I am excited to be a part of the
Operation Write Home Be My Valentine Bloghop. So, you may be asking yourself, "why are those crazy card ladies making Valentine cards in November?" Well, the Christmas deadline has passed so we are working on our next deadline, Valentine's Day, January 7th.
But, we have a special incentive to get them in earlier. Archway cookies is matching the Valentine cards received by our shippers by December 1 with cookies for our troops.
Click here for the details. So cool!
Back to the hop. I made a little card to start off my weekend of Valentine's Day card making.
I went a little crazy with the patterned paper but I like how it turned out. I love the blue and black check paper from Teresa Collins. I can pretty much add it to every card I make a be totally happy and justified about it. Hopefully a soldier will love to send it to his wife and she will love to get something homemade from her hubby who is serving far away on Valentine's Day.
Here is another view.
So, do you want some sweets? I'm offering some blog candy today. All you need to do is comment below about anything, the troops, Valentine's Day, whatever. I'll draw a random winner from all those who comment by Monday at 8 p.m (California time) November 22. If you don't have a blog, leave a way for me to track you down.
Thanks for visiting. Please continue along the bloghop by visiting the very talented cardmaker, Patti at
What are you Iinking? And, if you are in the creative mood and love our troops, please make some Valentine's Day cards for
OWH.
Also, since it is Veteran's weekend, I wrote a blog post about sending care packages to our troops.
Check it out.

I love this card...especially the herringbone border! Love how it all came together! My daughter loved all of the cards she got while she was in Iraq, so now I like to pay it forward by making cards for other people's sons or daughters or husbands or wives, etc.! Glad that you shared your fabulous creation with us at OWH!
