It's time for the biggest blog hop on the internet! Operation Write Home holds this blog hop every year and it is always full of great inspiration. OWH is a wonderful organization that sends cards to our soldiers for them to use in corresponding with their loved ones.

The challenge for the hop is to make a card using one of OWH's sketches. I used sketch #81 flipped upside down. Here's my card...

I used an image from Hambo Stamps Hop Art Designs called Trena with Heart . Proceeds from sales of the images in this collection  benefit Operation Write Home by helping with postage and supplies. The paper piercing design is from Fred She Said. My card also fits this week's Hambo Hoedown challenge to use paper piercing.

Have fun visiting the blogs this weekend. I'm sure you'll be amazed. Enjoy the holiday and remember to thank our Veterans and their families for their service past and present.

OWH "Make 'em Laugh" Blog Hop

Hambo Stamps is proud to support our nation’s deployed heroes through Operation Write Home^® This organization has sent over 1.5 million cards overseas so our service members can keep in touch with their loved ones. Hambo's "Talk to the Ham" blog is participating in the "Make 'Em Laugh" blog hop this weekend! Hambo's owner, Monica, and some of the Bacon Bits have made some funny cards for the Blog Hop. Here's mine...

I used OWH Sketch #114 and Hambo Stamps'  4581 - Ham on the Run and part of the sentiment 4106 - Crack a Smile. I love this image. His sweet smile and his cute "crack" seemed to go perfectly with the first part of  this sentiment.

Stop by Hambo's Blog "Talk to the Ham" to see some more funny projects and take some time to check out OWH’s blogs and all the others participating, starting at the top of the hop, http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org.

Hambo Stamps OWH Challenge

I've been away a few days. This was suppose to post while I was gone, but it didn't. Not sure if it was Blogger's fault or mine, but here it is even though it's a few days late.

 

This week Hambo Stamps teamed up with OPERATION WRITE HOME  to celebrate their birthday and send the cards made to the TROOPS that protect and serve our country! I used Hedgehog digi by Hambo Stamps for my Miss You card. 

 

 

 

 

If you would like to participate in the challenge, there are a few special rules this week, so check the Hoedown blog for more details.

Maryland Wedding

This card is for the Featured Stamper's Challenge on SCS. This week's featured stamper is Cindy aka CJoy. She has many wonderful cards in her gallery. It was hard to pick which card I wanted to CASE. I need a wedding card for a friend's son who is getting married in August so I decided to CASE Cindy's Orchid Opulence Wedding card .

I changed the size of the card from square to A2. The theme for the wedding is Maryland so I changed the colors to black, red and yellow. I used a different Cuttlebug EB folder for the center panel. For the flower I used a Black-eyed Susan digi image from OWH in place of the Prima flower on Cindy's card. I love how it turned out. I hope Leo & Lauren will like it too.
