July Hostess Club Layout: 4th of July

Okay!!!  Where have I been?!  This past couple of months have been way too busy for me to do hardly any card making or scrapbooking.  With school coming to a close at the beginning of June and then a fun trip to Mexico....time in my favorite room had come to almost a complete halt.  Summer is always busy!

So...here is a layout I have put together for my July Hostess Clubs and also for the H2H challenge this week.  I had this theme picked out for quite some time.  Although, now, the 4th of July is not going to be the traditional one that we are all used to.  Montana has been so unusually hot this past month that we are experiencing a super dry spell and they have ban the use of fireworks.  I don't know about you, but fireworks are a traditional every 4th that I hate to give up.  They are a symbol of celebration.  I have never in my 34 years not been able to light a firework for the 4th.  This truly is a BIG bummer!  So, these pages will be filled with BBQ pictures and sadly no fireworks. :(

Okay...I think I got my rant out of the way.  I hope you like the layout and I can't wait to have my gals from my Hostess Club make it.

Thanks for stopping by!
