God Bless The USA!



These pictures are of my Dad when he was in the Korean War. I carried the one on the bottom right around forever..it's a bit tattered and torn, but still one of my favorite pictures of him.
I made the stars using my Cricut Expression and Plantin Schoolbook Cart. I painted them with Tim Holtz's Distress Crackel Paint in Vintage Photo. I saw a tutorial over on Scrapbook & Cards Today to make these..They were so easy!This was for a challenge over at CTS. I distressed the sides using a wet q-tip and my big scissors,then inked them with my distress ink.
The sketch & color combination is for a challenge over at The Color Room.

Thanks for looking!
