Celebrating Veterans Day!


Welcome back to Have colors, be happy blog.  In 48 hours we will know the outcome of the midterm elections.  Between you and me, I hope that Americans show the white house what they really think about congress and the backbiting.  I for one, am sick and tired of it.  Enough of my rant. 

Hi there crafties!  Today I am sharing a new project from Simply Crafty SVG'S.  You can find this amazing SVG right here:  4-Wheeling card svg file.  This would be a great card for Fathers Day or maybe a male birthday card.  The possibilities are endless.  That is exactly what I have done.

Here in Albany, OR, we have the BIGGEST Veterans Day Parade and Celebration this side of the Mississippi.  Here is a link to see some pics from previous years.  Albany Veterans Day Parade.  I have a dear sister of my heart who I am celebrating this Veterans Day.  So I have made this a military card.  She is Army and darned proud of it!  Here is what I came up with.

Here is my Army military vehicle.  I decided that my sister needed
to be a 5 star general.  Aren't the Uncle Sam hats great.  I used big
White sparkles for the head lights.  I was amazed that you can google
Army camo print and find sheets for scrapbooking.  
This is a side view.  I hope that you can see that the hood of
the military vehicle lifts up.

 I have printed a sentiment that I really hope my
sister knows how I feel.
The back of the card is totally white.  Here is where I will write a personal
note to sis.

I hope you have enjoyed my version of the vehicle.  Please remember to honor our Veterans and active service men and women.  My opinion, Bless them one and all.  We could be speaking German or Japanese.  My opinion only. 

I will see you after Thanksgiving with what i bet will be a Christmas themed something.  But for now, Bright Blessings, Happy Veterans Day and Happy Thanksgiving!
