4th of july



I made this card for a co-worker of mine. She recently lost a friend in the Iraq war. Here is the article in the newspaper:

Very sad. He was only 30 years old, married and had three young children.

I am sending this sympathy card to my co-worker Suzanne and Her Husband Chris.

This card is also for the Midnight Madness challenge found here... so cool: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/

  1. That is a sad story! I am so sorry about your friend's loss! We have so many brave men and women that risk their lives every day to fight for our freedom and protect our country. I have such tremendous gratitude, respect and admiration for all of them and their loving and supportive families. My prayers are with them each and every day!! Your card is such a beautiful reminder that we should value and appreciate our gift of freedom!

  6. Sorry to hear such sad news...Your card is so beautiful..I had to take a double take, because when I first looked at it, it looked life size... with your background I thought it was huge. It is just wonderful and you worked the sketch fantasticly. Thank you so much for playing with us :)
