Operation Write Home Challenge

I really believe in "Pay it Forward" and I love OWH it really fits me because I love to make cards and I love giving.  I usually make about 4 cards a day and I have a box I put them in.  After they've built up a while I stamp the backs with the OWH stamp put writing paper inside the cards and put the back flap in an envelope I'm done.  I try to mail off 100 cards a month and have been doing this for about a year and a half. 
I made this card for the OWH S & S Sketch Challenge #26.
I used SU cardstock and retired background stamps from SU and 'Home Tweet Home' from Deedee's Digi's.  I love her digital images and she has over 70 in stock now.   I love Rhonda's sketch and whipped out the card quickly.  I used rope to hang my sign and Copic's to color my images.  To check out Deedee's images go to:

My second card I made with free digi's for OWH cards.  The digital image was offered by Ciara and its a sheet full of dog images.  I used some red SU card stock with red ribbon and scraps from my scrap basket.  I thought it would be a cute card for those soldiers who choose to write home as much as possible.  The free digitals on OWH are for use on cards going to the soldiers, you can find them here: http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/

Have a wonderful day and remember to 'Pay it forward' God Bless.

These are beautiful Jeanine. Love the boldness and cheerfulness of these cards. Amazing what you come up with. Just want to let you know that you are a blessing to so many. And I know that all the folks who recieve your cards are thanking God that someone like yourself cares for them and their families while they are away fighting for our freedom. May God continue to bless you as you continue to bless those around you. Hugs.

I love the pretty colors you used with the birdhouses. The layout on your second card is great too! Love them both.
