New Challenge at KAH-wink-E-dink!

Hi there everyone! I'm back this morning with a new card to tell you all about the new challenge up at KAH-wink-E-dink! The challenge theme this week is 'Birthday'.

Everyone can always use more birthday cards, but don't forget small gifts and other projects can also be created around this theme too! So get out your stamps, make something awesome and then head over to the KWED blog to link up your projects! We can't wait to see what you've made!

My card below features two digis from KWED - Andrew is in the Army Now, and Golfer Girl. Because they are digital stamps, they were very easy to resize and combine with very little effort. This is very important for me to try and save time as I want to make several variations to create as many cards as possible.

Why? Well, this card is one of many handmade cards that are being donated to OWH to send out to be used for the brave men and women who are serving our country in the US Military. To see how you too can help Operation Write Home, please click on the link HERE. It is a small way to help the men and women who are serving our us to put a smile on the faces of their loved ones too! Why not make a card to donate too?

Digital Tuesday - Use your Scraps
