OWH sketch 90 - Thank you, hero
This is a gorgeous CAS sketch for this week! Have you seen it here?? My uncle - my elderly uncle, a Navy WWII veteran - is flying to Washington D.C. this week with our area's Never Forgotten Honor Flight. They send veterans to Washington D.C. all expenses paid to see their war memorials. I'm cutting it close to the deadline, but I am positive this card will get to the offices before they leave so they can give it to him in D.C. The trip is not the surprise, but letters and cards from family are friends are. Cool, huh?
Paper: K&CO Americana stack
Stamps: Unity Stamp Co

There is a blue layer under the dp that is stamped with a burlap background. You don't really notice it in the picture but I think it looks cool in real life. LOL The inside just says "thank you, hero."
Thanks for looking! I think I can use this sketch to make many more cards!! :) Play along with us!

I smell a CASE coming on since I have those papers. How wonderful that your uncle will get to go see his monument in D.C. Having taken my grandfather 7 years ago, I can tell you it's quite an experience for a veteran!
ReplyDeleteJen... I would love to send a card to your uncle if that's okay. Your card is awesome and I'm sure he'll love it. I took my kids on a trip to D.C. a couple of weeks before we moved from North Carolina.. we had a great time. Lots of walking, but nobody complained at all. blessings ~ Pam
ReplyDeleteHe will love it, I have a friend who is going as a guardian for her dad. Great card! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteJen, I am so happy for you, your uncle and the rest of your family. What a wonderful thing that he gets to see the memorial. Terrific card and it speaks for itself. Thanks for sharing and please relay a message to your uncle: Thank you for your service. We truly love and appreciate what you did for your country.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, what a striking CAS card for your hero uncle and any hero! Is your uncle going to the Navy Memorial here in DC or the WWII? Both beautiful. I hope he enjoys it!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Jen! That is so fantastic that your uncle will get to see the memorial and I'm sure this card will mean so much to him. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great hero card for your uncle, or for any hero for that matter! You must be quite proud of him as we're all proud of our veterans!
ReplyDeleteI really like your card. I think you uncle will be so proud to have your card. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post Jen! I love patriotic themes and this is a beauty but especially so because of it's very special purpose. :)
