| Maj. Bill White and his Story |
Hi, Friends......
Did you happen to notice that Diana Larson over at DL.ART has a little mini-challenge along with her regular February Linky? She is encouraging us to send a valentine card to a certain retired USMC veteran, Major Bill White. He is 104 years old and still going strong! I included his picture and a link to an article about him at the top of this post. (I wish I had found this article earlier so I could have written a more personalized greeting inside my card before I mailed it!)
All the details of Diana's mini-challenge are on her February Linky. She has a little prize for a random participant in this mini-challenge. She'll be picking a winner on Valentine's Day....but if you are a late-night crafter (like I am!), you might still have time to submit an entry. Even if you don't enter her challenge, you can still send this dear veteran a card. I'm sure arriving a little late will still be fine...well, not TOO late!! He is 104, after all. :D
Supplies used include:
Dollar Rack stamp set
Versafine ink in Onyx Black
Patterned Paper and Cardstock scraps
Darice - Ranunculus embossing folder
Distress Ink in Walnut Stain sponged gently over embossed pattern
Heart Punch from stash
Darice/Core'dinations Cardstock for card base
Major White, I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day!!! Thank you everyone for stopping by today.
🖤
Janis

Hi Janis...waving over from my late-night crafting session as well. What a fun Valentine, for a wonderful "young" man. I sent him a Valentine from my stash at the end of January when I read about him on a stamping forum. I heard that he's been flooded with lovely handmade cards and is beyond thrilled. Thanks for adding to his Valentine joy with your cheery card.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I'm so glad you're sending him a card. I can't wait to see what the final count is. The last time I read he already had 50K. Wow! [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteI actually saw him on the news last night and all the thousands of cards he received! Congrats to you & the other ladies who were kind enough to make his day so special! Beautiful card Janis! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Hearts’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
