Did you fire up the grill for the 4th of July? I am sure many have for the holiday gatherings. Unfortunately, my husband and I have been sick with this virus going around here in Ohio. However, we did watch Red, White, and Boom on tv. Columbus, Ohio never disappoints with their fireworks. I have been reading on the internet that some other states are starting use drones for their festivities. I would love to see one of those and bet they are just as spectacular. Did you have fireworks in your area or drones. Would love to read your comments on this subject.

Time to Celebrate

This card is showcasing the grill with Stampin’ Blends. I fun way to showcase several colors to create the flames and look at that scrumptious burger and fries. Now let’s get to the ingredients of this card.
