I am Hopping thru the OWH blog hop...OWH = OPERATION WRITE HOME, it is a group of people that make and ship blank cards(on the inside) to our service men and women overseas, so that they may have some beautiful cards to send to loved ones. (as you know there are no hallmark cards in the desert) They also send cards of thanks and encouragement. I happened upon this blog hop quite by mistake, and I am so glad I did.
One of the bloggers (like many is doing a giveaway) but for her's you must use her sketch and make a card any card, I decided to make an Easter Card for my mom, she is the only one I give one to any more.
anyway here is the card I made very late last night.
and I will come back and add the link to start the blog hop on your own for anyone who is interested. here is the link: OWH spring Blog Hop
I think this is something I am going to participate in, starting with a few Mother's day cards...the deadline to have yours to one of the "shipper's" is April 1.

Hey there! Just stoppin by to say thanks so much for hopping with us, and glad to read that you are going to try to make some cards too. The Easter card above, is AWESOME! I am following now, and will be excited to read your posts, your profile is so interesting! Now, back to your blog!
Cute little bunny card...and wonderful layout!
Very cute card Susan. Thanks for following on my blogs. Looking forward to seeing more on your blog and keeping in touch.
Susan, Thank you so much for the very nice comment you left on my blog (#9) Trinity Paper Arts (Louise).
I saw the Easter card that you made for one of the challenges, and it is really terrific! I loved the colors that you used. I am so excited that you might like to join with us - all stampers are great - but this group is an exceptional one and I know you will enjoy it. I think I read you have FM, so I wanted to be sure to tell you that there is no pressure to do anything, but because OWH Stars and Stamps is active, there will always be something going on for you to participate in on those days when you feel like you are able. And if you want to just make cards and send them to your shipper, that is great too. Anyway, if you have any questions, email me or leave a note on my blog. I am happy to help in any way I can. Blessings, Louise
Aw, that bunny is so cute and I love that KI Memories paper.
