Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop!





Hey There Bleeps (blog peeps!)
I hope you have enjoyed the blog hop so far. If you've come from Samantha's beautiful blog then you are moving in the right direction! If you would like to start at the beginning, please click the badge at the top of this post!



Last year, I participated in The OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop too!!! I decided to try and 'kinda' remake that same card from last year again. I used the same Cricut Cartridge, but the image itself is a different one.....if you wanna peek at last year's card, click here!

The rest is all Stampin' Up! punches, embellishments, stamps, card stock, etc.



I am offering some blog candy to one lucky person, to enter to win, see the post below this one!!! I also made two other 'Missing You" cards for the troops for you to check out in that post too!! I hope you like my card today!!!  Please hop on over to the next blog: Jen.....she has a beauty of a card to show you!!!!

Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend, thanks for visiting me!!!! ;)

Love it!! More Cricut cuts on cards - bonus. I love my Cricut. He goes cropping with me on Fridays. This cart is on my wishlist. I didn't think I needed it but now....
The diecut reminds of my young son in the Fourth of July parade but he was in the wagon!!
