HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND - THANKFUL FOR OUR COUNTRY

I LOVE ALL THE PATRIOTIC DECORATIONS EVERYWHERE THIS WEEKEND.  WE ARE SO BLESSED TO BE LIVING IN THIS SPECIAL COUNTRY WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL FREEDOMS. 

I CREATED A CUTE STAR SHAPED BUD VASE HOLDER (SAW THE IDEA ON A BLOG LAST WEEK AND DIDN'T WRITE DOWN WHOSE IT WAS.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE THE ONE WHOSE BLOG HAD THIS SO I CAN GIVE THE PROPER CREDIT)

I CHANGED IT A BIT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE DECORATIVE PAPER IN STARS OR STRIPES.  I USED SMALL RED STRIPES OF CARD STOCK, AND A SMALL STAR STAMP IN PACIFIC POINT FOR THE STARS AT THE TOP.  WHAT DO YOU THINK??

YOU CAN SEE THE PATRIOTIC CARD I ALSO MADE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PHOTO.

I CRIMPED SOME BLUE AND RED CARD STOCK AND CUT IT VERY THIN FOR THE LOOK OF SPARKLERS COMING OUT OF THE TOP.  I AM GOING TO GET SOME RED, WHITE AND BLUE FLOWERS TOMORROW TO HAVE THEM FOR THIS WEEKEND CELEBRATION. STAMP SET: land of the free single stamp
CARD STOCK AND INK: pacific point, real red, whisper white, (and daffodil delight for the tag)
OTHER:  very slim bud vase from Dollar Store

UNTIL NEXT TIME, INKY FINGERS Y'ALL.
