Hello bloggers and hoppers! Welcome to my stop on the Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop by Operation Write Home! This is my first time participating in a blog hop so I've got my fingers crossed that I'm doing it correctly. Here are two missing you cards that I made for the hop. I went with kids cards because I know if I were away from my children for so long I'd be writing to them like crazy! My first card is for a mom to write home to her daughter. I love this silhouette image but only made a couple of these cards because I typically like to make more general cards that can be used by more folks.
Recipe:
PP is Basic Grey (floral) and My Mind's Eye (blue) Silhouette is cut with Cricut's A Child's Year cart.
My other missing you card is also designed for a little girl (can you tell I have a young daugher). :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and participating in the hop. Happy Memorial Weekend everyone!!
Next up on the hop is KellyRae, stop by her blog and leave her some love on her missing you card(s)!

Crystal you have inspired me to make a card a parent can send a child. What better way to show young ones the meaning of sending cards than to receive such a special one themselves. Great card!
Awww cute cards! Not sure which I like more....they both make me smile!!
They're both lovely and adorable! I know know what they meant by recipe, I'm new to cardmaking, so I was thinking more like sugar cookies, ha, very cute cards,
Very sweet cards! They will be loved by whomever receives them!
Great cards, love the silhouette.

Crystal,
beautiful card! So glad you are part of the hop!
Blessings!
Great cards for kids! Thanks for supporting OWH and joining the hop!
these cards are both amazing! no way to pick a fave here.... both rock! :)
These are very cute cards. I keep seeing that Cricut Critter cartridge used on cards, so I may need to get it. It makes really cute kids cards!
These are two beautiful, sweet cards. I don't know which one I like most. Love your detail on the zebra! This was my first time, too. I hope to see you on the hop again next time. Happy Hopping!
Cute cards! I love the papers you used.
Sorry my blog candy post wasn't up when you stopped by my blog. (Naughty blogger!) It is up now if you are interested. Sorry about that.

Cute Cricut cards!! Don't you just love your Cricut?? I do!! Mine goes with me to Friday nights crops!
Awwww! So cute. Love that cartridge!
These are both so great. TFS.
Fabulous cards Crystal! Happy hopping and have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Both are great cards, love the zebra.
The giraffe card looks like it would be fine for a boy too... it's not too floral. But I adore the first card. It's a bit different from a lot of the designs you see, which makes it more interesting.
Two wonderful cards. I like them both. Well done and thought out. Thank you for sharing on the blog hop.
Both of these cards are great and would make any child's day. Thanks for thinking of the kids. I really like your stitching on the clouds.
Aawww they're just great! Thanks!
These are great! The black silhouette is very striking against the pastel background of the first card. I totally love that the zebra's nostrils and mouth form a smiley face!
Cute cards love the silhouette :) Hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend :)

Lovely cards! Have a wonderful weekend.
What a perfect card for a child to receive. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful cards! I like the sentiment and silhouette combo. I am glad you are back to crafting cards and were able to hop with OWH this weekend.
I think the first card just grabbed my heart! I love the second card too - googly eyes with lashes!! I got some of those too at JoAnn's - they are sooo cute. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards!
Hi Crystal,
Love these cards! In the first card, how did you write the "My Heart Misses You" is it little letters? Chriss

You did a great job for your first time. Nice cards.
Great cards..sooo differnt. Really like the zebra card!!!
OMG, I love both your cards! Lovely silhouette and such a cute die cute! Hugs, Karen
Oh my gosh, I love both of those! That zebra is just way too cute for words. I love spring too! Hugs to you and thanks for the awesom inspiration. I will be a new follower!!!
OH OH OH! We have two crazy ferrets too!!! Steve, and Tyler!!!! Yay, ferret people! Have you seen Sandy's ferret digi stamp??????
What delightful cards--I especially love that precious zebra, Crystal!
Lovely cards. I really like the zebra's eyes, I've never seen any like it. Tell me more!
TFS! lflinesatcomcastdotnet
Great cards! love them both but the zebra is my favorite
Lovely cards - I think it's genius to use a Dymo labeler for the sentiment on the first. I need to do more kid-based cards, but I find them hard to do. You've given me good ideas! Thanks for being in the hop!
Kids will love getting these from their parents.
Such sweet cards! Love the little girl card, so cute!
Hugs,
Dee
Both cards are so pretty. TFS.
