Patriotic Banner - Fab Friday 90 - Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Banners

  Our summer started with a bang last Thursday night with a ridiculously strong storm that knocked out power to a large part of our area and cancelled the last day of school.  We were without power for about 18 hours and it will always be a "last day of school" to remember.  We have been going at full tilt ever since with last soccer games of the season, a quick camping trip and then a week long cub scout day camp.  Whew!

  Luckily we have a Fab Friday challenge to get us through these "relaxing" summer days!  It's a color challenge that may or may not grab your attention for the USA Forth of July celebrations coming up.

  I went right for the easy card and did Forth of July.  I think I may send this one to my grandma!

  A little sparkle, a little stripe, some lace and voila!  Happy Independence Day America!  All of the stamping is from the Thoughtful Banners set; the banner, sentiment and the striped background.

  The Pacific Point background panel is embossed with the Stars folder and each star was then colored with the clear Wink of Stella pen to highlight them a bit more.

 Check out what my fellow Fab Friday Design Team members came up with for these colors and then get to stamping and join us for this challenge!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
