Happy Fourth of July!

Parades,  concerts, cookouts, pool parties, fireworks... people and pets decked out in their red, white, and blue... celebrating America's independence

If you have seen the July/August issue of Papercrafts, then you know the inspiration for these cards is on the cover and on page 20 with the sketch by Betsy Veldman and the cards by AJ Otto and Terri Anderson.
And this last card came about simply because  I felt I needed to use my Cricut  more often. And you know how I love A Child's Year cartridge. :)

For those of you in the states have a safe and happy Fourth! And for the rest  have a safe happy Monday!
