Hello ~ Hello
Our theme for the Duel between the Darlings and Divas this month is "Patriotism" - which was decided by our hostesses Barb and Terry :) Barb sent the Divas a great red, white and blue kit to plat with, featuring the a Whipper Snapper image (Glory Bee). I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch for the card layout/design.
I chose to make a square card this time around!
I don't have any specific "Flag Day" memories.....however I found some interesting information on Flag Day I thought I would share - especially since it's specific to my home-state Wisconsin!
Appleton, Wisconsin claims to be the oldest National Flag Day parade in the nation, held annually since
1950. It was also named "Most Patriotic City in America" by AmericaTheBeautiful.com in 2008.
With further research, I found this website about the festivities in Appleton, WI for Flag Day.
I only live two hours from Appleton, so I think this maybe a future "Flag Day" trip for me and my family.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by my blog today! I have been working on another project lately - hope to
share it soon (within the next week)
Hugs ~ LJ

Great card LJ--I think the sketch you picked is perfect for this bee. I am glad you liked the challenge this month--see you in the fall when we do it all again!
LJ this is a great card. You used the kit perfectly and I love the sketch you chose. I really like the round die cut you have tucked behind the image panel it is a perfect. Great job on this card... I love it.
Hi LJ! I'm a little late to checking out your blog post for the DDD. Love, love, love your card! Great use of the paper, beautifully colored image, ribbon and button and brad embellishments along with that terrific sketch!!! Interesting and fun facts pertaining to the flag and your community.
Oh my goodness, this is adorable! I love the image - your kit was fun, I'm sure! And your design is perfect!
