Independence Day - The Cutting Cafe

Happy Independence Day!!

Hi Everyone!  I hope all is well and everyone is enjoying their week so far.  Hopefully you all have been enjoying family, great food and fun.  I don't have big plans for the 4th as it falls during the middle of the week and makes it kinda hard for everyone to get together.  So, I'm just going to go over to my mom's for a bit and then relax as I have to go to work Thursday and Friday.

So, for this week, our challenge over at The Cutting Cafe was to use files that were about Independence Day.  For the challenge, I made 2 projects....a card and a layout. 

For the card, I made a gate-fold card where the base is 6x6.  I used the Independence Day Sentiments, The USA Phrases and the Independence Day Background set.   I used my Stars cuttlebug embossing folder and some stickles.

For the layout, I used the Independence Day Sentiments and the Independence Day Background set.  I also used the Stars cuttlebug embossing folder as well as some borders and stickers from K&Co.  The blue paper is from Michael's open stock.  I just adhered the paper to some chipboard to make it sturdy.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe 4th of July. 

SOC's Blog Hop - Day 2

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back for Day 2 of the Hop.  I hope you all are enjoying the projects as well as your weekend!!  For Day 2, I decided to do a layout.  I don't do many layouts as I am addicted to making mini albums.  That being said, I hope this layout measures up to those that are pros at doing them.  :-)

I used The Summer Days paper stack by DCWV.  I just adhered the paper to some chipboard with hot glue so that it would have some stability.  I used Recollections flowers from Michaels as well as the flowers in the calipso tin that Michaels used to sell (I don't think they sell them anymore).  The lawn chair is a sticker, the flip flops and the title are from the paper stack.  The ribbon slider and flatback pearl are from Babbers1891 on youtube. 

Video and pics are posted below. 



Thanks again for coming back for Day 2 of my projects for the hop and don't forget to leave a comment and become a follower if you are't already to be eligible for the blog candy.  I hope you all stop back by tomorrow for my last project of the hop.
