Thinking of You

Here’s the first card of the New Year for Operation Write Home! For this card, I did something a little different than normal – the fold is on the top edge and the inside has a whole piece of paper that opens up so that someone can write a nice long note to someone back home!

About this card: The image is from Designed2Delight and the sentiment is from Stampin’ Up. The background is dry embossed with a folder from the Paper Studio and the sentiment is accented with a Spellbinder’s die cut. The die cut and embossing folder were Christmas presents I got. :)

Challenges I am linking this to:

Operation Write Home – Did you get something crafty for Christmas?
Sunday’s With Chrissy – Beat the Mid-Winter Blues
Sentimental Sundays – Anything Goes
ABC Challenges – Green
Do You Stack Up – Rainbow of Colors

Great card. I have that SU set also and I just love that sentiment. I use it quite often. I think it is perfect for the heroes to send home. Thanks for sharing.
