Blogger's challenge- Patriotic

It seems like it was just Friday yesterday, lol.  I have still not even finished visiting the whole list of players from last week and it is time for another challenge.  This week Lisa wanted us to make a patriotic card-appropriate to this time of year.  I have been struggling with my MoJo as of late and do not like this but do not really have time to re-do it so it is what it is.  Be sure to click on the blogger's challenge logo on the top right hand corner of my blog to visit all the players.  I KNOW their cards will rock as they always do!  I am tired and can't wait to hit the pillow. 

Stamps: Service and Sacrifice
Paper: Night of Navy, Pacific Point (love that this color is back) Real Red and Whisper White.
Ink: Pacific Point and Real Red
Other: star punch, white gel pen, markers, tool kit

Hope you have a wonderful Friday--TGIF!!!!

    Love the card. Hope you are able to find some inspiration (and maybe energy too) as you relax this holiday weekend.

    Love the "waves" of red, white, blue and the faux stitching. Great patriotic card!

    I think this is a wonderful card. It perfectly fits the sentiment. Hopefully it'll look better to you in the morning.

    Very Nice MaryJo, I like how you did the background paper like waves of a flag. Sometimes we are just to hard on ourselves, I struggled this week with my card for the DT that I'm on.
    Happy 4th!

    We are our worst critics- I think you did a great job on the challenge- love the white gel pen accents and the star cut-out. Hope you have a fun and safe 4th!
