Cardmaking for Operation Write Home
Cardmaking is Fun!
I enjoy rubberstamping and lots of other paper crafts. When I heard about Operation Write Home, I knew it was the perfect organization for me to help.
Any earnings gained from this lens and any future card making lenses will be donated to Operation Write Home. The organization spends thousands of dollars on postage every month and all donations make a big difference.
