This is my sixth year of participating in the OWH Memorial Day Bloghop. I am so thankful for staying and not giving up this great cause that Sandy Allnock has been leading with her amazing dedication and efforts. I've been growing my cardmaking skills and creativity. The most of all, my gratitude towards the service members and their families
This is my card. I made a few more and will make more.
Any Hero cards that I have made with my coworkers. We meet every Thursday lunchtime.
I am offering a bloghop candy for your comments on what does make you thankful.
I will pick the winner and announce it next Friday, May 30th.
I hope you will enjoy the bloghop and get inspired to create many more wonderful cards for our heroes and their families.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love all your cards. The first one is my favorite. Bold yet simple.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I am so going to CASE your top thank you card. It's such a simple, but elegant design. Love it! And what am I thankful for this weekend? A picture of a poppy made me think of my Dad. He was in the Army during WWII and then when he got out, worked for the government his whole career. Giving back, always giving back. I miss him, but both of my parents instilled in me a deep desire to pay it forward in whatever way I could. Now that I'm retired, I devote a lot of time to making cards for OWH to help our servicemen and women keep in touch with home. I am so grateful I found Sandy and her mission. In my small way, I can keep giving back. Yup, feeling thankful.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. I'm thankful for so much I cannot even list it all. Mostly lovely family and close friends. My crafty friends too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win also.
I love the last cards - the watercolory ones. Do you have a tutorial on that technique? All in all, great cards! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the design you made with the stamps! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove those cards. I've been seeing some great projects from that work of art set, can't wait to see the new catalog and maybe order it for me
ReplyDeletethanks for your support of Operation Write Home
Your cards are very inspirational. I love that you have a group that gets together during lunch and makes cards for our heroes. I would love to join something like that. It makes going back to work tolerable... :) I am very thankful for cardmakers, like you, that keep me inspired...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards! Thanks for your sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are just gorgeous! The first card is just beautiful with the stamps and placement of the images. The flag card is just perfect for the sentiment - I may CASE it with some papers I have. I'm so glad that SU! made that watercolor stamp and you are making cards with it. I have a very similar one from Papertrey Ink and I very definitely need some inspiration and the card you made is definitely an incentive to try again. I agree with Cindy that I am grateful for cardmakers, like you, that give me a different perspective and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I LOVE all your cards, but the first one, which is so eye-catching CAS with the bold blue swathe and chevrons is probably my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHave to say I like each one. So glad you are on the blog list. TFS

ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely cards... and what a great idea to make cards with colleagues during lunch.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the many freedoms we enjoy because of the service of our troops, including my father-in-law and uncles.
Absolutely stunning. I adore the first card and will be casing it. It is so simple, but elegant! What am I thankful for -- I'm thankful for this great country we live in and the men and women who serve to keep it strong and great. I'm thankful for the service my Dad and other family members gave as well as for my hubby of 45 years and my service -- we entered the Air Force on the "buddy" system and I'm thankful to have him home with me. God Bless all our troops and their families today and always.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are awesome! I love that first one's simplicity and boldness! Great job! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flag rendition on your blog hop card. Thanks for your long-standing support of our service members through OWH.
ReplyDeleteLove your design, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe cards are both great-very different styles-both strong in their own ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me grateful? Got 10 hours? LOL
I am grateful for a good DH who cares for and puts up with me.
I am grateful for a decent home. It isnt huge but fine for us.We have electric, running water and heat when millions around the world do not.
I am grateful to be in a country of opportunity not available everywhere in the world...if you are willing to work hard...you can improve yourself.
I am grateful for the people willing to stand up and fight for this country...to keep it free. We have problems but we have so many things not available elsewhere.
Everyday I am grateful....to see a blue sky and pretty flowers,...for a hot cup of tea coming in from a cold rain...a decent bed after a long day of work.
Like I said...got 10 hours?
Your card sets are just wonderful! I love the CAS design and fresh look! I am thankful for my family, who are always supportive of me no matter what I do...as long as I try to be my best self. I am also thankful for the opportunity to express myself through crafting...which is what helps keep me sane when my toddler and 6 month old are running me ragged...lol!
ReplyDeleteI love the thank you cards. I'm thankful for my family and friends.
ReplyDeleteAll of these cards are great! I can't believe you have found a group at work to create with! I really love that flag card :) I am grateful for all the Heroes who sacrifice so much for our country, and especially today (Monday) for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I know that without them, we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Aimee! You see many different responses from people at work. I am blessed to have those who share their time with me.
DeleteThanks for your thoughts that I totally agree with.
"I am grateful for all the Heroes who sacrifice so much for our country, and especially today (Monday) for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I know that without them, we would not enjoy the freedoms we have today."
How did you do the first card? Love it. This weekend it occurred to me that every man in my family since the early 1900's has been in the military including my husband and his brothers. My paternal grandfather wasn't even a citizen yet but wanted to fight for his new country (WWI). Proud and thankful to each and every of these heroes.
ReplyDeleteBecki, thanks very much for sharing your family's services for the country. Because of their sacrifice, we are here free.
DeleteFor my first card, I just stamped three images including the sentiment from the Work of Art stamp set from the Stampin' Up! and created the American flag. I am happy it turned out great.
Thank you for your generous contributions to OWH. My father and his youngest brother both fought in WWII but I never thought to ask if my grandfather or if he knew if his grandfather served in the military. I have something I need to ask my uncle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana, for sharing your story. I didn't know either until I heard my sister's father-in-law's funeral that he fought in the war. It must be not easy topic to bring it up.
DeleteYour Any Hero cards rock!! Thanks for supporting OWH! BobbisTreasure at aol dot com
