we had such a great time celebrating the 4th of July last year, I can't wait to do it again this year. I wanted to get some of the photos scrapped before I end up with even more, lol. I really like the stitched, folded ribbon I've been seeing in digital kits lately so I thought I'd try it with some real ribbon and a sewing machine. It was pretty simple to do if you use a bit of tape to hold the creases down before sewing. I painted the chipboard and also dry brushed a frame on the edges of the paper.
