Feeling Patriotic
Yesterday was our card party for June. I wanted to do a card with a theme for our current season or upcoming season. Of course here in the U.S. the next big holiday is July 4th. In our house July 4th is a big deal. Actually, it is my husbands all time favorite holiday. Everyone in the house gets a new 4th of July outfit every year. We usually start off our celebrations by going to Concerts in the Park a day or two before. This is a great tradition we missed last year. We pack a cooler with great picnic foods and drag it with us, sit on the lawn, play games, and then listen to the concert and wait for the finale the fireworks show. Then usually each year we get invited to at least three parties for more celebrating. If they are all close we try to make all of them. Sometimes we find ourselves going to friends ranch almost two hours away. It is an all day and almost all night thing but we have great fun. Especially the girls this is their opportunity to just explore the outdoors all day long with no worries.

Your 4th of July plans sound really nice and family oriented! I hope you enjoy yourself just as much this year.
I like the use of the star brad–it reminds me of a medal. Is it on the envelope?

Jummy, thank you. The card is actually a tri-fold card the flap of the card is what the medal is on. It isn’t a regular brad almost more of a grommet.
