Hi friends! Happy 4th of July! Whatcha got planned for this fine summer holiday? Parades? BBQ? Fireworks? I hope you have a fabbie day! I will be at work all day today, but super grateful for the overtime hours, so it's all good. After work I'll spend time with family and relax a little bit too. Best wishes for a Happy Independence Day!
I have a milestone to celebrate also…sometime yesterday…I got my 300,000th blog hit! WOWZA! That is the coolest thing ever. SOOOOO happy to share with all of you bloggy friends. Thanks for the love and support over the past two years. I so love being a bloggy girl. I never imagined how much fun this all is!
I have another 4th of July card to share today. Just got some awesome star dies in the mail from PTI and had to use them for the holiday. This card started out sort of clean and simple…but then ended up with some more pizazz, because I couldn't stop with the stars!
So fresh and graphic! I love these stars. Nothing says America like red white and blue stars. These dies are so crisp. The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up. The paper is Bazzill.
At first I was going to use this stamp. Look at that pretty pile of stars…
Here is that Nautical Blue ink again. I cannot get enough of it. Blings from Stampin' Up also.
Here's a side view so you can see the layers. All mounted onto a kraft card base. I originally had a white card base, but changed my mind. The color really pops off the kraft more.
Now for a silly picture! Here is a photo from when Mr. Buddy was a wee boo boo! Can you see his patriotic collar? He was born in the USA! LOL. I thought I would throw in this pic for a laugh and a smile. Hard to believe that the giant cat we all know and love was once this tiny!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Happy 4th July to you all…..
I like the card Wanda, havent got any Star dies so maybe I should invest in some as they realy make a statement, a card like this would be god for a male card.
How cute is Buddy ….. he’s grown into a handsome young man now….. I cant believe the small cat I got this time last year is now a year old and weighing 6.5kg+
Hope you have a great day.
You always melt my heart with your adorable Buddy photos! I want to love all over him!!! 😉 Love your card! I have a star card on the old blog too, with gems as well! 😉 Have a happy 4th! 🙂
Happy Independence Day, Wanda! Terrific card! I love all of the stars! Buddy looks too precious, and I’m not even a cat person…lol!
OMG Wanda this pix of Buddy is TOOOOOO precious! They don’t stay that way very long. 🙂 I’m glad their wee kitten personalities stay longer though. Love your card. Happy 4th to you & Mr. Buddy! xoxo

Hi Wanda! That is a cute card with the stars. No fireworks in our town today due to drought. We have had 100+ record-setting temps. here for over a week….our grass crunches when we walk on it. Everyone is staying in keeping cool.
Hope you have had a great day! LC

Love it – of course. Baby Buddy ya just want to hug and squeeze him…..
Look at that tiny and adorable Buddy with his patriotic collar! I always knew that dude had style! 😉 LOVE your card, Wanda! So crisp and graphic and I adore the kraft background you chose. SO beautiful!
Oh my goodness, as a kitty mom myself I can’t get over how adorable Buddy’s baby photo is! He’s grown into such a handsome boy. Mine is 5 now but he’ll always be my “kitten”! =)
