Hi everyone and YAY! I am so excited to be joining in the fun and supporting the Mama Elephant and Operation Write Home blog hop.
Operation Write Home is a nonprofit that sends beautiful handmade cards to our service members so that they can write home to their families. How incredible is that?! There’s no Hallmark store in the desert, so this is a pretty important gift we can give them as crafters!
For the hop, you should have arrived here from my friend, Ashley Marcu's blog. For the hop, we're playing with the new In My Heart stamp set.
Just adorable, right?
Let's get to the cards...
Next, I went little more simple and create another scene, this time using a sentiment to ground the little kid.
The “In My Heart” set was inspired by the mission of OWH; many of those serving overseas have little kiddos at home that they write to. So the darling ladies at Mama Elephant designed cute little kids and sentiments to express just how much those little folks are missed! The drawings are done in such a way that they can be adapted to different ethnicities too, making this a really flexible set. Because Mama Elephant is so great, they're donating 20% of the proceeds of the stamp sets sold on their retail site from now until July 31st - we really want to help them fundraise for all their efforts!
Be sure you visit the OWH website and read all the guidelines carefully….you’ll learn about why glitter is dangerous to send, so leave the stickles behind when making cards for heroes! Lots more information is available on their Welcome page - tons of questions are answered there! And they have a fun YouTube show each weekday with project info, tutorials, and more - check it out HERE.
Now you're off to Operation Write Home but here's the entire blog hop list!

Awwwww.....I am loving all of these adorable cards! Love that you showed us two gorgeous works of Art!! TFS!
Thank you for sharing not just one, but TWO sweet cards! I really like your use of the shooting star to "send" the message on the first card, and the sweet butterflies add just the right touch to the second.
Absolutely adorable!! Love the city scape background and fun sentiment in the sky! :) TFS!

I love all the scenes you and others on the blog hop have created, and I've found some new dies. My PayPal account thanks you! :-) The way you used the sentiment to ground the little girl in the second card is clever. Thanks for the inspiration!

Very nice scene cards, i love how both turn out!
Lovely cards. The washi tape on the side of the second adds just enough draw for the eye and letting the little girl be the focus. Your first card is so professional looking. Just outstanding.
Beyond awesome! Love every little detail in both of these...totally smitten!
Oh my goodness, love these cards. The scenes you created are fantastic and work well with the simplistic design of the little girl image. Thanks for sharing!
Love the simplicity of your card. Really allows the focus on that little girl.
