A Promise to have

There are two reasons why I'm doing this promise.  One:  I had a comment that it is great to have tons of writing room inside of a card.  Two: My PC is a veteran and writing home is very important to loved ones.

One of our most favorite organizations is Operation Write Home.  Please go to the OWH blinkie on the left side of my blog to learn more about this wonderful organization that supports our soldiers so they can write home to all of their family and friends.  You can help too in many ways:  Monetary Contributions, Envelopes, Letters to a Hero/Soldier and of course card making.

I'm almost ready to share my promise but not quite yet.  Let's start off with this:

  What can you create with all of your odd pieces of cardstock?

How about some of your crafting tools that you haven't used in a long, long time?

I've started my Promise and projects with these things items and I will be creating more and more.  How about you joining with me and pulling out your lovingly old crafting tools that you have might been ignoring for a bit too long?

Wipe off the dust, if necessary and try some old and fun techniques that you used to do!

This is what I'm going to do!  

I'm making cards and decorating the envelopes to send to Operation Write Home that will fit into 

legal size envelopes, 4-1/8" x 9-1/2" (#10).  

My PROMISE is to make sure that there is a lot of writing room for our heroes that have a lot to say in one letter.  This particular card is a three-fold card and if a hero wants to write even more, there is actually one more panel to write on.

This creation may look busy but it really isn't when you look at it in person. 

Stamp sets: 

Gina K. Designs, The Journey

Dream Impressions, Thoughts of you

White Glossy cardstock

Red, White and Blue cardstock

Red and Blue ink

Spellbinders tags

Ribbon (Thank You Jan)

Heart rhinestones

Ballpoint blue ink pen

This is the first group of card creations that I was able to use with strange sizes of cardstock that I've had for a long time stashed away.

I am planning to take out my tools and get reacquainted with them along with my stashed of leftover cardstocks.

I invite you to think about my promise and perhaps you might join with me doing this project.  If you do join  me make sure you include the envelopes when you mail it to OWH!

 

I will call this Promise and Project 

"Lots of Writing" 

for our Soldiers!

In closing, write me and/or leave a comment to tell me that you are going to join in my effort and please spread the word because it really is for our Heroes who love to write home!

THANK YOU!
