They were a part of my everyday life during the summer months as a kid, and as a teen too. They only cost $1 at all the state and county fairs, and most of the ice cream shops sold them too. We ate them at every BBQ and outside party I'd ever been to. I insisted we have them at our wedding even! Yum. New baby potatoes, boiled whole (in their skins) in super salty water, then smothered in butter!
ETA: See here for a definition of salt potatoes. I will also post my own photo tomorrow, because mine are "special"! Also, see here for a blog post about salt potatoes and how they originated.
Anyway, this card was based on the #20 sketch challenge at CPS. I tried to go "traditional" and that really IS a challenge for me! It wasn't until I was done with this card and had already photographed it and uploaded it to blogger that I remembered that I have a ton of star brads in many different colors that I've had forever and need to be used up. Oh well, next time.

You didn't explain what salt potatoes are for those who have never heard of them!
Salt potatoes sound yummy! i'm a big fan of the potato anyway.
i love the card! i never make July 4th cards, mostly because i really can't connect to the color scheme. Oh, well. You did a great job!
I'm from Oregon, so I had to look up salt potatoes!!! Do you make them yourself? How different are they than just boiled potatoes? Do you have your own recipe?
What an adorable card! I love those three stars in the middle! Great job and thanks for participating at CPS this week!
