Original Post
Hi, everyone! Welcome to the Words 2 Scrap By post for OWH's Memorial Day Bloghop.
On this Memorial Day Weekend, those of us at Words 2 Scrap By offer thanks to those who have served our country.
W2SB is a challenge blog started by a couple of OWHers in January that uses words as the inspiration for monthly projects.
Today we are posting a bonus challenge that uses the words Red, White, and Blue as our inspiration to make cards for Operation Write Home. Our I-Teamers have used OWH Sketch #12 to make cards for OWH's four themes: Love You, Miss You, Happy Birthday, and Thank You.

ReplyDeletePatriotic cards are always a challenge for me-I just cant decide on a design. I like your three examples a lot and like that one is not as obvious by using the colors but doing it in flowers, etc. I am going to keep tha tin mind!
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to Penny's card - love the papers, and the simplicity of how the colors change across the card, and the way the sentiment goes off the card. Almost like something scrolling across the screen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a classy group of cards. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Love me some red, white, and blue!
