Just a Few Friends, STARS & STRIPES

Hello friends!!! Ready to Celebrate Independence Day??? I am so ready not only to celebrate and enjoy the company of family and friends, but to honor those who have fought and those who are still fighting for our Freedom. May God Bless them all and keep them safe today and always...and I'm so happy to have a friend over to spend the day with us.  We are gonna make a few cards, eat and maybe go catch the fireworks later that evening! What are you all going to do?? I hope one thing on your list will be to prowl around all the Dens along with us, Just a Few Friends. We have grown!! We now have 5 new cubs in the Den who are now ready to show you their creations. We hope that what we have created will inspire you to take lots of pictures this holiday and scrap them on your spare time!! (wink wink) ...Our mini hop starts here with me...so lets me show you what I created...a Layout! using solid cardstock, no designer paper here! I did use a floral stamp to make my stripes and hand cut my stars, since our theme was STARS&STRIPES! I used lots of I am Roses and recollections petals and the bling completes my project! I hope you like it! Can't wait to take that one special picture that will fill in the now empty photo mat. Watch the video HERE, there are lots more pictures for you to view... ok here goes...

 Let me know what you think, drop me a comment or two or three! lol

Have a very happy and SAFE 4th of July!!!

  10. At first glance it didn't looked at one of your creations....;-) jajajjajaja
    It's an explosion of color and activity. It looks Happy and wanting to say something..yes..this design can speak. As usual it's excessively, emotive, and if you listen closely it's saying "happy beauty" So cool, girl jajajjaaa. Saludos!!!
