Living in America, the 4th of July is always a day of fun spent with family, friends and let's not forget the yummy food.  All this is then topped off with fireworks at night.  So in the spirit of this fun holiday, I used Patriotic Sassy from Sassy Studio Designs and made this "Happy Fourth of July" card.

Sassy Smurfette

Sassy Studio Designs are having a progressive facebook challenge and I decided to participate this month. I just couldn't resist this image.  I love the Smurfs :-), so here is the card I made to enter their challenge ...

Items used to make this card:

Card Base ~ Spellbinders Card Creator Die - Mystical Embrace

Card Stock ~ Heavenly White 80 lb - Paper Temptress

Blue Card Stock ~ Recollections

Copic Markers to colour the image

Flowers and Beads ~ Wild Orchid Crafts

Inside Sentiment ~ Computer Generated

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my card. I certainly had fun making it :-)  Brought back lots of wonderful memories of Smurfing good fun with my kids :-) My hubby has a box full of the little guys that he collected when he was a kid. The kids and I made up stories and games with them and we didn't miss a single episode of the TV series.  Even today, I enjoy the Smufs movie :-)  I'm so glad that my kids are still from the era where Disney, Smurfs, Garfield, Scooby, Ninja Turtles and Pokemon  were the main attractions.  I find that quite a number of today's cartoons are almost scary :-)

Have a wonderful week, everyone. I will be back soon with another card to share with you.

Till then,

Happy Crafting!
