OWH Memorial Day Bloghop

Update

Thanks to everyone who visited this Memorial Day Weekend. Your kind words are most appreciated.

  • Still smiling about Leslie's comment about this blog's name.
  • Cindy of Cindy's Card Co asked how the burlap/jute ribbon was attached. There are actually two secrets to this success: 1) I used 3D glue dots under the rectangle with the star. Pressing down on the rectangle pressed the adhesive through the ribbon. Then I added a little tape runner under the left-side portion of the ribbon. 2) Since the card is an Any Hero card, I didn't add as much adhesive as I typically do. I wouldn't use such an open ribbon design on a "regular" OWH card.
Congratulations to Heather Thompson for winning the ribbon blog candy. Heather, I'll be in touch!

    I'm still chuckling at your blog name. Yes, there are TWO SIDES to every piece of card stock!

    And I love the way you've used the burlap. I might have miles of the stuff, and now I have a clue as to how to use it. Thanks!
