I&#8217;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<p>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 <a href=\"http:\/\/riverdogprints.com\/photocardblog\/2009\/07\/04\/cards-for-heroes\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.  The reason I believe in what they do at CFH is I try to place myself in a soldier&#8217;s shoes.  I would greatly appreciate receiving cards that I could send to my loved ones when I&#8217;m so far from home.  That&#8217;s why I love supporting this organization!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to get involved, please check out the Cards for Heroes website <a href=\"http:\/\/cardsforheroes.org\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.  The deadline for all Holiday cards is November 1st.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks for stopping by! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">And the next card for the Blog Hop link is right <a href=\"http:\/\/kajikit.wordpress.com\/2009\/08\/13\/quick-layered-christmas-card-with-wrapping-paper\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cards for Heroes is sponsoring a Mini-BlogHop for the holidays!
