Operation Write Home Fundraiser :)

Hi there, blogging friends!  Today is a special post as I'm able to share with you a post for something  near and dear to my heart - our military :)  Two wonderful designers, Katlyn Traxler and Deedee Anderson worked together to create special images for this fundraiser and they will just melt your heart! They are wonderful, spirited and perfect for so many occasions.  You can see them here: K & K Designs Blog and I hope you're able to stop by and support this wonderful cause :) 

For my card today, I have used the digi Kolar's Friends - a truly humble gift He gives to us!  Friends make the world go 'round, right? :)  And I'm so glad you are all one of mine!  {{{ Hugs! }}} I wanted to showcase this image not only due to the sheer sweetness of it (which, imo, totally embraces Katlyn's personality perfectly!) but because love and support and having that friend beside you during times of military service make the difference!  I chose not to color the image but paper piece it instead.  I will have to redo this image, first to remove the bling - cards with glitter and bling and anything shiny could pose a possible danger.  Like many families, I think we all know someone in the military or our lives have been touched by it.   But did you know that there is a huge cost behind the operations of Operation Write Home?  Here is their mission statement from their blog ... 

Our Mission:  Supporting our nation's armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.

 Operation Write Home is a not-for-profit organization that collects and sends handmade greeting cards to American soldiers for their use in keeping touch with their families back home. They need to raise $13,000 to cover holiday shipping costs. 

K 'n K Designs will be selling 7 new digi sets designed exclusively for this cause. These include 4 sets by Katlyn and 3 sets by DeeDee Anderson and each set includes an image and some greetings, in both Jpeg an PNG file formats, all in a zip file.  You can see them here on the design blog!  These sets are available for just $2 each or in various value bundles with all proceeds being donated to Operation Write Home, minus paypal fees.

THanks for stopping by today - your visit is a special one always!

Big hugs,

Bigger Blessings :)
