It's time again for the annual Memorial Day Operation Write Home Bloghop!! Even though things have been a bit crazy (and more than a bit stressed!!) around here, I so wanted to participate in this event. I had planned on making two cards, but in the end I stopped with one.

Your card is absolutely wonderful, so much detail! Truly a winner!
Wonderful card! I remember having trouble lining up all those little pieces when I did the sketch, but you rocked them! I also love your poster; I put photos of our trip to Arlington Ntl Cemetery taken one Memorial Day to teach the grandkidlets that the holiday wasn't all about barbecues and swim parties on my Friday blog. I'm going to share your poster on my blog & FB page tomorrow.
Perfect card for the occasion!
