OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop

Hello, friends! I'm so excited to take part in this year's Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop. OWH is a worthwhile cause that provides handmade cards for the servicemen and women to send to their loved ones back home.

My card for today is based on Sketch #34. I stamped The Craft's Meow's Flower Garden stamp images in colors that match the My Mind's Eye patterned papers.
Thinking-of-You
The sentiment is from The Craft's Meow's Telegram set. It says, "Thinking of You is the most natural thing for me to do." Now, wouldn't you love to hear somebody say that to you? :)
Thinking-of-you-det
Thank you for hopping along with us today. Finally, I want to say a BIG thank you to the many men and women who sacrifice so much to ensure our freedom! You are always in my prayers and may God bless you and protect you as you are away from your loved ones.

    I am not fond of cut out images that don't follow real close to the edge. You did a super job making all of those cut flowers look so natural. Great job with those scissors

    So many things to love about this card. I really like the row of flowers on the dp below the twill ribbon and how they echo the stamped flowers above.
