For this year, we just decided to relax at home and do nothing during the day. I made a jello cake which was totally yummy. After we ate dinner, we decided it would be fun to go see some fireworks, so we looked online and found some displays close to us. We drove until we got close to one and all the streets were blocked off, so we parked and walked up to watch the fireworks. They started before we got to our destination though, so we ended up stopping in an apartment complex and watching them. I think E and J were okay but not totally impressed. Next year I want to get closer so it will be loud and they can really experience fireworks. Anyway, we had a good time. My kids looked darling too!!! Happy Independence USA!!!
This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
