4th July Card

Belated Happy 4th of July weekend. 4th of July hubby (he is the grill master and the T bone steaks were awesome, he also made sweet potato casserole), daughter (she came over and had made a wonderful fruit cobbler), 

2 dogs (Daisy Rey & Holly Blossom enjoyed their pieces of steak I gave them, we do not give them bones, they also enjoyed the homemade treats I made using peanut butter & pumpkin) 

and I (I made the pasta salad & biscuits and washed all the dishes) celebrated at home. Weather was perfect; sunny & clear skies. Today, day after weather has been raining off & on with thunder & lighting.

We watched Hamilton on Disney channel and it is awesome. I found the words online so I can look at to understand more. We have enjoyed the Disney channel since subscribing in Jun. Watched the Mandolorian Star Wars episodes (watched all 8, did not binge, looking fwd to season 2 that is suppose to be in Oct) exclusive to the Disney channel. I'm fond of Child Yoda and was very fond of Yoda in the regular Star Wars.

Made this Patriotic card by combining several things. See below for details.

Adventure Awaits Card

When I was younger and was a Girl Scout I went camping and we slept in tents. When my daughter was younger she went to Sky Ranch camp every yr and when she got old enough she went once to the 2 day trip (1 day in OK, 1 day in CO). They hiked up a mountain and slept in sleeping bags under the stars.

Hot Air Balloon Shaker Card

Have enjoyed seeing & photographing Hot Air Balloons for quite awhile. Plano, which is in N TX, holds an annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. The Festival is cancelled for this year due to Covid. Once we went to evening event that is called 'The Glow' where the Hot Air Balloons are tethered in place and lit up but do not take off. Made this card with 'The Glow' in mind (the beads inside for shaker style are to resemble the balloon glowing)

Used Lawn Fawn LF Hot Air Balloon dies both small & large to make the layers & shaker pieces. Colored with Copics which I recently bought (50% off at Michaels) and am practicing with them.

The card is photographed with a Hot Air Balloon craft item bought at one of the Festivals. When daughter was younger I used butterfly clips in her hair and when she grew up the clips became decoration on the basket.

cardstock/paper: Kraft, white
   pattern paper multi-color Chevron pattern, stars

ink: black

Lawn Fawn: stamp/die - Blue Skies
