Operation Write Home

I am currently making cards for Operation Write Home, which sends blank handmade cards to deployed servicemen and women. OWH is an amazing organization that ships thousands of cards each month to our nation's Heroes so they have something to write home on. Please check out the tag on the sidebar for more information on this inspiring mission. Please join me in supporting our men and women who sacrifice for us all.

12x12 = 6x6 Christmas One Card Wonder - Whew!


That title is a mouthful!  What really happened is I found a 12x12 sheet of very busy Christmas cardstock in my stash.  The pattern was such that I could cut it down to 6x6 and go from there.  This picture is the 6x6 version.


It was not a paper I could see using over the whole card so I thought I would give the One Card Wonder idea a try.  I found a template from which I made the first 6 cards.


 I had an unopened package of K&Co. Christmas embellishments that were just crying out to be used and off I went.  There were 23 embellishments in the pack so I had to make 2 of my own to complete the 25 cards made from ONE 12x12 sheet of paper! 


Ok, let me tell you that was nuts.  But I did keep with a few of my pledges to use up what I have, if I open it use it and to get a jump start on the Christmas cards. 

 
This last pic is of one of the embellishments I had to make when I ran out.  And NO leftover patterned paper!
