Go Boldly!

This week’s challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays – to create a Clean And Simple project featuring banners or flags – has been a particularly fun one. I created one card right away, but my mind wouldn’t stop thinking of possibilities.

The death of astronaut Neil Armstrong inspired me to create a card related to the landing on the moon. The late sixties and early seventies were such an exciting time in our country. My brother and I were obsessed with the space program. In fact, he went on to major in aerospace engineering. We ate space food sticks, in school we read Weekly Reader articles about the space program, and we were glued to the television any time something related to the space program aired.

My card for the challenge uses a banner for the sentiment and a US flag.

  1. This is awesome, Jean! I love the bright colours and overall design. (And I wanted to let you know that your Blogger comment profile shows Neat and Tangled as your website but that’s not the case. I’m glad I finally found you!)

  2. I like the texture of the moon too and how you used a circle as if we get to peek at Neil from the spaceship.
