My Favorite Colors

I've always been a fan of our country's colors. RED, WHITE, BLUE, nothing makes me prouder than to see our flag waving in a slight breeze.  When my son joined the military it took on a whole new meaning. Tears when they play the Natinal Anthem, and hurt when people don't respect what it all means and Pride to know that my son is helping us to be a free nation.
 
My card today has some shabby goodness on the edges, even did a little stitching, finished off the inside and made an envelope.





And "THE SPIRIT OF THANKFULNESS"  the Sentiment is just what it's all about.

Awesome card, Sylvia!! I, like you, adore everything patriotic. And with your son in the military, I know it's especially meaningful to you. Love that vintage image from Crafty Secrets and love the bunting banner on the side. Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Kraft Journal.

What a wonderful card and tribute to our country. I know the feeling you feel when no one get up to salute our flag, I have a son that was in the Marines and now a policeman. They all serve our country and so many take it for granted. Thanks for sharing your story and your beautiful card Sylvia. Love the vintage look.
