Oh my gosh! Those ornaments! I could spend the whole day looking through them! But this one caught my eye and inspired this birthday card for my nephew Ben in the Air Force. Yesterday, I got mail from The Wounded Warrior Project looking for money and this flag card was inside. Of course I saved it. And it's a good thing because it makes a perfect background for this awesome eagle stamp (thanks, Anne!). I decided to combine today's challenge with Thursday's kraft challenge that I missed and I'm glad that I did because I think the eagle looks really cool on kraft. I colored him with colored pencils and added white Signa pen highlights. Naturally, I searched the internet for eagle jokes and came up with this one. The punchline is "Because freedom rings."

Jen, this is such a great card. Love the flag and glad you kept it. As you said, it is perfect for that wonderful eagle. I love the knock knock joke and what it says inside.

The eagle is the best one, isn't it? Love your fun joke and that fab card, mf. Dec. 5th is right around the corner!

Your upcycled piece really sets the scene for this patriotic card and I like the rustic look of the twine. Your nephew should love both the theme and the humor.
