Clarification!

My sister emailed me to say that posting a card a day until next Independence Day is a big task!  I re-read my post of July 3rd and realized that what I meant came out all wrong!  I'll be posting a card a day during the month of July and it will be a whole year of cards, and the last card will bring us full circle back to Independence Day!

I hope you enjoy the cards!

A Year of Cards!

We’re halfway through 2012! Starting on July 4^th, I will take you through a whole year of holiday cards, posting a holiday card each day until we come full circle back to Independence Day.  I hope you find at least one card you will enjoy recreating! (I will be posting more than one card for some of the holidays.)

Check Back Tomorrow!

Check back tomorrow, July 3rd, to see what I'll be doing with my blog during the rest of July!
