I’m going full-on red, white, and blue today to wish you a Happy Memorial Day!

While we celebrate this 3-day weekend with family gatherings and the onset of summer, let’s not forget why we have this holiday. This is for all the military personnel who have given their lives while on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. We remember you and thank you.

I picked Real Red, Basic White, and Blueberry Bushel for my colors. Night of Navy would be my second choice for the blue, but Blueberry (now retired) is just the perfect shade, don’t you think?  I picked my sentiment from Peaceful Moments and cropped it with a Tailor Made Tag Die. Stitched Stars Die-cuts with Gold Foil add the shine. You can see the rest of the products I used listed below.

My card fits nicely with the Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge as well. I can go two ways ~ diagonally left to right, or horizontally through the middle!

Enjoy your picnics, barbeques, and swim parties today. And… always remember…! Happy Memorial Day!

  3. A beautiful tribute to us, Karen! The ribbons and die cut resemble fire works to me. Very creative and clever. Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players this week.
