Time to be Thankful

I am addicted to the House Mouse and Friends challenge blog, the challenges are every two weeks, the first and third Monday of the month and you will find the current challenge HERE. Two week challenges are great because they give me more time to create.
The Canadian Thanksgiving is over but the American one is coming up soon, on this 11/11/11 Remembrance day we have a lot to be thankful for. I read a post on Facebook that read “Superheros don’t wear capes, they wear dog tags” how true that is. We need to be thankful for the men and women that are fighting to keep the peace.  Here is my card for the “thankful” challenge.
                           To Thank You
This is one of my favourite, sort of CAS sketch, it’s about as CAS as you will find from me. The stamp I used is Taking Notes. The colours are Cherry Cobbler and GP White. I coloured with Prismas and oms.
I am also entering this in the Crop Stop Challenge to show my flag's colours, being Canadian ours is red and white. 
Thanks for stopping by today and think about what you are thankful for.
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
