God Bless the USA... and Our Heroes

Hi, everyone!

This week's OWH Midweek Throwdown challenge is to make an Any Hero card featuring a flag. And, this week's Shopping Our Stash challenge is to make a red, white, and blue card. Well, you don't need to ask me twice! The first card is an Any Hero card, and the second card is blank on the inside for one of our troops to send a note back home.

I love it when cards come together as quickly as these did. Wish that happened more often... and hope it happens a lot this weekend!  :)
 
Parting Thoughts

So, looking forward to this weekend's VCMP! Just between us, a little bird told me there will be some Paper Smooches blog candy at the very first stop.  :)

And, if the VCMP doesn't keep you busy enough, the Words 2 Scrap By Oh La La challenge is going on. 

Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
