Welcome to my stop on the 2013 OWH Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop. Before I share my card with you I would first like to thank every service member who has paid the ultimate price to defend our liberty and protect us from tyranny. Their families will be missing a loved one at their get togethers across America this weekend and I want them to know I will never forget the real meaning of Memorial Day.
My card is designed to be any 'Any Hero' card that will carry my personal note of thanks to a hero overseas in an OWH box of cards. I made this card with a specially designed 'One Print Card Kit' I made to share with you. You can download it, see more designs made with it and enter for a chance to win my blog candy by checking out yesterday's post on my blog.
My card is based on OWH Sketch #50 —flipped on it's side.
I'm happy you stopped by today. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the hop and your Memorial Day weekend too. Now head on back to the start of the hop over on the OWH Stars & Stamps Blog.
Happy Crafting!
