\nCards for Heroes is sponsoring a Mini-BlogHop<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for the holidays! I know… I saw Halloween candy in the stores two weeks ago and thought that was rushing it. But if you make cards for a living OR you’re overseas and rely on an organization like Cards for Heroes, it’s not too early to think Holidays.<\/p>\n

Here is my holiday card for all those terrific men & women serving our country. I’ve had these two photos living on my computer for awhile and knew I would use them for a card at some point. I used Photoshop Elements to create the card and used the magic wand to cut out the silhouette. Then I used a blending mode set to multiply. It created a soft and lovely look that says home to me. I hope you and our heroes like it.<\/p>\n

I only recently heard about CFH. Since then, RiverDog Prints has been running a promotion for the summer in support of Cards for Heroes. You can read more about that here<\/a>. The reason I believe in what they do at CFH is I try to place myself in a soldier’s shoes. I would greatly appreciate receiving cards that I could send to my loved ones when I’m so far from home. That’s why I love supporting this organization!<\/p>\n

If you would like to get involved, please check out the Cards for Heroes website here<\/a>. The deadline for all Holiday cards is November 1st.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by! <\/span><\/p>\n

And the next card for the Blog Hop link is right here<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
