We will remember them.

Hello all!

                           Friday has come around again which means it is time for another challenge with the Copics/alcohol markers DT at The Outlawz . As it is Remembrance Sunday / Veterans Day this coming Sunday, we are asking you to create something for that. I believe that there are alternative dates in some countries for this day of honouring the armed forces but this is the day that officially marks the end of World War I when hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" .

               In the UK, the poppy has become the symbol for this day and they are sold by The Royal British Legion, which is the UK's leading charity providing financial support to those who have served or who are currently serving in the British Armed Forces, and their dependants.

    Well, after that brief history lesson let me just remind you that for the month of November we are being sponsored by Mischelle Smith of That's Fabulous!. Mischelle's new site has lots of great digistamps and digipapers for your crafting pleasure!

                                                  And now for the card! I kept this one really simple - sometimes simplicity can really speak volumes. The main image is from Teddy Bo and I merged it with a freebie poppy image from Beccy's place .

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them

"For the Fallen", Laurence Binyon

Edited Nov 14th - for some reason there was some bad HTML in this post and the only way I could get rid of it was to remove all links - sorry, I understand if this means my entry is not valid in some of the challenges listed.
