Operation Write Home Fundraiser

Hello everyone!  I have been given a great opportunity to share with you about a fundraiser that I hope you will all help with.  Everyone in the cardmaking world knows about Operation Write Home, an organization dedicated to helping our troops stay in touch with their families.

* 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.

* Among other fundraisers going on at the same time, 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. Each "set" includes an image and some greetings, in both Jpeg an PNG file formats, all in a zip file.

* These sets are available for just $2 each, or in various value bundles (e.g. get them all for just $10!), with all proceeds (minus Paypal fees) donated to Operation Write Home.

* The sets can be purchased at the K 'n K blog (NOT their store) from October 17th thru noon November 1st.  All purchases will be emailed out within 24 hours of payment clearance.

* Those who don't craft but would still like to aid the cause can donate directly to OWH. Info on how to do that is at this page: http://operationwritehome.org/donate.html

So here's the card I created to show off one of the adorable sets created by Deedee.

I created this card with the help of some really great challenges, too.  The sketch is from Mojo Monday, the color combo (white, black & bright blue) from My Time Made Easy Pretty Palette and added score lines from The Pink Elephant.  They didn't photograph well, though and the space I created for the ribbon ended up not being quite wide enough for the ribbon.  But I love the results of my card anyway, I think it turned out fun!
