Curtain Call: Happy 4th of July

Happy July 1st.  The summer is zooming on by!  Before we know it, it will be back to school time for the kids.  Since it's the first of the month, it's time for a new challenge over at Curtain Call:  Cherry Bomb. Such a fun inspiration photo. I was inspired by the red, white and bloom, the splashes (translated into stars) and the yummy sugar (translated this to a strip of glitter).  I hope you are inspired too and come play along with us!

Happy 4th of July!

Summer already seems to be flying by!  Before we know it, July 4th will be here!  I was inspired by the star in the FUSION inspiration photo along with the stripes.  I decided to create a card by stamping inside the negative star image.  Off I went and had a happy July 4th card!  We'll be away for July 4th  with Pat's side of the family celebrating his parents 50th wedding anniversary!  Lots of family, games and overall good times for us to look forward to in a few weeks!

And here are a few pictures from our dinner out for my mum's birthday.  We had a very nice night out and went out for ice cream afterwards.  The older two and Collin were not in the mood to have their picture taken so Pat jumped right in!

July Fourth Parade

Happy Sunday to you!  I thought I'd pop in and share a few pictures from the July 4th parade!  It is our annual tradition to go to the parade in Montgomery with his side of the family and all the cousins.  We were short a few cousins this year, but the kids had a great time despite all the over 100% temps!  They are all smiles as the got candy for their bags...and the best part was the prade participates that were passing our ice pops!  Definitely ate those fast! And we had our sweet neighbors Elle and Will come too!  Definitely a great way to start the fourth!  PS  I did have a good laugh that Marcel choose his Team GB Olympics shirt to wear to the July 4th parade...has to show his heritage :)!

I also wanted to share a card for this week's Tuesday Trigger.  When I think of poppies, I always think of my nana.  She loves poppies and has painted a ton of gorgeous oil paintings over the years. A simple masked card using PTI Botanical Silhouettes.  I haven't used this set in too long!  Thanks for a great inspiration photo Cath!
