Apple Pie 4th of July

Help! My laptop is broken. Obviously, it still works, but it really is broken. GT, who ventured into his terrible two's a wee bit early, got hold of my laptop & ripped off the H & J keys. He tore off the silicone cup underneath & broke the plastic clips that hold the keys on. Needless to say, my typing is sucky at best. Now I have to buy replacement keys off E-bay or go for a whole new keyboard. Curses!!
I've had this image from Karen Lockhart colored up for a for a while. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. This weeks Mojo Monday sketch #90 seemed interesting so I thought I'd give it a whirl.
I used my MM Slice to cut "4th" from red card stock. I colored that up with my red Spica pen for tons of glitz and ran it through my Xryon. The large stripe & dainty floral stamps are backgrounders from Cornish Heritage Farms (CHF). They stamped like a dream. I added a few tiny red rhinestones for more sparkle. It really pops IRL!
I'm going out of town for 3 weeks. While I'm gone, I try to send my DH a couple of cards to let tell him I miss him. I think any snail mail that isn't a bill is fun, fun, fun! This will be part of my stash that I send to him.
