Patriotic...and some ribbon

Hey everyone!

I'm nursing a "summer cold"...are we ever safe from these cold bugs!?  I'm sure the back to back to back summer fun outings didn't help either (Zoo on Tuesday, Marineland on Wednesday, Canada's Wonderland on Thursday).  Not to mention our weekly beach volleyball games starting at 910pm this week!  Feeling a little better now (at 2am) and had creative second wind!  I might be feeling this something worse tomorrow...but at least I got some fun crafting in!   This layout was inspired by the folks over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge (Patriotic), My Mind's Eye Blog July Challenge (Red, White and Blue) as well as the folks over at The Greeting Farm with a similar theme (Red, White, Blue and Ribbon) for Farm Fresh Friday this week.

The patterned papers are from MME: All Boy and the dicut snowflakes panel I cut from my Silhouette.  I coloured the Greeting Farm image with Copics.

I've been meaning to scrapbook this memory for a while.  I've had the story in my journal for over 3 years and I stumbled upon these pictures and it reminded me of this day.  It truly was sooo thoughtful of our church friends to think of my girls!  Such a sweet random act of kindness!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
