Operation Write Home Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop!  If you just came from Debbie's blog to my blog, you are in the right place!  If you just came to my blog, start at the beginning at the Stars and Stamps Blog to find out how to participate in the blog hop.

The blog hop was started to create cards for our troops overseas.  The cards will represent honoring America's 234th birthday.  They can be red, white or blue or anything to commemorate the day!  The blog hop will run today (July 2nd) through July 4th.

What is great about July 4th is that my parents were married on that day!  I love hearing the story of how they prepared for their special day and how one person gave them fireworks as a wedding present!

I Did It Creations is sponsoring the blog hop and will have a freebie for you to use.  Check out the shop to see the designs and the challenge blog for the freebie!

Here is the card I made for the blog hop with Robyn's Fetish image Liberty Bell:



Supplies:
Bazzil cardstock
 Star and blue/white digital paper from Toucan Scraps (first time using digital paper and I love it)
Sentiments cut from designer paper from Craft and Craftin'
Liberty Bell cut using Nestabillities small rectangle and small rectangle scallop die-cuts, colored with the following Copics: E35, E37, E57, W3, and the colorless blender


And now...it is time to visit Nicole's blog next to see what she has in store!

Below is a list of the participants in case you get lost!

So lovely to use the Liberty Bell image for the 4th of July--I did a punch art version for my OWH card!

Great sparkly USA in the corner, too. . . .
