How exciting the day is finally here....let the hoppin' begin!!First, a Memorial Day tribute to a true American Hero, United States Marine Corps Master Sgt. Kenneth Hunt who was killed, serving our country, from injuries received during Operation Iraqi Freedom when his Humvee hit an anti-tank mine west of Baghdad. He served proudly in the I Marine Expeditionary Force based at Marine Corp Air Station in Yuma, AZ.
He was a friend of my brother, also a Marine, and left behind a heartbroken family. I never had the honor of meeting Ken but dedicate this post to his memory and service to our country.
Master Sgt Kenneth Hunt
An American Hero...

Man, you work fast! (Sorry, couldn't resist!!) I just had to watch, all the way to the end. Don't think I've ever used that much glue in my life - I tend to try to use tape when glue would make my life much easier!

Hi Karen Sweetie...
I am Country Wings your newest follower. I love your blog, and your Uncle Sam card is so delightful.
Thank you for inspiring me to give it a try. I have never made a card, but have found a lot of time inside in the last month, with not alot of energy. I have been looking for something that I could do. This blog hop has helped me find something. Thank you.
Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Really cute creation! Thank you for participating with OWH.
Fantastic video...everyone must watch. Great music and loved watching you make this really special card...you made it look so easy. My fave posting on the hop so far!!!! Thanks!

Wow your little video there was quite creative the way you sped it up and put it to music....I wonder if these piecings could be done cutting by hand ...I do not have a cricut! But i must say imo this is one of the best patriotic cards ive seen so far in the hop but omg theres so much creativity in OWH!!
Your card is soooo cute!
Oh my gosh your card is cute! Love that patriotic bear (and the embossed background too).
I love your card and the bright colors, the "Uncle Sam" bear, the embossed background paper and the cool border. I also love the borders that you desogned for our use esp the animal print border.
