Happy 4th of July  I thought I'd share this layout of a 4th we celebrated a few years ago.  This layout uses only cardstock cut into strips for the background.  The title is stamped on the focal picture mat and the side strip is stamped with stars, wrapped in fiber and has embossed stars tied to the ends.  All Real Red, Brilliant Blue and Whisper White - very patriotic.  Enjoy celebrating today and be sure to take lots of pictures!  Then check my schedule for a time to scrap them!  Hugs, Fran
