OWH Memorial Day Bloghop

Welcome to the Art Impressions Blog! Thank you for joining us for the Memorial Day Bloghop for Operation Write Home! Operation Write Home is an amazing organization who send blank, handmade cards to our nation's troops, so they can write letters home to family and loved ones, as well as encouraging notes thanking those serving.


We appreciate this wonderful organization that brings troops and their families a little closer together, although they might be worlds apart. We are very passionate about our support for those who are serving for us. It's our family, our friends, that are laying their life on the line.

That being said, we have a wonderful announcement ...
We are so excited to be partnering with OWH to help expand their vision! We hope you join us on June 15 for the big reveal and inspiration for our new sets!

We're also extending a great offer for this fun weekend!


Our designer, Piali Biswas, has created a fun card for the bloghop "Thank You" card theme! You can take a little hop over to her blog for the details!
 Piali used our To The End set and Owe You set
She used sketch #68

Thank you for joining us! We hope you enjoy the bloghop and have a wonderful Memorial weekend!

What a fun card! The smiling face on the outside is adorable and the inside with his tail and the sentiment combo is just great! I love the humor that is so much a part of all the AI stamps.

Becca-expressions said...

The thumbnail of this card does not do it justice. Not only because of the inside and outside nature of the dog (which is too, stinkin' cute), but the patterned paper seemed overwhelming in the small picture but is totally awesome in the larger one. Thanks for your participation in the OWH Blog Hop and your company's support of this amazing organization!

Barbara Greenberg said...

Great card, and so cute that you decorated the card inside too. Little doggy butt wagging his tail is just too cute.
