Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home 2014 Memorial Day Blog Hop This blog is so new that I'm still muddling through and learning as I go.
My card is one of a series of Any Hero cards made with the "Pages of Honor" 6x6 paper pad from Glimpses by SignifyPink. It's discontinued, which is why it was at the Mighty Dollar store. The May 20, 2014, Midweek Throwdown inspired me to use OWH Sketch 215. It uses large pieces of paper, which will help use up my paper stash.
Sketch 215

Thanks so much for hopping in! I look forward to your comments.
To win a pack of this great 6x6 paper, scroll down to YESTERDAY'S post to see all the designs and follow the directions for leaving a comment. Since everything in the Mighty Dollar store is a dollar, I scooped up a bunch of these paper pads hoping to share them with you!
Happy hopping!

ReplyDeleteLaughing about the "can't take a straight picture" as we are kindred spirits. Also laughing about the large layers using up one's paper stash. Do we ever really use up our stash? ;-) Your card is great, and you are so kind to offer the paper pad as a treat! Thanks!
