Happy Saturday All!Hope you are enjoying another great weekend! For those of you in the USA, happy Memorial Day weekend to you.
In honor of Memorial Day and the men and women who serve in our military, CARDS FOR HEROES is conducting a blog hop! The goal is to raise awareness of the need for cards and monetary donations used to send to the troops overseas. It's a great cause that's also very rewarding.
CFH collects cards, fronts, and supplies as well as financial gifts that will be used to create cards that are then sent to the military overseas for use in sending home greetings to their loved ones. In addition, you can also send the troops signed cards expressing your gratitude to them for their sacrifice.
I have a box ready to go filled with old card fronts and full cards, what better way of sharing and saying thank you than donating them to this group to spread some cheer. I hope this will encourage others to do the same! For more details about the wonderful things this group does for our military men and women and how you can help, please visit them at www.cardsforheroes.org.
OK, this is a blog hop so if you are just finding out about this now, please take a minute to go back to the "top of hop" by clinking HERE. From there you will be able to start the hop which will take you to fabulous blogs with Patriotic and/or red, white, and blue themed creations. There are many prizes up for grabs too, so take a few minutes and HOP till you DROP!
I joined in the hop with this card....a red, white, and blue themed creation. I wanted to do something patriotic however I don't have any stamps, so I went for colors instead and ekpt it simple so it can be used for any occasion.
I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers paired with my red, white, and blue color combo. I embossed some paper and gel dotted others to create some texture and interest. The image is a Magnolia from a swap, colored with Copics and framed with oval Nesties. The final touches are ribbons to tie the card closed and paper flowers with rose centers.I hope you'll continue your way along the hop and view all the other supporters of this cause for our troops. Before you go, if you leave a comment on this post, I will be drawing a random winner on Tuesday morning, May 26th at 9am, and that person will receive a mystery prize from Whimsy Stamps! ***Mystery prize is now CLOSED***
OK, the next hop on this Blog Hop Tour is....Kelly of the Weekend Stamper. Kelly is a military wife and mother of two. Click HERE to continue this blog hop tour and see Kelly's Patriotic creation!

Adorable card!! I love these Magnolia images!!
Just adorable!
So cute.. thanks for your support to CFH
Your blog and card are beautiful. I am so grateful for this hop and all the beautiful inspiration I've got to see!
Your card is wonderful. The little girl seems to either be yawning - I can see a daddy sending this to his little girl and saying something like 'sweet dreams'.
The other thing I thought of is that it looks like she is giggling over something she has found funny - so I could see a mommy or daddy telling a funny story in a card - to help break the distance between them. TFS
