Beautiful Missouri Saturday. . .

All the sound of a wonderful spring day here, lawnmowers, kids outside playing, trees being trimmed, birds chirping, dogs barking. . . LOVE IT!! This is when I take a deep breath and say wow, this is great!!!



Then all is interrupted by my two boys fighting, someone is hurt or won't share and I must referee!! Ahhhhhh. . . to be a mom of two boys!! You feel me ladies don't you!!!

Any who . . got my page done for Sally's sketch. Love these photos of my Lucas playing with the sparklers last year. Took the photos with the night shot. Hint: I turned up the exposure, held steady or set camera on a chair or ground and clicked a second before I wanted. Got some lucky shots.



Used a lot of stickles by Ranges (introduced to me by my good friend Becca, now can't live with out my bling from stickles). Outlined the word 'July' for my title and the fireworks thing in the corner. Also used stickles on the Ghost Stars by Heidi Swapp. For the Red and Blue stars, I embossed part of a sheet CS with Iridescent Ice and then punched out. Matted the main photo and popped up. All the stars are also popped up for effect.

Looks a little busy to me but I think it will grow on me.

Have a wonderful day!!
