Featured Cardmaker: Samantha E., Fort Huachuca, AZ

Hello everyone! Before I introuduce you to this weeks featured cardmaker I'd like to remind everyone that the OWH Half & Half Mother's Day Card Drive is coming to a close. Pack up your cards and get them in the mail today so they reach your shipper by next Tuesday, March 2oth!

This week it's both my pleasure and honor to introduce you all to Samantha and to be able to share some of her beautiful cards with you. Samantha is an Army wife and sister. She serves as a Director on the OWH Board and helped to represent us at CHA. You can see more of her fantastic cards over at her blog Expressions of a Craftaholic. Please be sure to leave her some love here at the end of this post.

How long have you been stamping? 2 years this May! 

Do you have a craft room or specific area where you stamp/craft? We have an extra bedroom that we use as a craft space for myself and my children.

What are your favorite stamp/craft products?

I'm a pretty big fan of Hero Arts, Verve and SU! I also love twine and embossing folders.

Do you have a favorite technique?

If using twine on just about every card I make is a technique then yes! 

Are there colors you love to include on your cards?

I love to use the basics like white, black, and kraft and then accent it with some color. I have been known to make a bright pink card from time to time though!

How did you hear about Operation Write Home? I was searching for support groups for Operation Iraqi Freedom while my husband was deployed and Operation Write Home showed up. I checked it out and have been hooked ever since!

What motivates you to make cards for our heroes?

I'm from a very close military family. I have 2 brothers, a husband and several close friends currently serving. Being able to support them and others is all the motivation I need!
