This was my first year participating in this awesome organization that provides handmade cards to our service members overseas to help them keep in touch with their families. I was laid up with a foot injury over the summer so with all the extra time on my hands it was the perfect time to jump in and give it a shot. I had a blast! It was a chance for me to try out a lot of great techniques that I've seen online too. I was able to make 50 cards to donate. Some of them I duplicated but most were one of a kind cards. You'll see that I like my cards to be bright, colorful and cheerful. I don't use a lot of neutrals or dark colors but I do tend to use white a lot. I just love the clean, crisp look of white cardstock. Another thing I don't use much of is patterned paper. Most of the patterns you see on my cards are either stamped, watercolors or embossed. Here are my favorites for the year.
To all our service members I salute you! Thanks for all of your sacrifices and dedication.
