Welcome to Fresh Brewed Designs
New Release Blog Hop -
so glad you stopped in today!
You should have arrived here from the lovely Grace's blog! And if you need to start at the beginning, click here!
Today's card is using the darling digi image called 'Daniel - God Bless America'. I just love, love him! My beloved father was career Air Force and growing up in a military family, traveling the world and understanding what sacrifice and freedom truly are was a wonderful experience for me. And my only sibling (brother, 1.5 years older) knew from as soon as he could walk and talk as a toddler that the Army was the place for him - and he was right! And this image reminded me so much of him, and all the other "Daniels" out there that fit into their mom and dad's uniforms :)I made an easel card with this image ~ set with some Stars 'n Stripes DSP(remember that military newsletter!) paper, a few embellies and a whole lotta memories :) I was really going for a primitive look by using some wonderful papers I found at my LSS last month - very primitive patriotic if you will!
And I'm also giving away this card today :)
No strings attached ~ my father passed away a few
years ago and my husband is not military ... perhaps you or someone you know could use this card to give/send to a loved one so just leave me a comment below that you'd like to be in the hat and I'll let random.org pick a name for me & I'll send it your way via snail mail! :)
I also have a new Hannah card to show you but my camera wouldn't cooperate in time for
this hop so It will make a debut hopefully this afternoon so stop back by!
