Happy Birthday America!

A very happy Wednesday to you all!  Hope you week is going well so far.  My week has been good and will get better on July 4th at 2pm as I start vacation for 8 days!  We will be having some friends over and enjoy some pool time relaxation and some good food, then we will go up to Verrado to watch the fireworks.  They are so pretty there and we get to see lots of them across the whole valley.  I sure hope you have some good times planned for the upcoming holiday weekend.

It is challenge time again at Creative Moments and this time our theme this challenge is "Celebrations" and what a perfect time as we are celebrating the 4th of July.  Our sponsor is "Sassy Studio" and when I saw this little cutie I knew this what I wanted to do!  Her name is "Captain Americana" now who does not like the super hero's :)

There is a great sale going on the rest of this week until – Monday July 7th…EVERYTHING @ PaperTemptress.com is going to be 30% off…unless it is already discounted more than 30% such as the ALL the Hambly products and ALL the ribbon which are both already 60% off….Wow…the biggest sale EVER!  Enjoy!

I used a sketch from Sketch and Stash #6, it worked perfectly for this image, which is colored on Cryogen white and you can get it from the Paper Temptress.  My DP's are from Doodle Bug Patriotic Parade I just love their papers.  The border is a MS punch and the sentiment is one I grabbed from Pinterest.

 



My image is colored with copics and I did not list the sorry.  I have added a little stickles to the white areas to add a little spark to the card.

I hope you will join us in our current challenge we would love to see all of your beautiful creations!

Hi there thanks for stopping by ....can you believe it is already the end of April !  I tell you time just flies these days.  Today for our challenge we are using the first stamp we bought or a stamp we would not part with.  I just fell in love with these little Tilda images 2 years ago.  I am not sure what it was but they stole my heart and have continued to just bring a smile to my heart with each new collection.  I know when I joined the Magnolia-licious yahoo group and I saw all the amazing cards from the gals there it was my dream to be on one of those DT's someday.  I even had the nerve to apply about 3 months later LOL, you should see some of those cards I thought were all that !  I need to say a special thanks to Suzanne Dean, Sharon Caudle, and Barb Hardman for all the encouraging words you gave me you will always have a special place in my heart.  I ordered my frist Tilda's from Joanna Sheen...I have no idea what she is called except cute !  I even remember telling my good friend I am just going to get a few of those copics almost 200 markers later, I think I have all I really need, now I am working on refills....
 My image is stamped on Neenah paper.  All the papers are from my stash .  Copics used R22, 24, 27, B91, 93, 95, E00, E000, R20 E31, 35 37.  Please stop by my dear friend Danielle's, Christina, Sandy and Rene to see what they have for you !  Have a great weekend everyone !
