Welcome to the OWH Memorial Day blog hop using sketches from the Stars and Stamps blog.

For the girls card I wanted a softer look but still wanted an edgie look. I stamped her on colored paper and mounted the image on more colored paper. For the background I chose a geometric look. I finished the card with some bling. I used sketch #2 for this card.
I have some blog candy to give away. Scroll down to the next post to have a look

Great cards! Love that sheet music paper.
I like your teen-themed cards for both genders! Great silhouette images and fun cards!
Great use of these images with the sketches and I really like the papers you used.
Great job with these cards! I agree that teenager cards are hard and you did a realy good job. Thanks for being part of this hop!
Great cards as always Cora .
Thank you!
You certainly DID NOT "miss it" on this hop! Your cards are awesome! You are completely right - we don't make enough cards geared toward this age group, I'm going to work on that more.
Your blog candy is fabulous! I don't always enter the contests but yours I can not resist!!! Thank you!

You're right. Teenager cards are difficult for most of us. But your cards are perfect. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks also for supporting our troops.

Love the papers and you did get it right. Love the "edgy but soft" affect.
Cora, thanks for the inspiration.
Cora, your cards are very cool. You always do a great job. It's true that creating a card for teens is not always easy. Thanks for the inspiration.
You're right, the teen cards are definitely harder! Great job with these! Any teen would love them, and I'm sure you'll have some grateful moms and dads in the military happy to send these home :) Have a great day!
Cora, these are great. The silhouettes are truly rockin'!
Fantastic cards for teens! You're right about this type being harder to find. I loved your choice of bg dp.
Hi Cora,
What great cards and I love that you made them for teens! My kids were teens when my husband was last deployed and they would have LOVED these!
Blessings!
Teenager cards are always hard to do... but you did a great job. thanks to all those in the military for your sacrifice and loyalty.
Rock on, Cora! These are perfect for teens!
These cards are fantastic! I do have a hard time making cards for this age group. Thanks for the inspiration.
OMGosh--these are both great! I really struggle with teen cards; your are very well thought out and coordinated. TFS!

Wonderful idea to think of the teens, definitely a difficult group in more ways than one (hehehe, can you tell I have two!!!). Perfect cards too.

These are perfect "teen" cards Cora.. they are going to love them. Thanks for sharing ~ Pam
these cards are PERFECT for teens! Great cards!
Yes, this age group is so hard to make cards for. You did Great. I like these sketches too.
Okay, you really inspired me with these! Not only are they great, you also reminded me that while I do a lot of kid cards, I don't do teenage ones. (I should especially think of that since our two grandkidlets are teens!) I'm going to have to change that because they're obviously missing their parents at that age.
So, thanks for creating such special cards and for reminding the rest of us there's another age group out there that needs some OWH love! xoxoxo
It worked! It worked! Great cards Cora - they really do rock! I love the papers

How great for you to be aware of the teens and make cards for them!

Fantastic cards Cora! Love that you are focusing on teens--what a great idea!
Yip, teens are hard to make cards for no doubt, but I think you've nailed it!
You're cards are cute, I like those silhouette style of images!
What great interpretations of the sketches!! Thanks for supporting OWH.

Wow! Your cards capture a teenager so perfectly. This has probably been said but, I'll say it anyway. Cards for kids are easy but I shy away from teenager cards. Not any more! I pinned this for inspiration.
Oh gosh my head isn't attached! I forgot my email addy on my comment.

Great images for the teens!
these are terrific teen cards! Thanks for the reminder to make some.
These are great teen cards! I do struggle with these, so thanks for the inspiration!
Nice job on these Cora! I often envision teenagers getting cards that they are not quite a perfect fit . Though they are no doubt happy to hear from a parent or sibling far away it makes me happy when I can manage to come up with some designs for my OWH cards that will really appeal to them. Thanks for joining in the Memorial Day hop and for supporting OWH!
Love the Edgy look of the cards. I often forget to make cards for the older kids, now I am inspired to make some. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous cards!! Those images are great!
Cora, your cards are terrific! I like the sketches you chose to use with the images plus the papers and the embellishments fit each one perfectly.
So clever to think of the big kid crowd. I'm sure they will be appreciated. I love the color choices on the feminine card. Perfect!

Just wondering where you got these stamps.
Great ideas for teenage card--something I have trouble with--thanks!

I struggle with making them
thanks for sharing

loving these images for that special teenager. Hugs
As a former high school teacher, I love that you made cards for teens.
I think you've achieved the perfect amount of edginess. The recipients are sure to treasure these!
Great teen cards! I cannot decide which of the two I like better...love the eyelets on the first fer sure! TFS!!!
Cora, I teach 8th grade and I can assure you you're making cards teens will love. I think the girl card is my favorite with the color palette you chose for it.
Wowza! These cards really rock! Love the added embellies--eyelets and bling!
Great teen cards! I like how you used the embellishments.
Super teen cards. I might use your idea for my niece's birthday. Thanks for hoppin' with OWH.

Fantastic cards! I love your images and your papers.
These are great images for teen cards. I really like the music on the first. I like the bling you have on the other. Nice color choices on both cards.
I love your cards Cora Jean. I never have enough ideas for teenage cards and these are great inspiration.
Love your ideas for teens. They are inspiring. I love the paper on the female card, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
These cards are great and I love your reminder to think of the age of the recipients...sometimes I struggle trying to come up with cards that will be "cool enough" for my teen nieces and nephews! I love these!
Cora, these do rock!! They are perfect for teenagers! I love those stamps!!Thank you! bam7462atgmaildotcom
These are great teen cards! I'm thinking I might give this a try! Thank you for all your beautiful cards that inspire! Have a great weekend!
I love the musical spin on your cards, and I think they'll be a bit hit with their recipients!
I can make kids cards, and girly ones and have made a few guy cards but teens- haven't done many of those. I will have to try a few of those. Thanks for the ideas.
Great cards!
I deleted my other comment because I didn't include my e-mail address, even though I think Google and Blogger accts (and probably others) come up with e-mail addresses attached to them. Nonetheless here's what I said, including my e-mail address at the bottom:
Well, some/most of us may have trouble making cards for teens, but you nailed both of them. Any teen would love to get these (and would likely save them). Thanks for participating in the blog hop and for continuing to support the troops.

Love your cards. I know my two teenage granddaughters would love to receive this card (girl's) and I believe any guy would love to receive the other one. Great job and TFS.
What terrific cards! The teen-theme is really well done, and inspiring to me - I'll have to find some images like these! Thanks for sharing.

Love the cards! Great for teens :)
Great cards! I love the silhouettes!
Hi Cora! You are one hip Grandma! Your cards are fantastic. Love them both, but my fave is the girl card--the beautiful background DP and the flourish which really adds to the feeling of music and movement! Wonderful work!
The teenage cards are difficult - you did a great job!!
These ARE perfect for teens!!! Great job!!! ;)
Goal accomplished...These cards rock:)
Great cards. Any teenager would be happy to get them.
You're right - teens are hard to make cards for. You hit the nail on the head with these though.
Cora...
Your cards rock! I think you have successfully completed "your mission".
Love those silhouette images! Great job with teen cards
Cora - great cards! I seem to focus on cards for smaller children, I'm glad you reminded me not to forget the teens! I have some rock type stamps and will take inspiration from your art and see what I can do. Thanks for being inspiring!
How sweet of you to remember the young adults who have loved ones serving our country overseas! I love your cards, you really captured the spirit of rock music with your designs. The silhouettes, music notes and movement in your design is perfect!
LOVE the teen theme! Hopeto case ya for mine!
