Here is a very simple card I made over the weekend. I cased this card layout over at Two Peas. I can't seem to stop making them. By changing the colors and images it looks totally different. I will be including this card in my next box to OWH shippers.
I make cards for our nation's heroes because it is a very small thing I can do to honor the men, women and their families that are risking it all for my freedom. My father took part in the attack at Iwo Jima many years ago. I never want to forget his service to our country. Now that he is no longer with us it is a way to pay my respect to those long ago heroes.
Please leave me a comment and then hop over to Windy's. She has a wonderful card to show you. I have been going to her blog for inspiration and I'm sure you'll find some too. Click here to check it out and to keep on the blog hopping trail.
Thanks for joining us.

I can see why you have been using this lay out so much. LOVE IT! Great job!
Great card - I love the plaid. I worry sometimes that some of the male troops won't think to pick up a 'pretty' or 'frilly' card to send home, no matter who they're sending to - this one is sure to grab anyone's attention. Thanks for being with us this weekend for the blog hop!
