This layout was inspired by a weekly challenge in the Library of Memories Community workshop at BPC. Stacy Julian challenged us to write down five things we love about our country, and I decided to create a layout using up some older patriotic supplies from my stash.
I flipped through my storage binders and found this photo that was taken a couple of years ago when we visited a nearby park's display of Christmas lights.
1. Freedom to worship God & share my beliefs.
2. Freedom to travel from state to state & enjoy the beauty & diversity of this land.
3. Freedom to make my dreams come true.
4. Freedom to vote.
5. Freedom to scrap all day long without persecution.
I have a new thing I love about the USA after traveling abroad.... great fabric stores! We are so spoiled. And you Melissa, you're a great thing about the USA too!

ReplyDeleteYour page is wonderful and your list made me smile. I need to make a page like this for my mom. She wasn't born in the USA but she is the most patriotic person I know. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteNice layout! I really like all the layers you used, and the patriotic feeling I got when I saw the layout.
