Memorial Honor ~ PDC133

Our family takes the time, often, to remember and honor those who have served our country through military sacrifice.  We are blessed to live in the United States of America and know that our freedom comes at a high price.  Today our family will remember those who served and especially those who gave their lives, along with the loved ones who said goodbye to them.   I'm proud to have a father, and 2 grandfathers who fought for our country, along with uncles, cousins, in-laws and friends.   Thank you for your service.  You are appreciated and not forgotten.  May God richly bless you and your loved ones.  Please accept this "virtual card" as my way of honoring you.

The Play Date Cafe has the perfect color combo for any patriotic card.  You still have time to play along with this week's challenge and make a card for any service man or woman in your life. 

I filmed a video hoping you could see the details on this card a little bit better.  My camera is still not focusing properly and it goes dark every time I press the shutter.  :(

For the background I stamped the Wonderfully Worn Background stamp onto Textured Cherry Cobbler paper.  The main image (Fresh Vintage SAB) was also stamped in Cherry Cobbler.  The soft blue image (Fresh Vintage SAB) is Bashful Blue, and the Thoughts of You (Loving Thoughts) is stamped in Midnight Muse (InColor 2012-2014).

Happy Graduation ~ PDCC132

Graduation cards are in high demand right now.  Here is an elegant, yet simple card to make for any grad. 
The color combo comes from this week's color challenge at the Play Date Cafe.  I thought the new Summer Starfruit color was a good yellow for this challenge, and black & white are always nice on formal cards.

Hopefully you picked up the Rue Des Fleurs stamp set before the Occasions Mini catalog was over.  If not, then keep your fingers and toes crossed that it will show up in a future catalog.  It was such a pretty set. 

I'm not yet sure which grad(s) will be getting this card.  It is one that I will probably make a few more of, so I have extra on hand.  Now that I have a child in high school it seems like I know more people who are graduating.  :)

Creative Blessings,
Heather North
