I love the Fourth of July. I'm a history buff, so the significance of the day itself is important. Everything is red, white and blue! But I also like a good reason to spend the day with the family doing something fun.
I didn't have a lot of 4th of July photos printed, but I did have this one. It's from a few years ago, and the coldest 4th I can remember. We wore long sleeves all day. It was cloudy. We weren't sure we'd be able to see the fireworks. It's a good thing there were Sparklers and Screamers!
I used a sketch by Lain Ehmann and kept it fairly simple. I do have to say though, that I'm really enjoying making pinwheels lately. They were the right accent for this page. I fussy cut the small ones on the banner from the PP and made the larger ones. I used red buttons to pick up the the red "4th" (which I made from a sheet of Thickers numbers).
Supplies: PP-Best Creation and MME, Twine-Doodlebug, alpha letters/numbers-Thickers, Cosmo Cricket, Melissa Frances, random buttons.
Thank you for stopping by. Hope you enjoy a fulfilled and safe Independence Day! Please head on over to Mandi's blog from here.
