"Participate in the Memorial Day Weekend Bloghop!"
"That's an ORDER!"
Did I scare you? Just Kidding! Heehee
Anyway, I really do encourage you to participate in this bloghop. Obviously, as a Soldier and a Soldier's wife, things like this have a bit of a significant meaning to me. Please support the good cause. If there's a special Service Member in your life. Please leave a comment. We'd love to honor them!
Here's my card:
And here's the button that will take you back to the start of the hop if you're a start from the front kinda person:
But... may I recommend just starting from here and making a full loop on back around. The hop is a little long, so why not keep up your momentum, go forward, be booty-licious, and give the back-end some love too!
Next on the blog hop list is ANITA...
Happy Memorial Day!
P.S. Don't forget to stand up when the flag passes by, and teach your children too as well. It really breaks this little Soldier's heart when everyone just sits on their bum. Memorial Day is a celebration, but it's also sorta like a funeral. Please be respectful to those that have left their lives in order to let us live ours.
Me & My Hubs

Wow- what a fantastic card- the detail and bright, vibrant colors. I have to say though, the picture of you and your "hubs" outshines the card (I know- you didn't think that would be possible). May God bless you and keep you both making His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
Thank you for your service! Your card is amazing :)
thank you for what your family does for our country!
The card looks great. I like the stitching!
SUPERB card! and thanks to you and hubs for serving! I am very patriotic, and I know what you mean my kids generation are like "so what" it kind of pisses me off! sorry.
I am surrounded by vets both alive and passed on. Dad very in WWII in the Navy, as did his brother in the army. uncle charlie was injured pretty severely by a "German Potato masher" in the "Battle of the Bulge" and rec'd the purple heart. Sadly, my own son (now 25) says if they bring the draft back, he's leaving for Canada. I don't get it.
BTW, you guys look awesome in your fatigues!
Enjoy your weekend!

What a fabulous card. I have taught my children from a very young age to respect the flag, stand up, remove your hat and put your hand on your heart. Thanks for all you do.
Awesome card Laura! Thank you for all the service and sacrifices you and your hubby have made for the rest of us. We wouldn't be where we are today without people like you! Happy Memorial Day!
Wonderful card - love that ribbon - and I'm with you with the comments about respecting the service men and women who have given the supreme sacrifice.

Thank you, thank you for your service and for your husband's. You are appreciated and prayed for.
Thanks for the reminder to stand when the flag passes - so many people don't know or don't remember to honor our beautiful symbol of freedom and honor.
Hi Laura! Your card is wonderful, I love it! I'd like to know where the sentiment came from because I'd like one too :)
Happy hopping and have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Fantastic card! Love the stitching and the sentiment panel. And the chocolate covered cherries below are too yummy! Thanks so much for your and your husband's service. We appreciate you! I have two special soldiers--two of our three sons--one currently deployed.
What a totally fabulous card! I love the sentiment and every little detail. Thank you and your husband for your service. The wonderful photo of the two of you in uniform makes me want to stand up and salute you! :)
Now that's what I call a really
patriotic card! Terrific.

Love all of your comments on your blog AND your card, of course! Thank you to you and your hubby for serving our country and protecting OUR bums (as you so aptly put it!). Memorial Day is like a funeral, but people have forgotten because it's become another 3-day weekend full of sales. We HONOR your service and the service of those who have left their lives on the battlefield. THANK YOU!
BTW, I do LOVE your card. Wondering where the image/stamp came from. Loved all of your stitching, too! I never think to add stitching, so maybe I'll challenge myself to try - even if it is just faux stitching.
Awesome card I love the stitching in the top corner!
Beautiful Card!!! Congratulations to you and your husband!!!
That stitching that bow, the dp! OMG wat a wonderful patritic card! Thanks for all you do!!!
Wonderful card, I love your use of different patterns, it adds alot of interest to the card. TFS and most of all, thank you for your service! lflinesatcomcastdotnet
Beautiful card, Laura. I love the star shaped button! And thank you and your husband for your service.
Beautiful card! Love all of your creations! Thank you
Wow - this card is beautiful! The stitching you added really leads the eye around your card nicely. Thank you for your service (and your hubby's). It bothers me to see people not respecting the flag, anthems, all that. It's such a privilege to live in this nation. I grew up in the military, married a disabled Army guy, and have great admiration for all our service people. Thanks!
Love the stitching. Thank you for your service.
Freedom isn't free. We thank you for your service. We have 3 grandsons on active duty and many family members have served as well. We honor all of you.
Thank you for your beautiful card. I absolutely love it. And thank you for you and your hubby's service. And last but not least, thank you for your encouragement of patriotism and respect for our flag and what it stands for.
Love the stitching on card and the little bit of zigzag really sets it off. Thanks for your service and your husband's service as well. TFS!
First, let me thank you and your hubby for your service to our country. Second let me assure you that I always stand when the flag goes by and/or the National Anthem is sung! Love your card, the sentiment is great. Also like how you stacked the blue and then white buttons over the red/white stripe ribbon.

You two are soooo cute! Love your card and the card in the next post. Thanks for the inspiration and for your service.
