OWH Blog Hop Winners

I finally got to use the Random Number Generator that is so popular in the blogging world. I never thought I'd get enough comments to use it. How exciting!! The numbers that came up were 22 and 41.

Hope they put their scissors to good use making cards for Operation Write Home. Now I need to get busy with mine. I only have two of my two hundred cards made. I need to have a few friends over again to help.

This will be the second time I've made cards for OWH. I buy two packages of 8.5" by 11" cardstock and mass produce 200 cards.
Keeping with the bloghop red, white & blue theme, this is my card design. I used a cookie cutter for my star, stamping with stencil paint. Get out your cookie cutters, there are endless possibilities, hearts, butterflies, flowers, etc. I then misted the paint with water from a squirt bottle.

Then I cut strips from 12" by 12" sheets of scrap book paper, folded & glued the strips on to the bottom of my cards. Again, per the bloghop theme, two simple yet important tips.
Wash your hands prior to starting your cards.

I know from experience, dirty hands will leave marks on paper.

Keep your beverage away from your crafting area.

I’ve never had a spill but I know people that have ruined their project this way, and worse yet, someone else’s project who was crafting near by.

If you've made it this far, leave a comment PROMISING to give a monetary or card donation to Operation Write Home . I will randomly choose two comments for a set of three decorative scissors on Memorial Day. Mailing to US addresses only. Gifts to Operation Write Home are tax deductible.

Crafting & wine is a good combination.

Crafting with friends is an even better combination.

Crafting for a purpose is a GREAT combination.
200 cards ready to decorate for Valentine's Day.

According to the Operation Write Home blog, our cards have been packed up and sent out to our servicemen & servicewomen.

Thanks for all your help Nicole, Janice & Terri. Especially Nicole, she did the bulk of the work during her stay in NNY over Christmas. We are going to make another batch, Birthday cards. According to the request to my email, when I notified Operation Write Home that I had sent our cards to them, Birthday cards are what they are currently in need of.
