Celebrate the Occasion #20 - 4th of July

Hello Everyone!  It's Design Team #2 day at Celebrate the Occasion!  This week we are Celebrating the upcoming 4th of July!  The twist is you must use Red, White and Blue in your project!  I have another LO for you today!

Just a simple LO today!  This one is my Middle Es first 4th of July.

I used Stand and Salute for all the cuts on this LO.  The red polka-dot ribbon is from Stampin' Up!, the white is Hand Dyed Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot, and the blue is from Michael's.

I outlined the Statue of Liberty and popped her up.  The fireworks are glittered up with Stickles.

I love her crazy smile in this pic!  I added some more ribbon, a button, bling and some My Craft Spot Bakers Twine for an accent.

Thankful Thursday Challenge Day - Honor Someone

Is everyone ready to grab your kids (or a loved one of any age) and craft this week?  Our new challenge for Thankful Thursday is to Honor Someone Special with a display!  With Memorial Day coming up, I immediately thought Red, White, and Blue and my little assistants agreed we should make something for PopPop (my grandfather)!  His 85th Birthday was this month so I hope he enjoys this special creation my girlies made!  Here is what we came up with!

We found a glass candle plate in our box of Yard Sale junk!  It is junk no more!   

The girls went to town on the Cricut cut-outs...

Here is my Oldest E showing Middle E how to use the Gypsy...

Mod Podging the paper down... 

They both have fun painting... 

Middle E can't wait for it to dry!  We are adding his Navy picture to the plate!

Then we made some cards.  My Oldest E wanted to make them so PopPop can send them to his Navy friends!  I love the way she thinks!   

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up! Cardstock
• Flag paper is from Michael's Open Stock
• Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge
• My Craft Spot Bakers Twine
• Lots of Love

Our Lil Firecracker

I found a fun mini hop today at Creative Cutter Room!   They are having Patriotic Themed Mini Blog Hop in honor of Presidents Day and all the Presidential Birthdays.  How much fun is that, short and sweet so you have plenty of time to create something the same night!!  You collect 4 required elements throughout the hop and use them to create a Patriotic Themed Project!  Here is my project that I made tonight to link up!  It is of course a scrapbook page, because I, like many of you, could do about 10 pages a day and still be behind!!  I am not going to share what the 4 elements are, so you will have to hop on over and see the beautiful projects the DT have created!

Products Used:

• Stampin' Up Solid CS, Brad, Buttons, Vintage Label Stamp and Punch
• Firework Paper is LSS Open Stock I had in my stash
• Car Decals Cartridge for the font
• Stand and Salute Cartridge
• Sandylion USA Sticker
