My Honey works at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda CA. He is always amazed at the stories he hears from our veterans. Where they have been, if they saw combat and what their jobs were while while they were serving our country. He even had a chat with a Medal of Honer winner this year, he said "that was the highlight of his week". He remembered the poise that this gentleman had while telling him of his time spent  in active duty. I have the utmost respect for the families of and for those soldiers who serve and protect our great country. Before we start with  my cards  We want to say with great Respect and Admiration-
Thank You  for protecting and serving our country.
 Jeff and Patrice.

I created two cards for this hop. I sure hope you enjoy them as much as I did in making them. PS I used Sketch #4 by Kathy R

My first card is a very feminine card. It could be used to give to someones Sweet Heart, Mom or Sister. I used mostly SU products in creating these two.With the exception of the little flowers on this card. They are from a misc. vendor.
Now, for a look at the inside. I try to gussy up the insides of the cards that I send. I think the receiver gets a little extra surprise a second time. I really try to carry the card front theme on to the inside as well.

Here is a photo of the second card. It is along the same lines as the first card with regard to elements the embossed background  and the Bird on a cage, but it is a bit more on the masculine side. I used Sketch #114 (I think) on this card

Here is the photo of the inside

 I hope you like my cards and will come back to My Little Patch of Dirt again real soon. I usually post a couple  times a week so if you want notification of when I post please sign up to follow this blog. I would love to share paper crafting ideas and techniques with you.
Enjoy this amazing Blog Hop and have a safe and fun Memorial Day Weekend. Thanks for leaving a little love in the comment section too. It makes posting all the more fun.
Chat soon, Patrice
