Happy 4th of July, USA!


Hi crafty friends!

Here in the USA, it's Independence Day!
The kids are enjoying our gorgeous sunshine and the pool,
the hubby is getting the grill ready and prepping the buffet he has planned,
and I'm back and forth and back and forth cleaning and cooking ♥

And I also got into a scrap!



Not that kind of scrap!
Just my scrap PILE!

There's a new challenge at the CCEE Stampers this week:
Freedom Week!



Vicki is our hostess for the month of July 
and she's starting us off with this theme:
Hi, Vicky here . . . it is my turn to play hostess for the month of July.
Since both Australia and the USA have red, white and blue for their colors,
 let's use those colors to make a card. 
  It does not have to be for a holiday, just red, white and blue....
but, of course, if you send out patriotic cards, go for it!
Thanks, Vicki! 
I used paper left over in the scrap pile and ran it through my die cutting machine
using a Pretty Pink Posh die to get the stripes.
The square is another die from Spellbinders
and the outside frames are from My Favorite Things. 
The sentiment is from the Moose and friends stamps from Hello Bluebird ~
it was fun to find it hidden among the celebratory sentiments 
and ended up being just perfect! 




You can link up your cards celebrating
Freedom Week

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a safe, wonderful holiday!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
