Carla's Gift

Carla's gift was great fun to make. Part of this design is a Lizzie*Kate freebie, Liberty, that can be found here. I added "Sweet Land of", a fourth star and a blue stripe at the bottom of the design. Since red, white, and blue are Carla's favorite colors and the Fourth of July a favorite holiday, I thought this design would be perfect for her.

In her email I received yesterday, Carla wrote that her father was a Marine for 10 years, her husband had been in the Navy and was now a police officer. Many thanks to Carla's husband and dad for being two of the vast number of men and women who keep us free and in a Sweet Land of Liberty!

Carla wrote that she loved her gift and I can honestly say, it was a pleasure to make!
