Using some of Gina K’s Navy Teal and Navy Red Stars & Stripes (FREE digital paper from Gina K – found on Stamp TV under the “freebie” tab), I created my off centered rectangle, but rather than have a panel in front of my paper – hiding it, I wanted to show the paper so I created a white frame. From there I fashioned my firecracker using the same papers with a couple of pieces of ribbon wrapped around. The stars were stamped and cut then attached to some sparklie wire which I coiled by wrapping them around a skewer (I think I use more skewers in crafting than I do in the kitchen…lol)

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
