Here is my card for this week's Crafty Secrets challenge found over at their forum. PammyJo is our hostess for July and her challenge to us this weeks is: Celebrate the 4th of July!
I've used an image out of the Crafty Secrets "summertime" booklet and modified it by adding some fireworks. The fireworks stamp is by Great Impressions. The stars were made using a Creative Memories punch then popped up with dimensionals and stickled centers for that little "sparkle".
As a young girl, our family reunion was always held on the 4th of July weekend and family came in from all over to join in on the festivities. Besides eating a HUGE array of food, we would play baseball, have sack races, volleyball, then as it got darker - hide & seek! Great memories and ALWAYS said a heart-warming prayer of thanks for having our freedom to be able to have this fun time every year! God Bless America!!!
