Big Thank You & Happy Memorial Day

With heartfelt thanks to my fairy godmother / late night IT tech support UK / Dear Sweet Friend Di of Pixie’s Crafty Workshop http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.com/ I embark on a new adventure. As I am computer illiterate Di has graciously set up this blog for me. She assures me I can’t brake it and it wont bite me so here I go in to blogland.

I hope you will join me in my tiny closet and share my joy for creating handcrafted cards.

 

This weekend as you gather with family and friends to celebrate the beginning of summer with BBQs and dips in the pool or take advantage of the many sales; I hope you will take a moment to remember the reason for the holiday. Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice that we may enjoy our many freedoms.





I printed the sentiment using Word.   I embossed white card stock in a Stars EF in my lovely new Cuttlebug then sprayed with Sheer Shimmer Spritz Sparkle.  Camera not picking up the sparkle I then cut out the stars with my craft knife.  This looks better irl, working on my lighting.

“Cheap Trick” I saved the negative to use as a stencil on the inside.

Have an Amazing Day

  1. Firstly Bernie, you made me cry with your sweet comments. Then, I blew my nose and read the rest of your posting properly - it's gorgeous! Your card is just so right and clever use of EB folder to make the stars. Congratulations on taking the leap into blogland! Hugs Di xx (Late Night IT Support UK).
