Today we celebrate Memorial Day and honor the heroes who serve or have served our country in all branches of the service.
Operation Write Home is having a huge blog hop. The challenge was to make a red, white and blue card and to try and use one of the sketches. Well - this card did start out as a sketch but then you know how sketches take a twist and then a turn, and it is no longer the sketch. I did have good intentions. I did get to use a new pad of red, white and blue paper from Pebbles and this is a new rubber stamp from Deep Red.
Thanks for stopping by.
Please return to the Stars and Stamps Blog to keep hopping.
