I am so thrilled to be a part of this fantabulous Operation Write Home & Perfect Papercrafting Blog Hop. Operation Write Home is such a wonderful organization and I love the idea of sending cards to our military men and women who are far from home to use. With projects created using Perfect Layers for Operation Write Home we hope to wow you with some gorgeous creations today! If you'd like to participate in the hop, you'll want to go to the start of the hop - HERE.
I figured since it was a birthday bash, why not make a Kickin' Birthday card using MFT's adorable Karate Boy. My sentiment was stamped using MFT Black Licorice Ink. The designer papers are from My Mind's Eye (Lost & Found - Sunshine) and those perfectly matted layers were made using my Perfect Layers Tool. I added some small black brads to the corners to keep things simple and within the guidelines that OWH has for sending cards to soldiers.
Now, let's talk prizes!
Hop along with us today and leave some blog love for our Perfect Layers Designers and the Operation Write Home Team to be eligible to win a $50 gift certificate from Perfect Paper Crafting. The winner will be selected randomly from comments left on the DT blogs.
