Lest We Forget - SPA

Happy 4th of July for those of you in the USA!

And  Happy 4th of July to every one else...you just may not have the fireworks...LOL!

This is my creation for Sunday Postcard Art.  The pictures on this postcard are photos of my maternal Grandfather who fought in World War I, and my paternal Uncles who fought in World War II (one died during that war) and also fought in the Korean conflict.  I am VERY proud of them.  They answered a call that today, most people do not understand.  Military service is now a pathway to a government paid education.  Little thought is given to the sacrifice necessary to live a military lifestyle and the call to serve the country.  

For those who choose that life and path of service, you have my undying gratitude.  

Thank you.

Sunday Postcard Art - Butterflies

Woo-Hoo!  I finally sat down and got a web challenge done!  This one is for Sunday Postcard Art - Butterflies.  I also had a personal challenge to use some of the elements that I have been collecting around the web.  I used Photoshop Elements 6 to do a digital creation.  Although I really do have to get back to getting my hands dirty! 

I have used papers from Retro Diva - Birds of a Feather.  The butterflies are from DD Elements. Both were downloaded from the DigiFree.com web site which finds those wonderful places that are offering free digital scrapbooking elements and makes them available to the rest of us. (With the maker's permission of course!)

I have also used elements from Nicole Young (Angel Whispers, Storybook Dreams), Lauren Bavin (Antiquing Pack), and Tina Chambers (Oscar Wilde word art) all from Digital Scrapbooking Place.
