Happy 4th of July!!!!

I had bought the "Ciara" stamp through Stampers' Best to participate in the June tutorial.  I didn't participate however, I had the best intentions....

Here is my card based on that tutorial which basically focuses on paper piecing.  I used the Lawn Fawn Blue Skies to make the stars (and Sakura clear glitter pen around the edges of the stars).  The paper is from Doodlebug!!! Oh My Stars. Love that paper. (I'm afraid to use it).

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and the background stamp is from Stampers' Best (for Operation Write Home).

Amuse-bouche:

My friend is SOOO crafty with everything she does--- Look at this cute stage she set up for her little girls.
SO Sweet!!!!!  :)


Happy 4th of July, everyone!!!

And here are the boys and Ezra. True to form, Ezra won't look at the camera!  

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!! ... featuring Any Hero Cards....

I've become obsessed with Sandy Allnook's weekly OWH video casts.  Sandy is the creator of Operation Write Home.

Before we get to my Memorial Day card, let me first show you some Any Hero cards.
They're double sided cardstock, as opposed to a full card.  Here is the information on ANY HERO cards in case you're interested in making some.
They're simple.  Sandy has a post about it with a link to her video show talking about Any Hero cards.

Here is my card for Memorial Day.  In June, OWH is doing a tutorial featuring Sandy's stamp that she created for OWH, featuring her Golden Retriever, Ciara.

The background stamp of the Star Spangled Banner is from Stamper's Best that sells the OWH stamps. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.
The coloring is copied from Sandy's video for this image....   HERE is the video link to see it.
