Proud Eagle
July 2nd, 2008
I almost called this post ‘missing mojo’, but that’s not really accurate. It’s just been so busy around here. Between swim meets, work and prepping for CHA, it’s been pretty busy. And of course, this is the first week the girls are home from summer school. A whole new daily dynamic.
When we moved to Marshall a few years ago, the Fourth of July became my favorite week of the summer. We have created some fun traditions for our family, and we really look forward to them. Our favorite is the neighborhood parade on the morning of the Fourth. I’ll have to post pictures for you this year. Wes and the girls started pulling our ‘float’ together tonight. 
Here’s a little ’simple stamping’ Happy Fourth, Kim Hughes for you. I love this Proud Eagle image. He’s so handsome, standing tall! Tomorrow brings another new release for Kim and it’s Christmas in July at CHF. You are going to FLIP when you see her adorable Christmas images. One set is called Heart Warmers, the other is Christmas Critters. The thing I really like about Christmas Critters is that many of the images have year around appeal. See you soon - I’m gonna try to stamp another before bed tonight.

I’ve been missing your creations! This is adorable!
Your 4th sounds like a blast - I miss the kids being little and hearing the oooohs and aaaaahs at the fireworks.

I’m lovin’ this Eagle. You did a great job with it. So patriotic. I can’t wait to see the pictures of the float!

What a great patriotic card, Lori! Doesn’t that eagle just scream to be layered…you did a great job!! (Screaming eagles is a school team here actually, now that I think about it!)I love the way you made the background with the stars!
I love all things red, white and blue (July 4th is my mom’s b’day!) and your card fits the bill perfectly! I have a sketch challenge up on my blog…and I used a Kim Hughes’ set too….how could I not?! And I love her sneak peeks of the new sets already!!
Happy Fourth!
