Hello, there all my fellow CE fans! I usually stick with the theme most of the time but, I am switching it up this month and creating a celebratory canvas and dedicating it to the celebration of our freedoms. I am using loads of stars from the store to glitz up this canvas for the holiday. The large heart is my focal point of course because I am appreciative of all the sacrifices from those before me and to those ahead of me. This is for you! There aren't words to express my feelings for you and your families.
