My card today is tattered and battered, I used distressed ink on the edges a bit, added a tag with some stitching, and a Primitive Flag with some buttons and a charm. A wooden star and a heart button in one corner, a tiny heart punch gave me a few more patterned stars, a Primitive Felt Heart with some bakers twine and a Primitive Heart that expresses my THANKS and stamped the senitment "Stars and Stripes".
I love how this turned out. I will no doubt send it off to J for the upcoming holiday. They should be settling into a new residence in Kansas as he will be taking another year long schooling. So happy as they will be so much closer for more frequent visits.
Challenges for this:
The Kraft Journal "Stand and Salute" and some of their Kraft products
Stamp Something "Anything Goes"
Creative Belli Blog #117 "Letter S" Stars, Stripes, Sentiments
Sugar Creek Hollow "3-2-1 Receipe " 3 Designer or Patterned Papers, 2 die cuts, 1 charm
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy a truly beautiful day. We are so happy, our temps are warming up and all the flowers can be planted. My husband finished planting, spraying all his new crops. So we have lots of outside projects to get busy with.

I love this! It is beautiful. Turned out great. So glad J and family will be closer. Sure miss that guy and wish I could meet his wife/daughter. I think she and Olivia would have so much fun playing together!
This is gorgeous! I'm so glad your family will be closer. We miss them so much when we can't visit!
What a fabulous card, Sylvia! Love, love the paper and kraft combo and LOVE the distressing. The primitive flag and embellies are as cute as can be. Love the little clothespin you added to the side. :)
This is absolutely perfect for our Stand & Salute challenge at the Kraft Journal this week! Thanks so much for playing along with us.
I love the primitive look your card has! That tag is wonderful, from the stitching to the flag with buttons. I love every bit of this card!! Super job! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Sugar Creek Hollow. Hope to see you back again soon!

I love this primitive and patriotic card that is just perfect for our Stand and Salute Challenge at The Kraft Journal. Thank you so much for joining us this week!
I love the patriotic card that you have created...so pretty with the primitive look of it... I found a cute little box the other day with a primitive flag and just had to have it. Very clever the way you've used the buttons for your stars in the flag. Thanks for playing along with us at Sugar Creek Hollow this week.
