Operation Write Home

Today, while browsing Facebook as the rest of the house slept I ran across a post for Operation Write Home.  It is a site where crafty people make handmade cards for heroes to write home on and AnyHero letters of gratitude.  There is also a section for donations if you are not feeling particularly crafty but still want to contribute. 
So, of course, the first thing I think of is making cards with Scarlet.  Myles will help with any pieces that require drool attachment.  ;)  I start to research OWH and what I need to do to make cards.
Now, I have never really made a homemade card before.  I will buy some blank cards and put a few stickers on them but that is pretty much it.  I am not really a card or scrap-booking type of person but none the less I forge on.  Thanks to Pinterest I made a list of what I will need:
  • Blank Cards
  • Markers
  • Stamps
  • Stickers
  • Scrapbooking paper
  •  Glue
  • Odds and Ends
Several hours later a few cards are presentable and sent to be mailed off.  I can't get the camera to work today so you will have to imagine how amazing they look.

As always, thanks for Walking the Scarlet Myle with me.
