I started sending boxes to the soldiers about 5 years ago and recently found this great organization with a group not too far away from my home.
The cards that are sent to the soldiers can not have any glitter on them at all- so I used my sewing machine and some metallic thread to add some sparkle! I used the sketch from MoJo Monday to put the card together. The background red panel is ‘sanded coordinations’ and the white is cuttlebug highlights.
