Happy Memorial Day!

Hello ~ Hello

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! 

I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day full of parades, BBQ's, and great family time! Please take a moment to remember those that served for us, and those that continue to keep our country free and safe. :)

My card was created for Barb's Red, White, and Blue swap over on SCS. I made six of these. The images and sentiment are from  Papertrey Ink, "Est. 1776". I couldn't find many samples with this set (unfortunately). It's going to be a favorite set of mine. The eagle image was cut out with scissors. The rest of the card was fairly simple. I used this SCS sketch for inspiration: 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs ~ LJ

SC172 Sweet Birthday

Good evening, 

Well, I got the SCS weekly sketch challenge done, only a day after it was posted. remarkable for me. This one came together pretty easy. I used Gina K's "How Sweet It Is" Set, for both the image and sentiment. I really like this sketch because you can use a lot of pattern paper with it! I'm a pattern paper geek! I'm also showing off one of my new "toys" here, my prismacolor pencils, which I got on vacation in Arizona last month, and Gina K's Odorless Mineral Spirits. They are so easy to use together. I'm kicking myself for not getting them sooner!
