Thankful To Be An American!

Patriotic themes in crafting range from sobering reminders about the high cost of our freedoms to the the fun and playful side of just rejoicing in the blessing of our country.   I'm proud of being an American, and I thank God that we are still under His sovereign hand whether or not the majority of the country realizes that fact.  I've created several new patriotic sets to be used any time you want to showcase the red, white and blue.

Sentiments sets come in both black and colors files.  These sets are available in two stores, Imagine That! releasing them TODAY-- June 22, and on McMahon 5 Designs on Friday, June 28.

Here are some samples first. I'm showing the card face first then the inside of that card.

Here's a look at the complete set.  There are four inside sentiments (although they could certainly be used on the outside of your card), and 7 additional sentiments...total 11 sentiments.  Remember too, you can cut and past to separate or combine.  (Set contains color AND black and white, so you can recolor your own).

The sentiments above coordinate with these gorgeous Americana papers created by Kris Breach, sold here.

Now for the playful side of my patriotism.  Here's coordinating image and sentiment sets, Playfully Patriotic.  But my card sample first!

Here I used Poppy Parade cardstock to showcase this little guy from the Patriotic Playfulness Color set.  The background paper is from Kris's Americana set shown above.  And, by the way, I'm entering this card in the Word Art Wednesday challenge.  I didn't use the free graphic you can get there, but I'm slowly trying to get back into a few challenges and that one is always so fun.  Hope you'll check them out.

These are available in a color set, or outline image set, so you can color your own.
