Independence Day Blog Hop!

Please note: This post has CANDY! It will stay at the top of the screen until Monday, July6th. Thank you!

Welcome to the Scrapbook News and Review Oh Say Can You See 4th of July Blog Hop!

To start the Hop at the very beginning, please go to HERE. If you came from Ericka's blog you are on the right track!

Here is my Independence day project. Ever wonder what to do with those left over curly ribbon bows from your kid's birthday presents? Here's an idea!

This would be a great table decoration... it's so festive! Of course, you could send it as a card... it would be a little smooshed but they'd still get the idea! LOL!

The rocket is a Digi Stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps... it can be found HERE. I really enjoyed using this digi image because for the super low price of $3, you can save and print as many copies of the digi set as you like... any size you like!

What comes to mind when we think of our Independence Day celebrations? Back yard barbeque's and picnics! And what comes with any outside celebration? BUGS!

So how about some BUGS to help you celebrate this 4th of July?

I'm giving away this actual STAMP SET ($15 value).... Gone Buggy by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

HOW TO ENTER IN THE DRAWING:

1. LEAVE A COMMENT

2. BECOME A FOLLOWER of my blog (link is on my sidebar to the left)

One of MY little bugs will draw a winner. The winner will be posted on this blog on Monday, July 6th. You must come back and see if you won!

The next stop in the hop is Amy's Blog. Enjoy!

Sweet 'n Sassy Sponsors CPS...

Sweet 'n Sassy is sponsoring Card Positioning Systems again! Here is the sketch: And here is my take on it!

I made my own background paper and then added a 3-d butterfly. I just love this card!

Now, go to the CPS blog for more information!

Last Stop in the Blog Hop, Day 2!

Well? Have you enjoyed the blog hop so far? Lotsa talent, huh?!? Well, this is the last stop. If you're just joining, go HERE to start hoppin'!

Lovely, isn't it?
Well, enjoy your day!

Make sure you join in on the fun tomorrow... starting at Jeanette's blog!

Pretty Paper

I couldn't do it. I just couldn't. The paper was too pretty for me to cut it.... so I made the card around it. I used the Encouragement Scripture stamp set. I just love that set!

FEELIN A little BUGGY!

LOL! Ok, now for some small 3x3 note cards. Those are always wonderful to have on hand!

Fire Camp

Fire camp is a much anticipated event in our household. Not only because dad is a firefighter, but because... well... it's just COOL!

Mrs. Carol heads up the camp... and she does a super fantastic job. Corbin couldn't wait to get up every morning and go to camp. They had a pizza party with some firemen and a graduation the last day. Corbin was so proud!

Here's Corbin and Mrs. Carol with his diploma:And here's Corbin... SO proud of his Jr. Firefighter badge! So I made Mrs. Carol some notecards. I just had to. She's so sweet.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 10th Anniversary, honey! You are my world...

Gone LONG Buggy!

I just love, love, love the fact that Korin decided to turn some of my bugs into a stamp set. Otherwise I would never have been able to do this:Clear stamps are sooooo easy to line up and stamp exactly where you want them! Here's the inside: Cute!

Long and Skinny...

I'm not used to making long and skinny cards. This was a challenge. I used my Be Still stamp set for this one... and it's got a masculine feel to the card.

I used a glitter pen to trace the deer image. I tried to capture some of the shimmer here:

New Life Begins With Christ!

I found this little watering can in the Dollar Spot at Target. I knew what I had to do when I found it. Alter it! So I used the new borders set and stamped the leaves with staz-on ink. Then I did the same for the matching note card. This is one of my favorite projects!

His Grace is Suffecient!

We can rest in that promise... I used the God's Grace stamp set.

Happy Father's Day!

Hope your day is fabulous and the kids show off everything you've taught them, Dad!

Scrap and Stamp!

Have you seen the new challenge blog, Scrap and Stamp Saturday? Well, it's fun, I tell you! My friends Alex and Melissa started it and they've got a wonderful design team set up!

This week I am sponsoring it with my bug digis. Go see what they've created! Play along, and you could win a free digi from the Bug's Life collection at Sweet 'n Sassy stamps!

Sweet Stop Saturday #9

This week is the Sweet Stop Sketch.... with a TWIST! This week's twist is the sketch... and use the colors red, white, and blue! I used my bugs.... and the sentiment is from Chris's butterfly stamp set. It says Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cute, huh?

Fly Away Butterfly!

This is from Chris's new stamp set. I am so in love with this card! I used my copics for the butterfly... R11, R20, RV13 and Y06. The flower is from the dollar store :), and the Thank You charms are from the wedding aisle at my local craft store.
