When the Lad turned 16, he changed his name back to my maiden name. To mark this momentous and life changing event, we held a special Name Day celebration to recognize, not only the change of name, but also to mark his coming of age. With my sister visiting, we settled on the 4th of July to hold the ceremony and celebration. Independence day took on a whole new meaning thereafter. I only wish I'd been making cards back then!
No matter how you celebrate, or what independence means to you, I wish you a happy, safe holiday! May your pool be cool, your grill be hot, and your fireworks burn bright! Today's Tutorial

This week, I'm focusing on Stampin' Up!'s lovely designer series papers. With the Buy 3/Get 1 Free sale happening throughout July, it's the perfect time to showcase paper. But then again, when isn't a good time to showcase paper?
Today, we're taking a look at the Nature's Poem paper. With it's greens, purples, and oranges, it's perfect for all seasons. It also that sunprint look that I used to do with my Montessori students using leaves and flowers and sun-sensitive paper, giving it an almost- vintage look in some instances. This is a paper that while meant to be used along with the Rooted in Nature bundle, it's bold prints or subtle patterns will be able to stand well on its own, too. 
The Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper colors include: Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede, Tranquil Tide, Whisper White.
Come play along with the CASE-ing Tuesday Group!
Makeover the card (pictured below). You can change a lot, a little or make the card just as it is in the catalog. Then post it to the the CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group Page.

Air conditioning...a necessary evil. Can't live without it, but it just makes the house feels so claustrophobic. Don't tell...but I'm seriously counting down the days until fall! However, summer does bring so many beautiful flowers. My roses are blooming all over and my front and back yards are covered in Lovely Lipstick blooms. Such a pretty and vibrant rosy red! so cheerful, even on the hottest of summer days. Speaking of Varied Vases...Junes's Sweet & Simple Sunday Card Class features the Varied Vases Bundle.
