Operation Write Home blog hop today

Thank you all who enjoyed this hop. We hope to do this again,
Please feel free to still visit. I have pulled the winner of the blog candy.

We hope you can join and hop in our Valentine hop for cards for heroes.

Valentine's you say... yes! Because we have to make card well in advance of a holiday - this month it is a Valentine card. (the deadline is January 7th if you like to make some blank cards to send so the heroes have cards to send back home, all the information is at the OWH home page.)

Here is the card I made last night in prep of this hop. When my Stampin' Up demonstrator showed me her version - I sat down with some scraps and got to work. Her's had a beautiful rhinestone in the middle - but I wanted to add a butterfly and pearls. I also altered mine with a border punch as a strip accent. I also Cuttlebug embossed the base white card stock and inked the edges. If you are wondering what this technique is called, it's called a pinwheel card. In a separate post here are the directions. (this post is rather long)

Thanks for stopping by - now on to Stacie (who is after me) at My Creative Side

I am offering these Adornit Dimensional stickers.
To qualify - please leave a comment here and tell me a little bit what you learned about Operation Write Home. I will draw the winner next Monday and o be sure to come back and see if you have won. I'll leave how the winner can contact me to claim the prize on Monday.
