365

That is how many cards I sent to Operation Write Home today !

I originally had 341 after sorting, stamping, tucking and counting the large amount of cards I've made the past couple of months. I whipped out a few more, tucked them in and finally got the box sent out today. I enjoyed making all of those cards the past couple of months.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yum, home made apple pie ! 

With a "turkey" cut in the top crust 

in honor of the holiday ;)  

Nothing fancy, I used an old Betty Crocker recipe. 

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving day !

Assorted Thank You Cards

I made majority of the cards I am sending to Operation Write Home blank cards so they can be used for almost anything. However, some were made with sentiments on them. These are a few of the Thank You cards I made to send.

All stamp images are from Stampin' Up!, most of which are no longer available.

Totally inspired by a pumpkin decorating project I saw in a magazine

I added a black hand drawn line around the edge of the white card stock after I took the photo.

It looks much beeter (of course I didn't get a photograph)

oops - forgot to have "Thank You" stamped on the tag before I took the photo

Thanks for looking =) 

I Miss You - assorted cards

A few "missing you" cards created with leftover scraps.

It's been good to finally put some of these scraps to use -

and for a good cause. 

All of these cards are going to Operation Write Home.

Thanks for looking =)

Thinking Of You - assorted cards pt 2

Still using up bits and pieces that have been saved.....................

All cards are being ent to Operation Write Home.

Button Bear was my very first stamp set purchase from Stampin' Up! -

in the year 2000. I've had this image that long; it was given to me unfinished.

It was an uncolored bear with flower basket that had flocking on the paws, the row of uncolored bumblebees  along the top with Dazzling Diamonds wings, the checkerboard at the bottom.

I colored the images and added "Thinking of You", trimmed off the jagged edges that had been cut with edging scissors then mounted it to the checkered card stock. 

Thanks for looking =)

Altered Notecards

These were a set of premade note cards I bought at a local discount store some time ago. 

The card stock is textured.

They open off to the side, under the embossed flap.

They were plain, no designs other than the embossing so I added

 stamped and colored images to the fronts. 

All cards are being sent to Operation Write Home.
