Anything partiotic--4th of July, someone in the military, anything your heart desires! Have fun

In keeping with the book of me theme--this is my Dad. He served in WW11 in the Aleutian Islands.
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
This was a hard theme for me as I am not a flag-waving type patriotic person. First I thought of a joint Australia-USA card but then I decided to do a more global approach. I would rather be a citizen of the Earth and not of a particular country. Yesterday I looked for a photo of the Earth from space which got me thinking about the 40th anniversary of Man walking on the Moon this month. Then I realized it is TODAY! What a coincidence!
The quote by Carl Sagan really summed up my thoughts on political boundaries and our place in the universe so I put that over the photo. It's an all digital card.

Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Oops, I totally missed last week's! But I have an idea for this one - rather "out of the box" but still...
Love your appraoch, Marianne! And as you say, the space/moon/earth thing is very up-to-date as well. We had all this coverage on the first moon landing these last weeks...40 years ago, unbelievable!

I'm so far behind that I decided to use this for the Patriotic theme. Maybe I'll get caught up soon.
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Pam this patriotic card is by far my favorite
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Again, lovely cards by everybody! I'm struggling with this theme - you'll see why when I get my card done. I have an idea, vaguely...
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Since I just did this last week, I did not have the 4th of July spirit going on....a little drab, but the best I could do.

Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Great job everyone! I am so far behind on these, I printed out the list and have started working on them today! hope to show some soon!
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Nice cards, ladies. I'm afraid I cannot much relate to the "patriotic" stuff - but I can relate to Paula's idea here as we have floats for other occasions, like village fete carnivals. Nice one.
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Wow, Paula, what a great memory! What year was that? I can't see the year on the float. Tell us the story, please!
Re: Deck of Art: 4 of hearts Patriotic-due July 22
Oh my, I think it was the early 1980's by the age of the kids. It is just one of those funny stories that you can never say no! We were asked to help with a parade float for the 4th of July parade, and my DH (at the time ) ended up donating our garage to store and build the thing. Somewhere I have pictures of him constructing the thing. Oops, I found it, aren't you glad you asked Anyway, alot of fun memories!
