Another turtley awesome card

This card didn't make the cut for the skip this weekend, but I liked the background and how I colored the turtle, so I decided to share it.

OWH/Stamper's Best Animal Pun Blog Skip

Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting during the Operation Write Home/Stamper's Best Animal Pun Blog Skip. If you came over from Jan's blog, you're in the right place. If you just happened upon my blog today, be sure to head over to Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps blog to begin the skip from the top and make sure you don't miss a single bit of the fun.

Sandy Allnock of Operation Write Home designed three sets of punny animal stamps which Stamper's Best manufactured. After you see all the great cards on the hop, I hope you'll take advantage of a great sale and purchase the sets at the special buy-two-get-one-free price that Stamper's Best is offering this month. While you're there, pick up some of their great cling storage cards, too!

The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Marlene.

My first Stamper's Best order

I've had one Stamper's Best stamp for over two years, but I've never ordered any stamps from them until now. What is that one stamp, you ask? Well, it's my Operation Write Home logo stamp that goes on the back of every card I send to OWH. Stamper's Best donates all of these stamps for OWH. As you can see at the bottom of this post, my stamp has been going strong for well over 3,000 impressions! These stamps are made to last.

On Friday night, I ordered some stamps and a few of their cling storage cards. Everything arrived yesterday, including a free gift and another OWH stamp (which they send with every order). The real reason for my purchase was the upcoming OWH Animal Pun Blog Skip featuring stamps designed by Sandy Allnock of Operation Write Home and manufactured by Stamper's Best. Sales of these new stamp sets will benefit OWH thanks to the generosity of Stamper's Best. I'm one of the stops on the skip, so be sure to come back on Saturday, March 9 after 9am EST to see what's in store.

Here's a picture of some of my cling stamps loaded up on the cling storage cards. Look at how many fit on just one side of a sheet. I've filled up 4 of the 10 I purchased and I think there are a few more cling stamps hiding out that I missed.

This card is made with the stamp set I received as my free gift: Friends and Underwear! The entire sentiment says, "Friends are like underwear, always near you" but I chose to highlight only the last part of the phrase.
