This is a card that I made for our monthly SOTC—Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards--Swap on SCS. Wynne was our hostess for June. Here is her challenge: For the month of June we're going to have a summer time theme. Please make a card inspired by your favorite summer time activity or something you love about summer
I love the 4th of July—it was my dad’s birthday and we always had a family and friends picnic at the farm for as long as I can remember. After he was gone, I took up the tradition and for the past 20 some years, we have a cookout. This year the party is next Sunday, on the 8th. I have a bit of red/white/blue paper, so I decided to make a card to celebrate one of my favorite parts of summer!
