Happy 4th of July!

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is Independence Day in the United States. This happens to be one of my favorite units to teach in Social Studies...in 5th grade I do a BIG unit on the Revolutionary War and tie it all together, so the students will remember the important event in history. I have to say...I sure do enjoy summer break, but this week...I have missed being in the class teaching. Yes...I know...I actually said it! I actually have been slightly bored. Our BIG vacation that we have been planning for two years starts next week, so that should relieve the boredom feeling. I will share more about the trip later!  
   
I made a quick card today to help celebrate the 4th. Patriotic colors and stars. 

I used the following sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I really like this sketch, so I probably will be using it again.

I used 4 stars for the holiday, but chose a stamp (Whimsical Designs) that could be for birthday or other special occasion. The stars (and circle) were cut from the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday America!
Stay Creative,

  19. Oh Georgiana, I love this patriotic card!!! This is a great sketch and your take on it is awesome. I always missed school over the summer break too. My hubby would tell me "it must be nice to love your job that much". lol And yes it was! I loved being with the students and would have brought them home with me if I could have. lol Enjoy that vacation!!! Hugs, Brenda
