American Heart

Photobucket


This week I get to be a guest Bar-tender at Raise the Bar. The challenge is to base a project on the colors of your flag. With Independence Day right around the corner, I wanted my red, white and blue project to be patriotic.
.


I love the distressed feel to this card. Isn't this sentiment from Tlc Creations wonderful?
