a special blog hop!

We are joining forces with Operation Write Home to honor the memory of those who have given their lives in service to their country…and families, our hearts are with you as you go through the pain of remembrance once again. Your sacrifices have not been made in vain; our land stands strong and free because of all who have defended her.

I have many family members who have served this beautiful country and I am extra-grateful for them.


My card is admittedly "over the top" but I just couldn't seem to stop.  I started with sketch 122 and ended up with this LOL...and oh my how funny, I completely forgot about the "Thank you" theme.  Please, let's imagine that this says "Love U".

I used Loopy Leaf die, Needle Little Love stamp set and Leafy Greens stamp set


The blog hop starts HERE

HERE are the guidelines...for OWH cards if you decide to participate

...as our way to say "Thank You", we'd like to offer you a special discount.

Use this code: PSlovesU15

...to receive 15% off your entire retail purchase at our web store.

This offer expires at midnight (mountain time) on Monday, May 27th

The free TAM stamp set is included with purchases that total $60. or more AFTER discount is applied.  (please keep that in mind)

I also mentioned a PRIZE in a previous post - I will choose one random winner to receive a prize (to be announced) on Tuesday, May 28th.  Winner chosen from comments on this blog post.

Remember that if you order our Circle of Honor stamp set, a portion is donated to Operation Write Home.

Sorry friends....I forgot to post the winner of a stamp set of their choice...
It's been a busy week.  My son turned 16 on May 21st, my daughter turned 14 today and my bff is going back to Seattle for the summer, so I had one last crop with her until she returns in the fall. 

the lucky winner is:
Travel
Trendy Sentiments
Ocean Creatures
Gardening
Canning jar vase and flowers
Esther  please e-mail me at info(at)papersmoochesstamps(dot)com to let me know which stamp set you'd like.  Please feel free to wait a week to choose a new stamp set :)  CONGRATS!!!

They all look cute :)
I hope you enjoy your weekend friends
love you!
Kim

    Yup, over the top, but in a good way!! (I sometimes have the "just one more embellishment" syndrome.) Love the loopy leaves in patterned paper. Lots of great dimensional effects. Have a great Memorial Day weekend! Thanks for supporting OWH.

    Wow - lots of little details in this colorful card! I love the sentiment buttons and the all the different papers you chose. I too got so caught up in using a tutorial that I almost forgot we were supposed to use the sketch. Thankfully it all worked out in the long run lol. Thanks for sharing!

    I love the collage feel of this card. It is something I am just not able to pull off. When I try it it turns into the "sneeze" cards that Sandy is always talking about. Thank you for sharing and for your support of OWH and our HEROS

    So what I love about your card is that I was drawn to the I luv you and then my eyes were drawn to the flower then I notice the brad on the star paper in the upper left hand, it was like a pop of happiness everywhere I looked
