God Bless America Card
Happy WOYWW to you, dear friends! What’s on my desk this week?
Building blocks.
Essentials.
Seemingly ordinary stuff.
On their own, every day things look like nothing special.
But – when you start to play around – when you start to add the pieces together – that’s when the magic happens!
What magic are you making out of the ordinary things in your life this week?
Here in the United States, we are celebrating our freedom and independence this week!
At Wordless Wednesday, the Fireworks have already begun! You’re invited to stop to join the festivities and to share a special photo with us – and to join us for Inspire Me Monday and Friendship Friday as well!
Have a wonderful week celebrating your freedom!

Very cute! Despite having lived in the USA for no more than 2 of her nearly 18 years, DD is amazingly excited about the 4th of July! She’s never experienced the whole fireworks, community picnic, firehouse Chili cook off that I remember as a kid, and yet she can’t wait for the day! I should make her a version of your card 🙂 She’d be over the moon….
Happy WOYWW!

Happy WOYWW
love your patriotic card and workspace. i agree that ordinary ingredients often make magic!
What a pretty patriotic card. You are right that the bits and pieces of every day stuff that make a card don’t look like much on their own. They sure do come together nicely and it is so fun to get to put them together! Judy #72
Love the card, have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x #48
Hi,

Love it!!! So often we always see the items that others use but never really give a lot of thought to little things such as shaped paper clips. I had just moved my white stars the other day and was thinking I should use those soon on something. Thanks for sharing and giving a little inspiration. Have a blessed Fourth!
Fantastic card, and a fabulous tribute to the USA, thank you for sharing with us at Imagination Crafts this month, best of luck xxx
Wonderful that you have shared your great artwork with us here at THE EAST WIND. Good luck hun and do come back again!

I love your July 4 card! A town in New Mexico hung up a banner for their July 4 celebration and instead of it saying God Bless America it just said Bless America. There’s been quite a lot of chatter about that. It’s unfortunate that people feel the need to remove God from our history.
Happy WOYWW
Peace, Kay (60)
Great card, very inventive and love the items that you have used, hope you have a great 4th of July day.

Aren’t those stars awesome?
Originally, I wanted to incorporate silver mesh into the card as layered backdrop (but couldn’t find it) –
Then I came across the stars –
Added the gems to them for a little extra pop –
Had a blast designing this! 🙂
Great card sweetie and so glad you could play along with us at Crafty Sentiments Designs this week !!
