RED WHITE & BLUE

Hi everybody!!!  Thank you for stopping by.  If you like what you see and you could leave some love with a few comments it would be gratefully appreciated.

Nothing says summer like the 4th of JuIy!!!! I made this card in Red, White & Blue in honor of celebrating our countries Independence on the 4th of July in the United States of America.  

As you know, I LOVE cupcakes, so I could not resist using the "Sugar n' Spice Marci" stamp. I colored her with colored pencils. Can you see her itty bittie teenie weenie pearl earrings? They may not show so well in this photo, but they look simply gorgeous on Marci!

How did you celebrate the 4th?  Our family always gets together for a feast, which of course includes BBQ, and our own fireworks show!!!  The whole subdivision would come out to watch our fireworks.  This year I was not able to be with my family due to health issues, but they brought lots of food back for me!  Now, wasn't that sweet of them to be so thoughtful?! 

I hope you have been inspired!  Be sure to leave me a comment, if you can.  Comments are always loved and appreciated!

Debra this is ADORABLE!!!! Your coloring is fantastic and I've had the best time perusing your blog. Just wanted to stop in and say thank you so much for the wonderful comments you've left me on my blog. I had NO idea they were there as I check them all through gmail and today I checked SPAM and yours were in there. :( You along with about 30 other people...eeek! SOOO, sorry for such a long delay in responding...LOL..I had no idea.
Anyway, thank you again for all your lovely words of encouragment. They meant the world to me.
Have a great one!
Hugs,
