Challenge Me Monday



Hello everyone and welcome to another Challenge Me Monday at FCCB!  I can't believe it's already July.  The temperatures around here have been so hot and we decided to spend the day at the pool.

Since July 4th is two days away, this week we want to see your 4th of July inspired projects (make a project with a firework, sparkler, or other big "boom" project).  I made a card for my husband who is currently deployed.  I try to make sure to send him something from home every week.  This week's challenge made the perfect 4th of July card to send to him.

The base of my card was cut at 5"x6.5".  I resized the border in my gypsy to fit the width of my card.  The firework came from Sweet Treats and was cut at 3.5".  I stamped the firework with a cute little Peachy Keen face, added some buttons, twine, doodling, glossy accents, and chalk.

Pin It



Items Used:
Sweet Treats and Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge
Peachy Keen Stamps: In Stitches
My Creative Time: Happy Homecoming
Buttons
Twine
Glossy Accents
Chalk
White Gelly Roll Pen

Make sure you stop by the FCCB blog and check out the rest of the DT's fabulous projects.  I promise you won't be disappointed!
