A Good Card Day

Posted on August 25, 2014February 3, 2015 by Mama

I finally sent another shipment of cards to Operation Write Home (OWH) this morning. Some were old, some were new and some were nearing a submission deadline. Between my sister and I, we were able to create 35 custom cards for America’s troops this time around, and I always feel a bit more patriotic on the days I drop them in the mail.

If you’re not familiar with OWH, it’s a not-for-profit organization that gathers and distributes homemade cards to our troops across the globe. The troops can then select cards to send back to their friends and family so that they can keep in touch. Let’s face it, there isn’t a Hallmark store on every corner overseas.

A Super Sunshiny Day

I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to give up summer. Even with all the back-to-school goings on and all the fall decor popping up across Pinterest and beyond, I’m thinking I still have a lot of sunshine soaking and weekend trips to do before I call it quits. So I’m saluting summer during this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge, and the Simple Stories Summer Fresh 6×6 paper pad was all I needed to mix and match my way to a super sunshiny card.

A Way With Pink and Gray

Okay, so I learned from today’s OWH Midweek Throwdown that I need more pink in my life! I really had to dig for some pink paper that wasn’t covered in hearts or brightly covered polka dots. That being said, I have no idea from what collection these papers came, I wish I had stamped my sentiment higher up on the banner and I’ve discovered a need for a dark gray ink. . . let’s see, that about covers it. Other than those few minor details, it’s not a bad way to fulfill today’s challenge.
