Quick Note Holder for Magnets…

Land of the Free Cricut Card – Stand & Salute

I think the Stand & Salute cartridge is great.
A sweet lady hired me to make a card for a soldier serving in Iraq and this is what I came up with.  All of the images are from Stand & Salute.  I used gray glitter cardstock to create the dog tags.  Then, I printed “Thanks [...]
