The most difficult part of this card was letting some of these flags sit slanted or crooked. I have a hard time letting go of the the straight and narrow alignment tendencies I practiced during my years in the service, which often can be a block to creative spirit. It's getting better - but still not easy!
Thanks for stopping by!

Very nice card - I love how it turned out.
This turned out great!
I too had difficulty putting some of the flags at a slant, I kept worrying that it was crooked. I love your patriotic themed card!

Wow--you already got your entry done! Love this!
Oh my goodness--Lake Crescent is where we rented the house! How about that?!
Fab patriotic card. I've never been in the military but still had to line up my flags!
I like my flags straight on as well. Love the red, white & blue.
Love your patriotic card! I know what you mean about slanting the banners.
I guess I was on the same page as you with banners and stars. Great minds :) Love the sentiment you used for this very beautiful banner card!
Fantasic! I really like your creation!
Your papers are a patriotic joy to behold. Love them all. The stars are wonderful as well. Love this 4 th of July theme!
Oh, fabulous card for the MIM, Steph!
