Thank You for Our Freedom!  Simon Says Wednesday Challenge and Crafter's Anonymous Challenge #19 For All You Do, Thank You

This card may not fit the challenges but to me it epitomizes the true meaning of thank you to someone who has done something meaningful for you.  Our service men and women have given so much even their lives for my freedom!  I can make crafts and cards only because I live in freedom and freedom cannot be taken for granted nor the people who I count on to protect that freedom.  I am truly thankful and should always be thinking of them but as we all do it takes a holiday to sometimes bring things to the fore front of our minds; however they are always in my prayers.  So today I challenge each person who reads this post or looks at this card to take a moment to remember and thank those who have gone before us and those serving our country now.  
The deets are very few on this card.  The flag and sentiment came from a wonderful lady's blog (got to start writing these down...the memory is terrible thought I had this one down!) she posted it as a color sheet with a place for student's to sign their name...how wonderful!!  I used the cricket for the sentiment "thinking of you" and stamped the same in black on the bottom border.  I used the same stamp on the red and white part of the background and stamped randomly with blue ink.  The coloring is with Promarkers and I put a little striped punched heart on the flag.  Some gold gel pen doodling along the edges and heart in the sentiment and some glitter glue on  the stars was all there was to it!  

Happy Crafting!

I am entering this in the following challenges:

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
