07/04 Happy 4th of July!

I hope all of you are having a terrific holiday and spending time with your family and friends! Welcome to the Scrapbook News and Review/Card Universe and our inspirational Oh Say Can You See 4th of July Blog Hop.

I'm so glad you could join us. If you came from Korin Sutherland's blog then you are on the right track! If you didn't you may want to hop to back to the beginning and start here


My inspiration came from Jen Rubio, another CTMH consultant and a piece of fabric I purchased at JoAnn's. I have used clothing and accessories as a starting point for years. This technique is perfect for getting my mojo going!


The photo was taken at the Marietta National Cemetery in Marietta, GA. It was a perfect back drop for my card. There were markers from the Revolutionary War up to the Vietnam War. I am so proud to be an American and this place just validated my pride!
