I'm such a CAS stamper...so I made two of each of these thank yous. Happy to send them along to Operation Quiet Comfort! Thank YOU for the challenge, Jeanne!
We have some travelers this month, my DH is returning from Germany and my DD has medical school interviews in the mid west and eastern states in the next few weeks- so this is a perfect card for me to craft today! We are having power outages due to storms coming through Western Washington, so I sewed my somewhat ruffled ribbon in fading light by hand Here's FF16JeanneS Our Adventure

Great challenge and cause, Jeanne. Once I got going, I decided to use up all my pp and stamped flags. Ended up making five total. Here are the three designs.
Thanks for a great challenge. I really miss creating for Operation WRite Home so will place Quiet Comfort on my list and create cards for them all year.
