Memorial Day

Happy Holiday to all Americans!
Many of you remember those brave man and woman they have lost while they served their country.

I usually have each Memorial Day a card with Magnolia stamps ready. This year i was late to sign up for the annual Memorial Day blog hop.

But last night when a big tornado came through our area ( my town was saved, the storms went to the left and right of us up to Canada) i made this quick card. You can tell that i was distracted. I totally forgot to sew the main image – i left a bigger border to add the stitching. Oh, well by the time i noticed it was glued on.

Stamps: Magnolia Edwin
Papers: Magnolia – all through Sir Stampalot
Check out those new cute Molly Bloom farm stamps! I just found them while looking for the links to Edwin and the papers.

Flag die: Whiff Of Joy through Cute Stamps and Cards

Size of card is this time only 5.5 x 5.5 – i needed a card that is flat and not bulky – no flowers no high embellishments – no big ribbon bows

This card shows your beautiful colouring off to perfection....and while we don't celebrate Memorial Day here in Australia, I can see the patriotic references in the Stars and Stripes papers and the banner. Just lovely, TFS, Dee
