Hey everyone!
This weekend I stayed busy organizing all of my paper– Though, I did get to sneak off to Joann’s to take advantage of that Extra 25% off coupon I had! :O)
I was also in the SUPER-FUN Disney/Pixar Hop- which I have a winner from….

Thumper melts my heart everytime. Thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats Dana– email me for your Animated Greetings Stamp set!!
I like to get cards sent to our soldiers whenever I can- because my brother did 2 tours in Iraq- and I know how much a little mail can make their day!
I actually found this ‘manly’ BO Bunny card kit at my LSS, for $4- I usually don’t buy card kits, but couldn’t pass it up for some quick cards for some of those serving currently. So, I gave myself a 30 minute time limit- to see how many cards I could knock out with the help of this pre-cut kit.
I added my own stamp sentiments from the Pink by Design Our Troops Stamp Set– but everything else came in the kit! 🙂
YAY! I have several ‘manly’ looking cards to send off to to our Troops! 🙂
Who else out there makes cards for our troops?
I’ve been asked below a few times on where to send your cards:
http://www.anysoldier.com/ is a fantastic place to go and search by branch- then you can search by name- and find out a little bit about the person you are sending the card to, 🙂 Makes it a little more personal! 🙂
Ps. Don’t forget there is still time to enter for the Scrap’n Easel Giveaway!
thats a lot of cards in 30 mins! that will be great for them to receive love it!
Wow, awesome job on all those cards in 30 minutes! I need to get better about making more cards. I love to send cards when my husband is gone he normally gets 2-3 cards a week from me 🙂 this year I plan to hand make all of them for our next deployment that is coming up. I also send cards to those my husband serves with. I know the guys here love when I bring cards/sweets/food to them at work or to their place!
DH is retired after 20 years in the AF. I have a very soft place in my heart for our troops and those who appreciate their service. Thank you so much for doing this! Can I ask where you send these cards?
Those are great- sometimes a card kit is just the thing- is there somewhere in particular you send these cards? I would love to do that!
I can’t believe you cranked all those out in 30 mins. Wow! I love making cards for our soldiers (thru Operation Write Home.)
Congrats to the winner!!! LOVE the cards Sarah!! I RARELY buy those kits as well, but it looks like you may need to go get another 😉 Operation Write Home is a GREAT organization who sends ALOT of cards to the troops. I send cards to them. Thanks for sharing and maybe I need to think a bit more about those kit things. LOL
Hugs,
Tanya
Wonderful gesture on your part to make and send all those beautiful cards to our Troops. Thank you
Great job on the cards! I also make cards for Operation Write Home which sends handmade cards to the troops overseas so that they can stay in touch with their families and friends.
Great cards. . . i have never used a card kit – – looks like I need to give it a try. My daughter and I made cards last fall for the troops. . .
What great cards you made. I am sure they are going to LOVE them!! You have inspired me to make some and send to our troups as well. I think it will be a wonderful thing to do with my son. 🙂
Great job on the cards, I’ve been making cards for Operation write home since my son and daughter in law joined the Marines about 2yrs ago. I send about 50 cards every 3 or 4 months or so, it really does my heart good to help.

Wow!! Great job!! My ex was in the Marines, so let me tell you, those cards really do lift their spirits!!
These are all just amazing cards!!! 🙂 And you have just inspired me to make another bunch to send as well! 🙂 I know these simple cards really do mean so much to our brothers and sisters protecting us….God bless them. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sarah,
I’m the winner of your giveaway. I sent my address thru your contact button because I couldn’t find your email address. I hadn’t heard from you so I wasn’t sure if you received my message or not. Hope your having a great week. Thanks for all the inspiration you share.
