You've finished the OWH blog hop!!!
link up! for now, go back and visit Operation Write Home as your last blog stop!
Welcome to my blog! Read to the bottom for a sketch and a chance to win a package of Thickers!
I can tell you that I participated in Cards for Heroes last year and won a totally amazing photography workshop with Karen Russell. I'm in that now - and wow! - so much to learn!
But it really wasn't about the prize for me. I'm not a card-maker by nature. However, a project like OWH just inspired me to create for someone else. I'm looking to top my number from last year - 22 - and to get them all sent out in a timely matter this time!
Blessings to you, fellow card makers and supportive scrapbookers. I'm glad to see you hopping, hope to see you creating for OWH, too!
I found these awesome tips on the OWH website homepage:
*No glitter.
Sparkly messes can make heroes visible at night - so please don't use glitter that flakes off the cards.*Themes.
General are best for flexibility! Thinking of you, birthday, love, miss you, holidays are also loved.*Size.
The best size that allows the most cards into a box is 4.25" x 5.5", fitting into standard A2 envelopes.*Handmade.
Handmade cards are loved by our heroes over storebought, so we only send crafted cards.- *AnyHero cards.
Write a short note in one of the cards you send in and encourage a hero far from home!
I'd also like to offer an extra special thank you to all of our American families that have sacrificed for our freedom. I was in Army 'brat' myself, I lived the life for 12 years and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Blessings to my own Dad and thoughts to all of his fellow soldiers lost in fighting. 
Leave me a comment, just to let me know you were here and so I can go out and visit you. It's all about community support, after all.
Yours in Faith,
Here is a quick card sketch to get you rolling. To win a brand new package of Thickers, 1. Follow me!

Fun sketch Linds! Love the card too!
Thanks so much for being a part of OWH, such a good cause, really nice I miss u card, love the embossing and the shiny detail in there!
Thanks Lindsey for joining in the OWH bloghop. I decided to start out near the end of the hop. I like your sketch. It seems like a good way to use some of the strips of paper I have in my stash. I also found OWH (when they were still Cards for Heroes) just about a year ago and love to make cards for them. I am learning a lot about papercrafting along the way.

That's great that though you aren't a card maker you still make cards for OWH. I'm also a not so timely sender, but I guess sending some is better than never at all.

You mean I reached the end? Wow! However, now I have to go back to the beginning since I started at mine. But I will wait till tomorrow. I still have two days, right?

Very sweet card. I was able to visit the Vietnam Memorial when I was in high school. It was very moving to me to watch men and women walk up and touch the name of a loved one. Thank you for the reminder.
