The Red, White, & Blue---a Patriotic card

Hi friends!

A patriotic card...features Stampin Up's Work of Art stamp set with Real Red and Night of Navy ink. The bling was added by punching silver glimmer paper with the star from the punch pack.

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....
