Patriotism

So I don't really do a lot of military cards - but I've been watching the Republican debates and hearing what they are saying about the lack of support for our military and our veterans and I've got to tell you - it breaks my heart. Living here in Prescott we hear a lot about it as their is a great VA hospital here and a lot of people who support our vets. 

So I came up with this card for a possible upcoming fund-raiser I'll be doing here.  Still have to work out a few details.  But I hope to use it in advertising.  Hope you like it!  ~Maureen

Patriotic Card in a box

So this month at club we made these great red-white and blue cards - using the star set and framelits from Stampin' Up!  I really like how they turned out.

 I'm showing several different views so you can see how we put it together.

 The gold glitter stars added that bit of fun sparkle.

 We also added a few gems to some of the stars - but I took this picture before finishing.

 Here it is all folded down and ready to slip into the envelope for mailing.

 Adorable, and fun!
