Happy July Birthday

Hello Everyone!

Hope you have been enjoying your weekend. We worked in the yard again today, but it sure is looking good. We still have a few more small projects we want to complete, but I can see the progress. After cleaning up we went to the Olive Garden for lunch (our reward for all the hard work). Then we went to the mall to get a Father's Day gift for my in-law. While there I found a new dress on sale for 70% off that I am putting away for the first week of school. Can't pass up a good deal even if it is summer break!

Once we got home I made this card for my Father-in-Law. His birthday is the first week of July. I tend to make patriotic cards for the entire month of July...love the colors and theme.

I used the following sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I cut the stars and banner with my Cameo and used a white gelly roll pen to add the stitching. I used craft thread for the balloons.

The birthday stamp is by My Pink Stamper.
Other Materials:
pattern paper ~ Paper Studio
blue, red, and cream card stock
blue ink
blue gems

Other Challenges:

Hope you have a fabulous Sunday. Be sure to enjoy some time with family. Not sure if we will work in the yard again, but I know I will be making a Father's Day card or two.

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

    I love this card. The shape of the banner is perfect to fit on a circle. Your father in law will enjoy the special card you made for him. We have had to let one side of our backyards grass die. We have strict water restrictions here,
