Good Monday morning on this Memorial Day - a day we set aside to remember and give honor and tribute to those who gave all in their service to our country, allowing us to live this free and wonderful life in the USA that sadly, we so often take for granted. Freedom is NOT free. It has been paid for by so many. And as I am now getting up in years, I am taking it upon myself to educate our grandchildren as to the history of our country and WHY we can live as we do, teaching them to pay tribute to all who so bravely went before them. They are still quite young, but never too young to learn!

And now on to a lovely project from Karen Letchworth. She created a small folio (all the rage these days!) to Celebrate America! And we have a HUGE CELEBRATION coming up this year!
Karen started with a sheet of 6 x 8" designer paper, scored to fold in 1/2, then flipped up about 2.5" to form pockets on the inside, cutting the inner fold of the pocket at an angle on the inside (seen better in photo below).
She added a nice variety of patriotic themed items both on the front and tucked into the inside.
The American Eagle (eagle, larger star, sentiment)
Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)
Stars Five (smaller stars) - 50% OFF!
Crochet (lace die) - 50% OFF!
Stars & Stripes Forever (patriotic designer paper)
And here the folio is opened up.
See what I mean about cutting the inside pockets at an angle!
Patriotic Background (image on tag)
Old Glory (USA map and sentiment)
Blessings/Beatitudes Set 1 (blessings sentiment)
And here you can see Karen even tucked a coffee gift card inside the right pocket.
Super fun! Thanks so much, Karen.
