Jaydee is our hostess and the theme is CELEBRATION! We are running the challenge for 2 weeks, so you can enter a card each week and have 2 chances of winning a prize. I hope you will help us celebrate and play along.




I chose to make a card celebrating the 4th...we do it up BIG in our small town. Huge fireworks, parades, rodeo's, the fair...lots going on for all the tourists and cabin people who frequent our area up north. It's always a busy and fun week.

 For my 4th of July card, I decided to use products from some of my favorite stamping companies who donated prizes to our Paper Players celebration. Cheery Lynn, Dies R Us and Tutti Designs. I have been on their design teams for awhile now, and was so excited that they offered up gift certificates to help us celebrate! A BIG thanks to them and to ALL the awesome companies who donated.




I started out with Tutti Designs dotted pierced and scalloped pierced rectangles. Two of my "go to" dies that I use all the time!

Another favorite die of mine is the celebrate pop up die from Cheery Lynn. I like to cut it off and use it as a sentiment. I added some CL swags, a bow and tiny enamel stars.

What fun! I always love how you use the celebrate die. It really makes the whole card. The swags could almost be used as watermelon wedges, and those little enamel stars are cute! Enjoy your 4th! It sounds like a super good time!

Laurie this is adorable! What a wonderful celebration card and it really reminds me of the 4th July picnic we had a couple of years ago with my friends from the UK. We had a whole table display in red white and blue with watermelon and games and this card really reminded me of that wonderful day!
Hugs

Love this fun patriotic card Laurie! I love that the 'celebrate' takes centre page, finished with those fabulous swags (they remind me of election time!) A wonderful card for our 400th celebration challenge.
