Stamps by DRS Designs: Jumbo Candle F006, Serve Our Country at Christmas D530. Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Real Red, Silver. Ink: Night of Navy. Accessories: Rectangle Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Snowflake punchs.This is the final week for DRS to sponsor the Midnight Madness Sketch challenges and the second week of their Operation Write Home sponsorship, so I decided to combine the theme with this week's sketch #20.
I've always admired the tradition of placing candles in the window at Christmas time; it seems all the more appropriate when so many of our young men and women in the military will spend the holidays in combat zones.
Show the troops you appreciate their sacrifice by sending cards into to Operation Write Home. In the process, you can win great prizes such as a $50 gift certificate to DRS Designs. Play along with this week's Midnight Madness sketch 19 and there are even more chances to win!
