Patriotic-themed Blog Hop




Hello friends!
I hope you are enjoying hopping around the world with our Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring projects that are patriotic to the country the demonstrator lives in. You may have arrived from Karie Beglau's blog. What a wonderful project!
My project will dress up any 4th of July picnic table. This is super easy project that can be pulled together quickly and will add some pizzazz to your dish!


For the red and blue I used new in-colors cardstock in Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick; silver glimmer paper adds the jazzy "white".

I used the large letter dies to cut the USA letters from the Lovely Lipstick cardstock and the Triple Banner punch to cut banner pieces. TIP: I punched 6 banners so I could cover the backsides of my banners; you could also decorate the backs and use them in a centerpiece dish.

use foam adhesive strips to quickly stick to the letters to the glimmer paper


What do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Blueberry Bushel cardstock (cs), 6 - 2 x 4"
Silver glimmer paper, 3 - 1.75 x 3"
Lovely Lipstick cs, 2.5 x 4"
Large Letters framelits
Triple Banner punch
foam adhesive
wooden skewers (bought at the dollar store; cut mine to 6.5")

Thanks for hopping with us. Now click on the next image to zoom to Elizabeth Green's blog to see the next fabulous project.


If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would be happy to add you to my weekly email update. Leave a comment asking me to contact you. Thanks!

Stamping is fun!

Celebrating the 4th of July

Hi friends!

Hope you had a happy and safe independence day--I did!

I went to the parade my community has held every year since 1974; there were 76 entries this year!

The weather was great and we had a great time waving to everyone who passed by. Everyone loves a parade!

It certainly makes me proud of our country and the many freedoms we enjoy....I thought I'd share a few photos to give you a small taste of this wonderful parade. Enjoy!
Independence Day Parade

The parade begins with the color guard and the grand marshall leading the way
Land of the free and home of the brave
The Grand Marshal Sue Norris, one of the founders of the parade in 1974

Our neighborhood was represented....


.....and entertained the crowd


Our neighborhood swim team participated--that's my daughter with the sign

there she goes


and the rest of the team close behind


and there they go!



a local church-affliated private school


a local fitness company--they pulled the truck along the parade route!!!
