I love patriotic holidays! Today is Memorial Day in the US, and I couldn't think of a better way to stamp than to pay tribute to all of those who have given so much (sometimes even their lives) and continue to work for the freedoms we enjoy!! This is my tribute to them . . .
AND, Lynn linked my hinged card tutorial for today's TLC - TLC222. Here's the link if ya haven't seen it and want to know how to make one of these fun and easy cards:

Wow, I love this little patriotic hinge card. TFS and thanks for the tutorial that made it so easy to see how these are done. I hope to get busy making one ASAP. I have spent the morning cleaning the garage. Yuck, no fun at all. I'm ready for some fun now.
