Hello! Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home World Card Making Day Blog Hop! Today we’re celebrating the fun and joy of making cards by sharing cards made for the purpose of sending to our military members stationed overseas, so that they may write to their family and friends back at home. Be sure to check this page of the Operation Write Home website to find out more about exactly what types/themes of cards are needed.
For today’s blog hop, we’ve been asked to create cards with a love theme. That’s a theme that can be used in so many ways – as a card from a husband to his wife back home, or from a woman to her parents, or from a mom or dad to their child(ren). Really, pretty much any family situation is perfect for a love-themed card!
I’ve opted to create a card that can be sent home to a child. I think that at some point, every child wishes she or he could be a super hero. It seems only natural that a super hero would give and receive super hugs! I’ve also tied this card into today’s Splitcoaststampers.com Hope You Can Cling To challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy the hop and come back to visit my blog again, and that you’ll join me in creating cards for both of these wonderful causes! Click on the OWH badge at the top of this post to find out where you should hop next.
