Red, White, & Blue and Priest Idol too

As it is Independence day in America tomorrow, Hambo Stamps have chosen a red, white and blue color challenge in this week Hambo Hoedown. I have used the very cute Bailey Liberty digi image, the much loved and very versatile Skyline rubber stamp, and the cloud rubber stamp for my 4th of July card. I only know one American personally, Father James McCaskill, he came to our village about 6 years ago to be priest at the local church, the BBC made a documentary of him, it was called Priest Idol, he is a wonderful and inspiring priest, he has moved back to pittsburgh now, I miss him. does anyone reading this know who I mean? I have added a photo of my baptism day with Father James.

  2. Your cards are so brilliant Jane! I absolutely LOVE this!! I need to make use of my city skyscraper stamp... I don't think I could do as much justice as you have! :) you look so lovely in that picture with Father James and unfortunately, I do not know him. We absolutely adored the priest we had who presided over my boys baptism and our renewing of the vows and he too had moved away. So I understand!

  8. Can I say that you are soooo awesome! I saw that skyline and thought it was cute but wasn't sure how I would use it; however, you have used it tons of times and it always looks perfect! Today is no exception - perfect with Bailey Liberty and for the 4th. Love this card including that great star!
