HeLLo Everyone! Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you! :)
Today I am participating in the 2010 OWH Memorial Day Weekend Bloghop. So for those of you that are new to my blog, I would just like to say "Welcome!"..... Hope you are able to find some inspiration here and enjoy this post. I'll try not to write too much, since I know many of you have various other blogs to visit today as well.....
My first card for today was made using the Star Cascade stamp from DeNami Design. I figured it was appropriate for my card, since it was simply based off of the American flag. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
My next card was meant to go along with the "Miss You" theme of today's bloghop. I figured the message of "Thinking of You", along with a bare and lonely tree, would represent the fact that the receiver of this card is being missed. Hope you guys are able to interpret it in the same way. :)
And finally... If you have some time, I would just like to share the following video with you that I found on the internet a while back. Some of you may have already seen this before, but for those who haven't, I think it is a great compilation of those families who are missing their loved ones, and the mix of emotions that they go through when their soldiers finally return home.
I definitely get a bit teary-eyed when I see this video. But I feel it is appropriate for Memorial Day, and it can help us all to be appreciative and grateful for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to our country.
Well, that's all for this post. I really hope you enjoyed my cards. I'd love to hear what you think! And if today was your first time on my blog, then I hope you come back to visit again soon! :)
Thanks for stopping by!.....
