What does the 4th of July bring? Fireworks, family, parades, and plenty of celebration. It's an amazing blessing to be in our nation. For all those liberties were protected and won by men and women whom dreamed of these future foundation- I am thankful.
When my children were small I took them to the parades in a red flyer wagon. I love those days and the memories of when it was a marvel to see the big fire engines, floats and bands. If I don't make it to the parade now I'm not sure they would even care. This year I may not see the parade but I do have a resounding spirit of celebration.
To learn how to make this card I used the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers for a Pop-up Card. I found using a craft knife challenging and aligning the scallop punch to make the double sided strip of white was a challenge as well. I do like the results. Thanks for looking and Have a blessed 4th of July.

The Independence we have in the United States was deliberate and defended by those who have lived here before us. May you find a spirit of celebration this year like no other.
