I have a lot of photos from the 4th (between that and our trip to the lake, I took almost 300 photos in a 2 day period), so I should have a lot of things to share!

All American
Once again summer is flying by. I can't believe my boys will be going back to school in just about another month. The 4th of July was just last week and I've already made a layout about it - that's fast for me! I decided to play along with the challenge over at
ScrapStuffz this month. Here is their inspiration photo:
I love so many things about this photo.
The 4th is one of my favorite holidays, so it was easy to be inspired by it. I loved the colors, the stars, the arrows, the starbursts....so many ways I could go with this! In the end I decided to go with the colors, the stars, and the 4th of July theme. This is what I came up with:
My kids were such good sports posing with their flags! It makes me happy that even though they are all getting older, they still humor me and my silly ideas. I used the super cute Bella Blvd All American collection, added a few sequins and a July 4th badge that I found at that dollar store.
