Happy Fourth of July


Hi Ya'll! Just wanted to wish everyone Happy 4th of July, and to share this card with you. The inspiration for this card came from an old t-shirt that I have that I wear every year to our blowout on the Alabama River.Alot of us get together with our boats and park at a sandbar and celebrate the 4th. Everyone brings a different dish, and we pig out, and swim, and just have a good time. Sometimes we all ride downriver to watch the annual fireworks show from the water. Anyway, I decided to make this card before the ole' t-shirt gives it up. I used Country Life for the posts, Sweethearts for the towel, Life's A Beach for the bikini and trunks, and an MS punch for the grass. The embossing was done with a Sizzix texture plate, and I added some bakers twine for the clothesline. The inside says "Proud to be an American". Thanks for taking a peek, and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Really represents summer on the lake on the 4th. Too stinkin' Cute. With this sweltering heat the lake and in a boat is the only place to be....
