If you are living in the States, you will be celebrating our country's independence. My birthday is on the 2nd, so I plan a 3 day celebration that goes right into July 4th. When I was a kid I always told people I was born on the 4th. I wanted to be a little firecracker. Well all I can say I may not have been born on the 4th but I am still a firecracker!!
I took this weekend off from all things school and decided to do what ever I wanted which is stamping!! My hubby and bestie both got me lots of new stamping stuff including all of the Altenew inks, which are fabulous. For my card today I used Altenew's ruby red and sapphire inks.
It has been a month since I last blogged!!! Yikes, where does the time go?!!? I decided to check out some of my fav challenges to inspire me. Several were hosting red, white and blue challenges and since it is the 4th, I decide to join in with a patriotic card.
I am entering this card at CAS-ual Friday and Curtain Call for their red, white and blue challenges.
CASology's theme is the word "row". I went rather expected with my card. No surprises.
A new challenge for me is Cards in Envy. They want cards that can be sent through the mail!! Love that idea. Today's challenge is "stripes"
Sometimes the most simple card takes awhile, today's card was no exception. Getting the rows of stripes straight and not smudged and then adding the stars evenly. It took 4 tries.
So check back again this week, I hope to share other cards I have been working on over this holiday weekend.

What a wonderful patriotic card! Great take on the inspiration photo!
Absolutely perfect in every way. I am always so drawn to patriotic cards. I think all the years in OWH and both my father and son are servicemen so I just love them. The design is just perfect and so grateful that you entered with us at Cards in Envy for our Stripes challenge - This design could be used in other colors too - YEAH.
