Happy summer everyone. I have a super quick card for this month's Waltzingmouse Blog Party, where the theme is Summertime Fun. One of my very favorite things to do in the summer is see the fireworks on July 4th. We always go to La Costa for their Independence Day party. Great food, awesome fireworks and music, and nothing to prepare or clean up. This year, my oldest will be away at a writing program on July 4th, so I will send her this card.
I used the new 1776 set for this card--it was so quick and easy to pull together a card using this set. I look forward to playing with it some more. For an Irish Lass, Claire sure captured everything anyone would need in this set. I was sunk the moment I saw the Statue of Liberty stamp.
Enjoy the rest of the party. I am looking forward to seeing everyone else's idea of summer fun.
Thanks for Visiting
