Featured Friday Cardmaker
Meet Jean from Alaska.....she's been sending us cards for a while now....what talent!
About 8 years.
Do you have a craft room or specific area where you stamp?
Yes, I have a small bedroom converted to my stamping area.
What are your favorite stamp products?
I like designer papers, brads, eyelets, ribbons and rhinestone gems.
Do you have a favorite technique?
No favorite technique, I do like to color with color pencils and chalks. I like the new embossing folders used in die cutting machines. I like to heat emboss to add a little shine to cards.
Are there colors you love to include on your cards?
I almost always use white cardstock, and I like pinks, browns, reds, and blacks. I let the stamp or the occasion dictate the colors I use.
How did you hear about Operation Write Home?
I first saw it mentioned on a card gallery website, and then searched the web to find out all the details.
What motivates you to make cards for our heroes?
It brings me joy to think others may benefit from a hobby I enjoy so much. It’s a great way to support the troops and show I care.
HI Jean! So nice to meet you and see your beautiful cards! I especially love the yellow card with the flowers spilling out of the box! Nice job on all of them :D
What nice cards. The I Think of You Daisies is absolutely gorgeous! Great job Jean, thanks for sharing your work.
Wow! These are beautiful! I know they will love them!
Jean, I love all the cards, so much variety. I especially love brown and blue together.We visit Alaska every other year and I know Palmer well!
Hi!
Today I posted an entry on my blog with a link to OWH Stars and Stamps.
I'd appreciate your letting me know if that's OK.
Thanks,

Nice to meat Jean :) I love that yellow daisy card the best, but they are all beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful cards Jean! Love the swirl sentiment and buttons on the flower card!
Jean, your cards are terrific! Lots of inspiration! Thank you for sharing with us and with our heroes!
Jean, What lovely cards! You have a really great sense of balance in your designs. My favorite is the daisy card - the masking is brilliant and the one yellow brad perfect. Thanks for sharing everything. Blessings, Louise
