Cards for Soldiers Challenge with a Prize!!!

Some of you may or may not know that I am a shipper for central time zone for the Cards for Soldiers Project through the Cricut message board. Normally we make cards that are blank inside for the soldiers to use to ship home to their families, but this time we are doing something a little different. Currently we are making "Thank You" cards for the soldiers to show our appreciation for all they are doing daily for us.

So now for the challenge, I would like you to make a thank you card or cards
for our soldiers and ship to me. These can be generic thank you cards or holiday/Christmas thank you cards. I will randomly select from those that send me cards 1 person to win the entire set of the 12 Days of Christmas Snowman new releases from The Stamping Boutique that was graciously donated from Tracey at TSB.

OK to be entered in drawing I need to have your cards by December 1st, please make sure to include envelopes with the card(s) you send. Few helpful tips: please do not use glitter as this can get on the soldiers clothing and be seen with night vision goggles. Also please try to use any bulky embellishments. Other than that show me your cards!

Cards can be sent to me at:
Christy Dillman
610 Prospect
Excelsior Springs, MO 64024

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at micahzane@yahoo.com, I would love to be able to shower our troops with a lots of love this holiday season!!!

Hugs,
Christy

DZ Doodles New Release Day!!!

It's another new release day at DZ Doodles and Diane has once again created some fabulous images. I got the pleasure of working with this cute candy cane image and wanted to do something a little different. The box is a one sheet box, directions can be found on Splitcoast Stampers. I used papers/ribbon from CTMH jingle pack, image is colored with copics. On the inside of my box I put peppermints and the image is like a card.

On the inside it says:

I once knew a gardner who knew how to grow
Bright tasty candies, right out of the snow
I asked him to share his secret with me
And this is what he replied quite readily
To garden in winter is difficult you see
It takes lots of care and a very special seed
I'll give you a couple to grow your own treats
And you'll soon reap a harvest of candy cane treats.

As Diane mentioned on blog please do some sort of charity work this holiday season. If you are interested in joining the cardmaking effort of making Cards for Soldiers to send home to their loved ones, please contact me at micahzane@yahoo.com. I would love to have you join my team and will be posting a challenge with some blog candy soon!

Supplies:
Image: DZ Doodles
Copics: R20/R29/G21
Papers: CTMH jingle pack
Miscellaneous:CTMH juniper ribbon, poem

Cards for Soldiers

Many of you may know this but for those that don't know. I am a shipper for the central time zone for the Cards for Soldiers project through the Cricut website. My friend Sue and I had a goal to make 2000 Christmas cards for deployed troops and we are approximately 600 cards from our goal. So at our crop this weekend we designed and cut all the pieces for those cards and got 300 cards fully assembled. These are some of the designs we came up with and completed this weekend.

Be on the lookout as I will be posting a challenge to you all with some blog candy up for grabs- this will be in support of our troops!

Hugs,
