Happy Friday!! I am so glad for the weekend. I have been working like crazy around here and looking forward to getting out of town tomorrow to attend a wedding. I just need to get away from all this sorting, cleaning, washing, organizing for a while. Will I see light at the end of the tunnel soon?? Ugh!
I do have a quick card to share with you today. I used the Quic Kutz Nesting Eyelet Circles die for the base and base layer. The papers are from We R Memory Keepers-Yankee Doodles line.
I cut the bell at 3 1/4 plus the layers from the Independence Day cartridge. I layered in out some fun burlap that I purchased from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique which I just love using. I added a couple of buttons, a bow and a tag from My Creative Time-Teeny Tiny Greetings set to finish up the card.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) More Than Favors~ Wacky Wednesday Challenge #73-4th of July theme
2.) My Sheri Crafts ~Challenge # 88-Red, White and Blue
3.) DL.ART ~Thankful Thursday-Thank You card
4.) Bitten by the bug2 ~Patriotic Challenge
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!
