How wonderful that Operation Write Home gets to share a bloghop with our sister organization, Operation Skriv Hjem, in Denmark! This is their first bloghop, so leave them lots of comments! The hop starts HERE. (You should have arrived here from Dorthe's blog, Pipserier.)
Here's my red, white, and blue card, and it's a clean and simple one.
Here's my red, white, and blue card, and it's a clean and simple one.
A quick note on the process. I used the Silhouette to cut 4 identical white rectangles with circles inside. I layered them and tied the twine on either side. Foam adhesive beneath the pennants makes them stand out from the cloud background.

Carl - star punch
