FOSTV CHALLENGE 26 - 4th of July

Hello all!!!  The FOSTV Challenge for this week is 4th of July!  In the last few years I have come to dread this particular holiday!  For us it means that summer holidays are more then half over. Sigh....and depression sets in!!!  LOL.  Just thinking about it as I type up my blog makes me a little ill!!!  :-) 

I have never made a 4th of July card so my mind was buzzing with ideas.  I ended up going a very simple route.  My daughter does not approve....she says it's boring!  LOL  Tell me what you think!!!  I used this wonderful 4 letter sentiment "FREE" from Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. Wild Horses

 I hope you have a safe and happy 4th next week and I will do my best not to think about the return of school but revel in my last few weeks of family FREEdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. Oh, I love the big star and all the white space. Your daughter would think I'm boring, too. HAHAHHA
    I was just thinking yesterday how it seems when the July 4th holiday comes, it does kind of mean summer is heading downhill. But, I do love that holiday....my second favorite, with Christmas being #1. I'm sure we'll have plenty of hot weather left for a few months. It was 102 degrees in my area of AL yesterday. Yikes!
