Road Trip!

Hello! Happy Independence Day to all of my American friends! Do you have big plans for your day? Since we just returned from vacation, I think we'll just cook out at home and maybe catch a local fireworks display! Of course, the girls will have to light some sparklers, too! :)

It's fitting that today's MFTeasers are all about summer fun! We're previewing two new sets: Fred Bear Hits the Beach and Clearly Sentimental about Summer Vacation. My card features Clearly Sentimental about Summer Vacation. It was June's Triple Scoop set, but starting with the July release it is available on its own! The sentiments are so great for all of your summer-themed projects!

I thought this WTG image from Going Places was perfect with the sentiments I chose! I paper pieced the map and dress and colored with Copics and colored pencils. I also used some Crochet Ribbon and an Earth Girl Button.

Tip: If you don't have road map patterned paper, go to Google Maps. You can create a map of any area, then just print it out! I did it for this card and for one of tomorrow's samples, too!

I used a new product on this card -- do you see it? It's the Die-namics Jumbo Open Scallop die! Isn't it great? I finished the inside of the card with another sentiment and some fun stitching, too.

Here's the 411 on July's Release:
