Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #72

Welcome to our first Die Cuttin Divas Challenge for July!  Has this summer flown by for anyone else?!  I cannot believe it is already July!  With that, we would like to see your projects with red, white and blue!  As an added bonus feel free to use a Patriotic symbol!  Here is what I created :)

I took this opportunity to make yet another layout!  I'm getting there though, this is from 2008!  We had a huge block party that year and the kids had an absolute blast!  Every year we decorate our bikes for the parade and this particular year we rented a bounce house, pulled all of our grills into the road, had crafts set out at certain driveways and set up a couple of pools and a water slide!  I cannot express how much fun it was!  So I look forward to scrapping these types of layouts!  I hope you decide to play along this week in our challenge!  Be sure to use a die cut somewhere on your project and link it up HERE.
