Oh say can you see...?

So sorry I am so far behind this week.  I share a job with a co-worker and she is off this week so I have to do the work by myself so I am overwhelmed.  I have been working long hours to keep up, then add that I am switching off this antibiotic sinus rinse to now a 21 day oral antibiotic regimen....and I am already exhausted. So if I don't get to your blog to visit this week please forgive me since I am having to make it to birthday, graduation and Father's Day parties. Some days just don't have enough hours in them, lol. Or my geenie, elf, fairy, or whoever is willing to help I don't discriminate has not arrived yet.
For this card, I used an Oldie Stella Calendar July USA.  On the right side I added a strip of red washi tape.

Enjoy your Friday and upcoming weekend.

Happy 4th of July

Today starts a new challenge at Imagine That Digistamp with the theme being Fancy Folds or Shaped Cards.  So for my card, I made a patriotic card using the American Pride Kit.  It's perfect for the 4th of July holiday.  I made a side step card.  I also used the papers from this kit.
