Celebrating the 4th of July

We are excited to celebrate the 4th of July this year. It really is one of my favorite holidays. We usually participate in my parents' neighborhood parade followed by a picnic. Nothing quite like a grilled burger at 9:30 in the morning. (We have to do the picnic early since it's so hot out!)

This week Glitz challenged the design team to create a patriotic themed layouts and I was happy to put some of my photos from last year onto a page.

Even though Glitz doesn't have patriotic specific products, I thought this page came together pretty well and wasn't overwhelmingly all stars and stripes.

This year we will be in Orlando on the 4th, so we won't be doing any of our usual activities.  We will probably miss the neighborhood parade and nighttime fireworks ar my aunt's house, but I'm thinking we will try to manage at a theme park or the beach.

I hope you'll stop by the Glitz Designs blog this week for Patriotic page inspiration!
