Make It Monday Flagged Borders

 by Dawn


Same card just different picture!
I seem to be making a lot of red,white and blue!


Quick post for PapertreyInk MIM!   
My intent was to make this card for Operation Write Home. Without thinking  I realized the paper that has glitter on it! Glitter of any kind may NOT be used.  If a bit on glitter gets on the clothing it could show up on night vision and be very dangerous!

 I have two sisters with their birthdays in July, so this will get used. 

We were asked to use banners. I added a few PTI stars in my banner. Everything is from Papertrey Ink, but the glitter paper.
Hope you have a great day!

    ( It's long past bedtime :-) I guess I'm enjoying myself too much surfing the world wide web and my husband is still working next to me. These late hours are like quality time for us, having 2 teenagers to raise during daytime, ha,ha)
