Stars & Stripes

Patriotic.0716Happy 4th of July!  I love everything 4th of July.  Stars & stripes, red, white and blue, picnics….I like it!  We don’t usually have big plans on the fourth but I still enjoy it.

What are your big plans for day?

When I saw this card I knew I had to CASE it.  I’m just glad I had the time to whip it up the other day so I could share it with you.

I LOVE the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits!  They are so much fun!  I can’t seem to get enough of them.  I’m just glad I’m home the entire month of July so that I can play with them!

I’ve seen a number of cards similar to this one on Pinterest.  I really like how the blue follows the curve of the red stripes.  I did have to use a retired punch for the stars but that’s why I don’t get rid of anything.  I have two drawers of retired punches….ones I just couldn’t get rid of because I might want to use them someday.  I really need to get over this mindset although it did come in handy in this situation!  🙂

Have a great day and God Bless America!
