OWH Memorial Day Weekend BLOGHOP 2013





Welcome to Operation Write Home's Memorial Day Weekend Bloghop!  The theme of this hop is to make a thank you card using an OWH sketch.  Click the banner above to go to the starting point of the hop.




The sketch I used is Bonus Sketch #1, you can find all of the bonus sketches HERE.

Here are the details:  Sentiment is from Paper Smooches Word Salad set.  I used Bon Voyage and Say Cheese from Lawn Fawn.  Paper is from Basic Gray's Out of Print.  My pink layering cardstock is from American Crafts.  I colored my cloud and airplane with copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic time hopping along today!

Sheila

PS...OWH is in need of Hero Mail.  Take some time today to write a note or two of Hero Mail for OWH to send off to our military members to thank them for their service.
