Here in the US we are gearing up for a long holiday weekend that for many hails as the official start of Summer. Most Americans are thrilled to have a day off from work/school on Monday to celebrate (maybe with a trip to the beach or with a cookout?!) but that really isn't all that this holiday is about. Our freedoms are definitely worth celebrating, but I hope you'll take the time to remember those whose lives were lost to secure and protect those freedoms. Since we are a (now retired) military family, certain names and faces come to mind as we remember...and we will never forget.
And so today I am here with a very simple, clean and graphic Memorial Day card. I used just a handful of supplies and let that shiny gold foil card stock speak for itself! The gold peeks through the negative space of the striped designer paper, and the positive shapes decorate the inside.
