Celebrate America

Happy July 1st! Independence day is just a fews days away, so I decided to get scrapping on last years photos. I used the new "Anthem" collection by Bo Bunny for these photos of me and my son waiting for the fireworks to start.

I used this sketch from last month's Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge for the 2nd time. You can see my other take on it using the "Key Lime" collection on my last post.

I love the way the burlap looks with this line, and added it to these flowers that I made! I hand stitched the stars which is the twist this month for the Sewing Challenge that I host at Scrapbook com.

Come check it out!

BOAF June Kit Reveal

I just couldn't resist scrapping this darling photo of Gracie, my friend's daughter, to showcase the bold, bright colors and papers in the Birds of a Feather June Kit!

The papers are Anna Griffin "Gabbie" collection. The floral diecut and 3D flower stickers are extras that you can purchase here.

I used Distress Ink (picked raspberry) behind the smile sticker which is from Jillibean Soup and part of the main kit.

For this next page I scrapped these photos of me and my son when he was just 2 months old. He's 11 now and I sure do miss holding him in my arms!

I was inspired by the second sketch from the top of this January Page Maps. I used Dear Lizzy papers "Lucky charm" collection, and the stripes in the background are available in the extra patterned papers. It reminded me of a big beach towel and the colors go perfectly with the pool in the background. The skinnier striped paper is part of the main kit, and I used it to back the diecut card that I used for my title. The big rick rack was leftover from the April kit.

I stamped the stars which I cut out with my Cricut. The little envelopes were cut from the other side of the big striped paper. I added my own buttons and hand stitched around the circle.

Thanks for looking!
