It's a Red White and Blue Birthday!

Happy Birthday America! I can't begin to put into words what being able to say that means to me. I had to start a blog just so I could participate in all the fun goings on at OWH. This is an organization that I believe in with all my heart. For the past month I've been on a campaign making blank Any Hero Cards. My DH's brother and his wife and my DH and I host an "Around about the 4th of July" Shrimp Boil each summer. We invite their family(13 brothers and sisters with spouses, 26 nieces and nephews with spouses and children, and friends). This year, I'm planning on making them write for their supper. Many of the brothers served in the Armed Forces, and we're all American to the bone. I'm going to get them to write a note in the blank cards so that I can send Dixie a huge box of Any Hero cards. I even have some cards I left the images uncolored for the children to have some fun and write a note too.

Here's my card for the Blog Tour. This is a Tiddly Inks image called Annie's Hat, as in tipping your hat, so this would make a great Any Hero card also. You'd just need a different sentiment. The challenge over at Tiddly Inks this week was to create a red, white and blue card, which went along perfectly with the OWH Blog Tour. What's more American than denim, gingham and bandana print and it's red, white and blue. The paper is from Paper Studio, and the buttons are from Walmart. I found the tied rope clip art on line and created the sentiment myself in Photoshop Elements. Those red and black cowboy boots bring back fond memories, as I actually owned and wore a pair when I was dating a wantabe cowboy another lifetime ago.

I'm posting two sentiments that I created that could be used with this image. For those that might like to have them. It's my small way of giving a little back. Just right click on the sentiment and then click on save as. Be sure to check back with the OWH Stars and Stamps Blog here for the start to the tour.

Thanks for stopping by and would love to here from you and be sure to come back tomorrow for another Red, White and Blue birthday card that I made for MonkeyMoo.
