winner

The winner of the 3 month subscription to Scrapbook News and Review by random number generator is comment #60, Jana. Thank you all for the very kind comments you left here for me. I really appreciate that you took the time to leave them in such a huge blog hop. I'll send you an email Jana about how to access your gift subscription.

Sorry for having to put up the number verification thing. I'm not a fan of those, but after having an autobot post over 100 times the same comment, I had to. It took forever to delete those comments. Why do people bother doing that? I'll take it off in a week or so after the roar of the blog hop is over. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend.

Memorial Day

I made this to include in my next batch of cards heading out to Cards for Heroes. I've no idea who the end recipient will be, but I hope it brings a smile to someone's face. I love the idea of sharing my cards with someone who can really use them. They go overseas to soldiers who then send them home to loved ones. I never stamp the inside, since I imagine they have notes to write. I've not served in the military, but I greatly admire those who do. We have family members and friends who are serving overseas in various capacities. This is my small way of showing support for our troops.

I'm taking part in the Cards for Heroes Memorial Day Blog Hop. If you didn't get a chance to start at the beginning, go here to start at the top of the hop. There are some fantastic prizes being given away for those who follow the hop and leave comments as they roll through. If you a comment here, I'll enter you in my drawing for a 3 month subscription to Scrapbook News and Review. I hope you'll consider sending CFH some cards or support with shipping costs. Next stop on the bloghop has the most gorgeous papers ever. Show Rusty Pickle some love. I'm guessing they may even be giving away something fabulous.

Supplies used: Cuttlebug embossing folder, DCWV cardstock, CTMH rhinestones, sandpaper, Versafine ink, SU sentiment, Sizzlets die cut, sandpaper, red and white ribbon.

cards for heroes

Have you heard about Cards for Heroes, yet? It's a wonderful group of cardmakers who got together to make cards for our troops to send home to their loved ones. I just sent my third package of cards out today with over 30 Halloween cards. My son loves Halloween so much that I know if his dad was away he'd love to get a card from him. I'm so glad that a few kids will get some joy when they open these cards from their mom or dad. Mostly I used papers and cardstock stickers that FiskarsCrafts donated from their Heidi Grace and Little Davis lines. They were so much fun to put together. I almost never make cards without stamping, but with all of these pretty papers and embellishments I didn't need any stamping.
