Our service men and women work hard, long hours to keep me and my family safe so the least I could do is create a little card that would put a smile on their face and might, just might make them laugh out loud.
Operation Write Home is at it again, bringing encouragement to the the troops! They are having a blog hop this weekend, with the the theme of Make Them Laugh!
I'm proud to be a part of the May Arts Design Team, a company that supports our country and celebrates our nation’s deployed heroes through Operation Write Home! Although this card was featured over on The May Art's Blog, one of the stops and sponsors along the hop, I wanted to show it here today and spread the word about the hop.
To make the grass I sewed three lengths of the beautiful May Arts solid, wrinkled chartreuse silk ribbon (EA06) to the card base along the bottom edge of the ribbon. I then snipped some fringes and separated the layers with my fingers. I love this stamp set from Skipping Stones Design too, Dogs Volume #1, its got a lot of humorous sentiments!
Love the sentiment...certainly will made me laugh! I'm sure this will be very appreciated Karen.
