Blog Hop at Clear Dollar Stamps

For our June hop from Clear Dollar Stamps our theme is "Celebrate".  We could take that however we wanted.  I choose to use one of the brand new digital stamps sets called "Stitchy Stars" and make an Independence Day card.  I printed out several different sizes of the stars and started coloring.  If you have come from Jen's blog then you are on the right track.  If not, you will want to start over at Clearly iStamp to see how the other girls are "celebrating" this hop.
