A few challenges Mostly About Freedom, and the RED, WHITE & BLUE

What Summer Means...the challenge at Our Creative Corner Challenge Sketch Challenge - OCCSC12  http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/   to me it means the colors of my card.
May is Memorial Day, June is Flag Day, July is the 4th of July, months for family picnics, times to remember, time spent with family for all the outside actiivies we all so enjoy. With a son and a nephew in the military and several friends & family who have served it means "THANK YOU" for our "FREEDOM" so we can enjoy these summer days.




Our Daily Bread   http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/blog-hop-winners-and-odbdslc16-sketch.html   has this Sketch ODBDSLC16  that I patterned my card from.
