F4A71 – Celebrating July – 07/01/11

And nooooo …. I’m not talking about the 4th of July (although that IS a cool July holiday, as is Canada Day).

Actually, I found the most FUNNEST link for inspiration for this challenge. Check it out:

Fun & Funky July Holidays

Using that link to jumpstart you … make a card that is an “Ode to July” by highlighting one of the holidays listed (and man-oh-man are there some DOOSIES!! … I’m thinking we should forego “National Nude Day” since this IS a “G”-rated website ... it COULD prove to make some interesting punch-art cards, though ... hmmm ... that could be kinda FUNNY!!)! Have fun with this … there are a LOT of holidays to use as inspiration. And although you COULD create one for Independence Day, that’s TOO easy!!! I’m sure you’ll find something equally as inspiring on the list …

Here are my samples:

Happy Cow Day!!

Ice Cream Sweet

And here is one that my BFF, Kathy (jostvig) made:

I Frogot Birthday
