  86. I always love the cards on this blog, so inspirational and unlike most blogs/sites don't go overkill on the hard sell on the products. It's always a pleasure to view this blog again and again.
    You are so generous giving your support.
    Promise to not change the way you do things and you will always have at least one fan.

  95. I'm a military brat and married to a military member and I appreciate the thoughts shared. Love the cheer & laughter in these cards!

    So glad to see businesses supporting OWH in their mission to support heroes and their families!

    Much love!

  100. OWH is such a great organization! It's wonderful to see – not only such cool Lawn Fawn cards, but also so many companies participating in the blog hop. 🙂

  106. Thanks to Tiffany and Latisha for the service and sacrifice they and their families make.

    Love the bright and cheery colors — even the clouds are smiling!

  109. What an incredible amount of talent and inspiration provided by the design team – thank you! I'm lovin' the stamps and papers they chose to use – so many bright and cheerful colors. Thanks for supporting OWH!

  114. I remember when my husband was sent on a remote to Spain in 1990. Our kids were very little and I was not handling single motherhood very well. I would get letters from him on yellow notebook paper that I still have in a scrapbook. While yellow notebook paper was not great, it was better than most other options. This is why I make cards for our troops. Thank you for supporting this generation of troops.

  121. Great cards! I'm so happy to see some of my favorite retailers participating in the OWH blog hop! Just makes you more special than you already were (which was hard to manage, but you did! LOVE my Lawn Fawn stamps!)

  124. These are such cheery cards! I know they will bring lots of smiles to both giver and reciever. Special thanks to Latisha and Tiffany for their sacrifice and for supporting OWH. Thank you Lawn Fawn!

  129. Great inspiration comments…of course the cards are pretty cool as well. Please do not make me pick a fav! Thanks for supporting OWH!!!

  130. Wonderful stories by the families of soldiers! I cannot thank their loved ones enough for our freedom, but also them for their sacrifice! THANK YOU! Thank you Lawn Fawn for being a part of this great cause, I myself have made cards for OWH and cannot think of a better way I can help in my own way to say Thanks!
    Crafty Hugs,

  133. Love the sentiment in the 2nd card! So appropriate for the troops. All the cards are great! As a Army Mom, I have to say thank you for all you do for the troops! God bless them!
    And you all!

  137. What great cards!! Thank you for supporting OWH and for the tears I shed reading those beautiful words!! Thank you for your families service Latisha and Tiffany!

  139. These cards are just beautiful and the story behind why these are being made is touching. I think this is the sweetest thing any of us crafters can do to help support our troops and give them something to put a smile on their face while letting them reach out to their loved ones. I'm happy to be apart of this!

    Hugs,

  143. Your stamps make such beautiful cards and these examples would make any serviceman's family very happy!I LOve the card with the kite…so simple but beautiful!

  150. These cards are just wonderful and sure to cheer up the recipient! I have been making my own cards for OWH and I applaud the troops who help keep us safer!

  157. What fun to see the different "personalities" in your cards, The smiley clouds on the first card are a great touch, and I love the ladt card in red white and blue. Thank you for supporting OWH!

  158. Awesome cards. They are all great. From a veteran's view point, OWH is the best thing in the world, from the spouse of a veteran OWH is the greatest thing in the world. Being able to send cards home to loved ones is the best gift we as civilians can give those that serve.

    Thanks to all those serving and their spouses and families wherever you are at this time.

  162. Definitely going to make several cards for this cause! I LOVE card making and, except for at Christmas time, I generally make more than I can actually use!

  169. Thanks so much for sharing these stories from your DT members again. It's always nice to hear that the cards that we make for OWH mean so much to the soldiers and their loved ones. I have a DD that was stationed in Iraq for 18 months. I made cards for her unit before I heard about OWH, but was happy to hear about them when she returned. ALl of these cards are fabulous! Your DT always does such fabulous work! Thanks again for your support of OWH!!!

  170. All your cards are adorable! I just learned about OWH and am eager to make up some cards of my own to participate! what a great way for paper crafters and stampers to express out appreciation to the troops!

  171. I so love all the papers used in these cards! How do you all combine such colors and patterns and get such fab cards?!

  202. I fell in love with Lawn Fawn stamps and papers recently and was so pleased to witness their support of Operation Write Home. I love the cards that were made for this hop and the letters from your design team members brought tears to my eyes. Making cards for OWH for a year now has been such a gratifying experience, one that I plan to continue as long as we have folks defending our freedoms so far from home. Thanks for your support and thanks for offering a giveaway.

  206. Thank you for a wonderful post. I have been making cards for OWH for two years, it is a small thing to do but I know the troops do appreciate it.
