Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today is our country's 250th Birthday.
Happy Birthday America!
There will be lots of fireworks displays all over the country and I'm sure there
will be some firecrackers going off in our neighborhood too.
When I saw Judy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I thought of firecrackers.
I don't have a die for that so I made my own from some paper scraps. I found
a piece of patterned paper with fireworks in my stash and used it for the tips and
circle with the sentiment. Some glitter glue brought in a bit of sparkle. It's
old and kind of clumpy and I needed to rub most of it off, but
it did leave behind some sparkle.
These firecrackers won't cause any fires or scare any pets. The best kind!
If you're in the US, Happy 4th of Julyl
Celebrate safely and stay cool.

What a fantastic idea, Bonnie! Use the sketch and celebrate the 4th all in one fun crafty session.
Happy 4th AND 250th Bonnie! It's so hot here 90's + that being outside, even for fireworks isn't fun - so I'll be watching the Boston celebration in the Hatch Shell and on the Charles River tonight on TV! What a great card for the sketch! Julia xx
You made some super cute firecrackers, this is fun! Happy 4th to you and your family, Bonnie!
There you go again, thinking outside the box! Wonderful ideas, and your card helps us to celebrate 259 years! Happy Fourth, Bonnie

What a great take on the sketch Bonnie...LOVE it!! Hope you had a wonderful 4th!! Hugs. :0)
I love your card! I almost made fire crackers for my sample this week so I love your idea! So cute! Thank you for playing with my sketch this week at FMS
What a fun take on the sketch, Bonnie! Your DIY firecrackers are so festive and I love all that sparkle! Thanks so much for joining FMS this week!
An absolutely brilliant use of the sketch and very creative of you to make your own fireworks! There were two nights of booming big fireworks here as we live close to the bay where they set them off, but Sophie and Ridley were very chill about it, as were Wally and LuLu. Glad for that!
I was most pleased by your words that these firecrackers won't harm any animals. Only these kinds of fireworks are allowed in my country. I'm glad you recognize this problem, too. Great card design. Bonnie, I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful celebration without harming nature.

Perfect for the challenge as well as the day!
Oh this is cool! Love this fab card to celebrate 4th July! Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
Love how you made the 'tips' of your fireworks Bonnie - a great card
Blessings
