mail to let them know how much we appreciate their service. I am a crafter and I love being able to do this little thing for our troops.

One of the hardest things for me to remember when making cards is NO GLITTER!!! I am a girly girl and I like to put sparkles on everything. I always have to remind myself to STAY AWAY FROM THE GLITTER! It puts our troops in danger and is not allowed.

I do not have any family serving overseas but I have a friend JoNell and her husband Al has been serving overseas for a long time. He is scheduled to be home in early July and I know JoNell is counting the days.

This is from my friend JoNell

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that is involved with Operation Write Home. The time and effort that you put into making cards for service members overseas is greatly appreciated. My husband is currently deployed and I know that everyone at his base is thankful for those of you that take the time to send cards over there to them so they can write home to their loved ones. Thank-You from the bottom of my heart for your generosity.

Last but not least is my card. I decided to make a simple miss you card. I hope you are having fun.

Please come back and visit me again.

Happy Memorial Day!
