Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! In the States we proudly celebrate this Independence Day in honor of our Freedom!!  So today I thought I would share with you this beautiful song by the Annie Moses Band
 
Today is also very special because it is our Sweet Sawyer's very FIRST Birthday!!

I was honored when Jess asked me to design his Birthday Invitations with a Red, White and Blue theme.

The stars were made using the NEW star punch, the small star from the Star Framelits and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  I pulled out an old favorite for the embedded embossing technique called Square Lattice.

One last Card to share: God Bless America!!

Thanks for stopping by 

Have a wonderful day celebrating!

Whoo Hoo!!! Stampin' Up! has added a bunch of new items to the Clearance Rack

This is "Flash Back Friday" - using a retired stamp set and retired designer series paper.  If you are like me, you end up with a variety of designer paper left over when the new catalog comes live and so when I see a cute idea I snatch it up - so this cute card was inspired by Kerry Bunting.

I made a template for paper piercing the circle by punching

out a 1 3/4" Circle, and then drew lines every 1/4" across it

then I laid it on the card front and pierced at each line marking

The little critters, hats and numbers were stamped on a separate

piece of Whisper White and hand cut out.  Lucky for me I LOVE to cut!!

Have a Blessed Day!!
