Welcome to the Operation Write Home blog hop! I am so glad that you stopped by.
This wonderful cause is even more important to me as a very good friend of mine lost her son in Afghanistan last week. He was such a dedicated soldier and so young at 22. He has left behind a wife, two young children and family and friends who love him dearly and are so proud of him for his love of this country. Please take time to read about Michael and perhaps leave a message for his family.
The card that I have made features AJ the Romantic from the Stamping Boutique. I used Prismacolor pencils and Copic markers to color the image. I used Sahara Sand and Pacific Breeze cardstock from Stampin' Up! and Blueberry Crisp designer paper also from Stampin' Up! The lace is from Michaels. I used small pearls in each corner of the image and stampin' dimensionals for depth of layers. I also used some Crystal Effects on the rose and bow of the candy box.
As a thank you for playing along in our blog hop, I am offering one of you the chance to win 2 free digital images from The Stamping Boutique Shop. You may select any two images that you would like. To enter please become a follower of my blog and leave a comment on this post. The winner will be chosen at random and I will announce the winner on Sunday, November 14 at 5:00 PM EST. You will have two days to contact me with your selections.
The Operation Write Home Blog Hop begins here.

What a touching story and memorial for Michael. Thank you for sharing that with us. Through my tears I can tell you that it really brings home the importance of showing our support for the many men and women serving in our Armed Forces (taking a very deep breath now...) I also served in the Army, following in my father's footsteps and can tell you first hand how much this means to everyone!
Oh and I really LOVE the card you made! Thank you so much!
