Patriotic Punch

I decided last night that I should use some stamps that are a bit out of season. I know all of the Independence Day merchandise is in stores, but I don't need this card for any particular reason; I was just stamping for fun. I don't even know to whom I could send this, maybe my cousin's husband who is currently in Iraq. I'll have to look into it. *To make the rounded edge on the sentiment strip, I inserted the strip through a circle punch and pulled the end through so it only punched half of the shape.*
