Welcome to another stop on the Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop!
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
I hope you enjoy my cards and don't forget to scroll down and click on the OWH Banner to find the next stop on the blog hop.

Oooh....I love that silver embossing....is that metallic paper? Your cards are so interesting with the stamps you used. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The metallic paper is actually HVAC tape from the hardware store; it comes in a roll similar to duct tape and has a sticky backing. I simply put it inside an embossing folder.
DeleteLove the flag and the silver as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic pair of cards! I love that little clip on the first, and the chevron background on the 2nd is amazing! NJ on both! Happy Memorial Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards and so colorful!

Wonderful patriotic cards. I couldn't help but notice your dogs on your blog. They look like Weimeraners! I have rescued Weims for the past 30 years. They do leave pawprints on your heart don't they? Anyway back to the cards. Love that metallic paper on card 2. Thanks for your support of OWH.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs on the left are actually labs; one black and one brown. Thanks for commenting.
