Thank a Hero

So I had to go to the oral surgan today to determine if I needed my wisdom teeth pulled. The answer was yes :( I knew this was coming as I've still got all 4 of them and I have known for years that I don't really have the space in my mouth for them. I am so not looking forward to this. On the plus side I only have to wait until next Friday. That however wasnt the only news he had to give me. I've also got to see a gum doc as I have a spot in front of three teeth where the gums are going away. This is the part that I am even more worried about as I don't know any one that has had this. What did I do over summer vacation...I got oral surgery.

Enough about my issues. I've got another CAS card today, and yes, it is patriotic. I used some small tags I've had for years for my sentiments and then cut strips of red dp and white c/s. I embossed the white c/s with a Cuttlebug star folder to give it some texture and add to the stars and stripes look. I also distressed the edges on the white c/s so that it could stand out along the white base. The strips of paper were put on the base using foam dots as this allowed for me to get the ribbon to go underneath them easier. I tried to get a look that was at least representative of our flag. I've also got some blog candy news from Melissa over at Creating from the Heart as she's got an amazing one going, so be sure to share some love.
