Happy 4th of July!

This is a card I made from a sketch on Heather Scott's blog, Oz-somestamps.



The card uses the same American flag paper that I used in the Kindergarten graduation card. Truth be told, I made this card first, and then used the scraps to make the graduation card. This one was quick and easy to put together with the accent of the stars and oval left over from my gypsy cutting a while back ago.

Happy Anniversary

Tom and I have some friends that share our anniversary (today), albeit a few years later. Every year I try to make them a 4th of July themed anniversary card. This is the card I came up with this year.



The paper is Patriotic Burst from The Paper Studio coupled with stamped stars from Stampin' Up's old Stars and Swirls stamp set and a sentiment from The Angel Company's retired Greetings stamp set. I used a scrap of blue paper, punched with the Fiskar's Treading Water border punch with punched out red stars glued to each of the scallops.

Our friends are coming down from Milwaukee to have dinner with us at The House of Blues Foundation Room and should be en route now. Hopefully she hasn't looked at my blog on her smart phone during the ride down.

Happy 4th of July!

Well, I'm back from Seminar. We had a BLAST this year. I know I say that every time I go away with Angels, but this time it was something special. I'll try to post some pictures later, but before then, I thought I'd post a card I made this morning for a pair of friends who almost share their anniversary date with Tom and I. Tom and I were married on July 2nd, 1989. 20 years! I can't believe it myself. Lisa and Jeff were married on July 3rd, 3 years ago (and were kind enough to ask if we minded sharing our anniversary weekend with them). What could be better than more reasons to celebrate? We'll be seeing them at a party later this afternoon, so I thought I'd make a card that acknowledged both their anniversary and the Independence Day holiday.
