Today is release day for a very patriotic kit from Karen Diamond Designs called Proud 2 Be an American. It is perfect to scrap photos taken at all the Independence Day festivities you attend next week. Karen currently has it 40% off (preview linked to store).
And here’s a preview of the papers.
Karen also has a few coordinating items that can be purchased separately. I also used the Mixed Papers, which includes glitters, on my layout.
I have one layout showcasing this kit. It is from the 2010 4th of July Party our friends Aric & Kristy hosted. I had intended to scrap the rest of the party in time for this blog post, but time got away from me.

Today is release day for a very patriotic kit from Amy’s Designs called American Spirit. It is perfect to scrap photos taken at all the Independence Day festivities you attend next week. Amy has it half off this first week.
And here’s a preview of the papers.
I have two layouts showcasing this kit. They’re both from our neighborhood’s 4th of July festivities last year.

Template: AK Designs – A Royal Wedding
Font: A&S Black Swan (title), OhMyGodStars (title); Candy Round BTN (journal)
I’m not posting the journaling because it is basically verbatim from the blog post regarding this event. This second layout uses the same template, but I moved the pieces around and removed/resized some of the pieces.

I have another patriotic kit to show you later today.
Apparently stamping with Lori put me in a stamping mood. I started working on this card last night and finished it up during the girls’ naptime today. The image is Sassy Charlotte for the Sassy Studio Designs Sassy in the City Relay which also required it to be a friendship card. I was inspired by the two DT members who had paper pieced her dress. The Pink Elephant Challenge #154, which is a sketch, had perfect timing debuting today while I was browsing for composition ideas. I’m also submitting this card for Phindy’s Place Challenge #111 to use gingham or plaid.

Lori and I used to get together pretty regularly to stamp together. However, since having Janette, my Sunday afternoons haven’t gelled yet. I have taken Janette with me a few times, but I was never very productive stamping wise. So this time, we got together yesterday night after the girls went to bed. I’m hoping that our stampy get togethers become more regular soon.
I had two cards that I worked on while at Lori’s and finished up this afternoon during nap time, which was actually about an hour.
First up is a card for our good friend Aric’s upcoming birthday. I used The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #164 for the card layout. I used a technique called Embossed Embossing for Hambo Hoedown Challenge #71. I hand wrote the sentiment strips and I am going to stamp the inside with happy birthday. I am also submitting this card for the following challenges: Just Us Girls Challenge #142 which was an inspiration photo of a hot dog barbeque and Your Next Stamp Challenge #3 which is anything goes.
