Today's isn't just any 4th of July!  Today is the 250th Birthday/Anniversary of the United States celebrating it's independence.  

Today also means my husband and I celebrate our 58th Wedding Anniversary.  I may have mentioned it before but in 1968, the 4th of July fell on a Thursday.  We took advantage of that extra time for a 10-day trip to travel West on our honeymoon.  We've been truly blessed and are so grateful to have each other after all of these years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE USA!

 

I was down to the last of the papers from this Echo Park 6 x 6 paper pad and didn't want to waste of the the scraps.  I was able to make one more like yesterday's card and seven of the design with the strips.  Waste not...want not.  Most of the cards were given to local people who are in a local care center and a few were mailed to friends.

This is all of the paper that is left:

One last card saved for tomorrow.  Thank you for coming by today!

 

Making a card like this with a variety of dsp patterns is sometimes a challenge but fun.

Last Spring I placed an order for some 6" x 6" paper pads from Echo Park.  The cards I will be posting for the next few days were all made from that pad.  I was able to make 26 cards in all from that pad.  There are multiples of some so I won't be showing all 26.  These cards will be posted through July 4th.

Thank you for coming by today!
