 Hope you are enjoying celebrating the Independence of the United States of America! What are you doing today? A cookout with family and friends? Watching a fireworks display? Share your traditions. When I was growing up, we had a cookout at a park with family and friends. My favorite parts were swimming and going to the fireworks with my Dad. He loved getting up close so we could see the ground displays of flags and fountains. We could fee the booms shake the ground under us. Dad worked so much of the time - this was our vacation. Now that he is past on, it is a tradition that my husband and I keep. Going to see the fireworks! Wendell & I have been to two parties and are heading to the Little Rock Fireworks tonight. Supplies for card: My Digital Studio DIGITAL STAMPS: Dad's Day - Stars & Stripes Extreme Elements - Stars So Happy for You - Shooting Star INK & PAPER COLORS: Real Red Night of Navy Whisper White Brillant Blue ACCESORIES: Real Red Button and Grosgrain Ribbon Night of Navy Grosgrain Ribbon White Stitching Circle Punch, in Brillant blue behind button Lots of Tags Shape 3 matted & drop shadowed The message was typed with text function.
