Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop

http://operationwritehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/MemDay2013BlogBanner.jpg

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there.

Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card.

I used the following supplies:
Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12
K and Company - Ancestry.com paper
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
OWH / Hero Art stamp
Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a great day!

This is a great layout and a pretty paper pattern. The darker layering in the previous post version adds nice separation between the layers making them really stand out. Thanks for joining in the hop and supporting Operation Write Home!

It is terrific that choosing a sketch was a family affair. I like the papers you chose although I might have used a bit of layering to define the spaces a bit more. I haven't tried this one myself yet, but now will have to give it a go! Thank you for supporting OWH and have a great weekend!

Welcome to the 3 Girl JAM - Pinque Peacock Bloghop.  If you have hopped over from Scrappin' Madge , you're in the right place.  If you just stopped by to visit my blog today, be sure to start at the beginning with 3 Girl JAM .  There are some great prizes being offered plus you will be able to link up a project as well.  Why?  Because this blog hop also kicks off the current challenge on the 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog.   I am so excited to be sharing my project today because I put a lot of "me" into it.  This is a special project that I made for me and for my family for years to come.  I plan to just give you a list of products I used.  The video will walk you through the book to show you what it's all about.  I've already started writing in my book.  I hope it inspires you to start a Christmas Journal of your own.  Let's get started.
