Happy Memorial Day...and of course Challenges

 Happy Memorial Day to everyone...and a Big Shout Out and Thank you to all of Our Troops and their Families...you've all sacrificed a lot to keep us and our country safe...it seems like Thank You isn't enough.

I've made a couple of  cards...but I intentionally left out the sentiments...I haven't decided if I want to use them as thank or birthday cards yet...decisions...decisions...decisions...so tough to make a decision...lol. 

 

I was kickin' myself...because on this card I forgot to add the twine...and I just noticed it...too late to do anything about it now...but it's still a little cute...I'm really mad at myself for that.

 

 

This card is my fav...lol...but of course it is...because I remembered to add the twine...if I have time to tackle it...and it bothers me enough...I will take it apart and add the twine...love this red, white, and blue twine.

 

 

 

This is the easy recipe:

 

Card stock: real red...whisper white...naturals Ivory...brilliant blue...and crumb cake.

*****

Punches: small and large stars...1 3/8" and 1 1/4" squares...decorative stars and distressed stripes folders.

*****

Additional supplies: airmail bakers twine...snail...s/u mini glue dots and sticky strip...crystal effects...water dew drops...clear mini acrylic discs...red and blue paperclips...big shot...score-it...and fiskars.
