Today I'm participating in Operation Write Home's Be My Valentine Blog Hop in honor of Veteran’s Day weekend! If you're not familiar with OWH, check out their website: http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/ They collect handmade cards and send them to deployed servicemen and women to use to write home! It's a wonderful service! If you're a card maker, please consider making a few cards to send to OWH! If you are not crafty, you can still make a monetary donation to cover shipping and administrative costs.
Because of processing and shipping time, OWH card makers are already working on cards for 2012. The deadline for Christmas cards was at the end of October—we have to make sure the troops get the cards in a timely manner to send them back home. Be My Valentine is the theme for this blog and it looks to be the sweetest one ever. Thanks to Archway Cookies, who is going to match cookies for cards—sending cookies to the troops with the next batch of OWH cards. The deadline to send Valentines Day cards to OWH shippers is January 7th, but to have your cards included in the 4000 card goal with Archway, cards need to be received by December 1st.
Here is one of the two cards I made for this blog hop. You can find the other at Scrapping the Magic, where I am a member of the design team. If you haven’t hopped over there yet, be sure to stop by—April is giving away some blog candy.
I made this card using stamps from The {Stamps} of Life.
Thank you for hopping by! Your next hop will be Lisa at Land of EnCRAFTment—she is a crafting queen!
She'll have a link to the next blog...........so you can keep hopping!

Thanks for your support of OWH. The Stamps of Life is a favorite of mine too.
Such a wonderful card, thanks for sharing and being part of the HOP!
I wish I could have played too but Fibro makes it too hard for me to spend too much time on the computer, and sadly I have to miss out! Bummer!
I do, however, love OWH and also love creating cards when I can to help out!! Best Wishes!!
Hugs,
LISA
