4th of July at My Sister's House

Now, that I have it on here, I see that it is  a little blurry. I started it for the embossing challenge but didn't finish it until today--so the white lines are sanded embossed lines i created with my Scor-Pal.  I am entering this in Simon Says Anything Goes....

P.S. This is my second entry.

Love July 4, 2014

Look at these sweet FACES! You can tell that love, love, love is in the air! I love this photo of my son and his sweet girlfriend! I'm entering this into Simon Says Stamp Challenge: About a Face and to my friend Stacy's challenge!

Hope all is well in your world!

I made this card for Memorial Day and for a couple of challenges: my friend Stacy's and
Simon Says Stamp Presents a Star Challenge! over at Lily Pad Cards and Simon Says Stamp and Show a summer holiday. You could say this would work as a Memorial Day card and a Fourth of July card. I used a PageMaps sketch... I took it pretty literally!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are enjoying the Memorial Day weekend and remember our fallen soldiers and their families with a prayer.

I did this for the Pages in Time Thur Sketch of the Week July 22.  I used some of the things my Fiskateers Secret Sister sent me! What fun!  When I first saw the sketch, I was a little intimidated by it, but I thought by adding the different textures with the Magic Mesh and funky wired ribbon, etc., that it worked out ok!

I'm also going to enter it to http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/, a new challenge site I just found recently!

I made this because of a CK prompt.  I like the banner (some of which has Tim Holtz Rock Candy) and the hand-made rose (which also has Rock Candy). I just bought the Rock Candy (at Scrapgal.com) and it is a lot of fun! It comes out of the bottle really fast and doesn't look like much UNTIL it dries--then it looks a little sugary. The patterned paper is Glitz Designs (dark blue and the banner).
