A card for the Teapot recipient today. A Gold Star family that has had a terrible house fire. So many challenges they have had to deal with. I dug out some older patriotic stamps for this one- nothing like the eagle to signify toughness! Inside, I embossed the sentiment: Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
God Bless this family!

Oh Wow, Shelly, this is gorgeous! I LOVE the bg design, colors, script, everything. I agree -- the eagle is a great symbol for strength and endurance. Fabulous design and a fabulous card for this wonderful family.

I love how you did the background on your card, sooo cool, and especially with the blue striped twine wrapped around the top. And the embossed eagle is the perfect symbol for this Gold Star family.

Here I thought I was the only person in the world with that pledge stamp (haven't pulled mine out in AGES.) I like the "weathered" looking colors in your bg. They tell me this withstands both time & travesty. Just a wonderful card for our Tough People.
