I am experimenting, before the WishRAK challenges this week end. We are making cards to send to the troops - they in turn will send them home to family and friends. I do not have the details, but one challenge is to recognize the diversity of the troops, and to make either Hannukuh or Kwanzaa cards. I have had these images for a while, and I am not sure if they would be appropriate. (I have forgotten with SCS member sent them to me, and I hoarded a couple.) What do you think? And - please join us if you can, Friday evening and Saturday. We need a lot of cards for the troops.
I thought I could bring her along to the Tea Party, to attend the Rock Concert in Africa - details here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers

i LOVE the bright colors in this one! and the paper is so cute--especially together like you have it [i'll have to get mine out]! the image is cool--love the 'fabric' in her wrap! cool sketch, too! great card!
i contributed a few cards for the troops during the summer--but they were all generic 'christmas' ones. i'd like to do it again. i have nothing that is remotely for 'kwanzaa' or 'chanukah', but lots that can be adapted! i'll look your group up and, hopefully, i can join you this weekend! thanks for the heads up! ~k

Just lovely colours, yes and pretty image. Alot of colouring here, so this lady will be able to show us around the jungle I suppose. What a neat idea, hope she goes for red and black though. Love your patterns and the thought behind this card. Will look out for the troops. TFS
