Tattered Flag Monday Paper Maniac Inspirations

Good morning! Today's Paper Maniac Inspiration theme of the week is patriotic and I thought that I'd make this shabby chic patriotic card for my assignment. I'll admit that it's a bit different, then again, so am I. I used an older and retired Stampin' Up! set on this card and let my paper and dry embossing folders do the rest of the work for me. I did a lot of distressing and tearing on this card and then machine stitched it together. I felt like Betsy Ross! Be sure to stop by the Paper Maniac Store for more Summer Spectacular Savings and new products! The sales and specials that Patti has been having all summer long are amazing with great products at great prices that you don't want to miss out on. I'll see you next Monday with more Paper Maniac Inspiration and a new theme of the week that is going to be a real challenge for me – and I do mean a real challenge – and I've been dreading it for weeks, but now it's time to face the music. Sigh. I have no clue what I'm going to do or how I'm going to pull this one off! Keep on reading below for our store specials and a tutorial by Bonnie Rose!

I pray that you have a very blessed day and thank you for stopping by to see me. I always appreciate you and your support. Today's Treasure: Ezekiel 28:24-26. Continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel as a nation.
