Let's Celebrate USA

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  Tonight I have a quick post on a card that I will be entering in a few challenges.  It has been a while since I have participated in a challenge and I have really missed it!  So, I thought what a perfect time it would be to do one.  While I was surfing around my favorite blogs, I noticed that a few of the challenge blogs had a similar theme this week.  So, I will be entering this card for the followings challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - Challenge #66 Use Red, White & Blue
Birthday Sundaes - Challenge #15 Stars & Stripes Birthday
Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #12 Let's get Patriotic (Use Bling, Brads or Buttons)
Scrapbookaholicbyabby Challenge #8 Use Red, White & Blue

Stop by their blogs and join in on the fun! 

Also, don't forget that starting this Friday July 1st there will be an awesome new challenge blog starting.  Cricut 360 will have weekly challenges every Friday and I am super excited to be part of their wonderful Design Team.  Stop on by and become a follower, you won't want to miss out on any of the crafty fun :0)

My Card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the materials I used are as follows:
*Carts Used: A Child's Year @ 3.00"
*Solid cardstock: Bazzill and Recollections
*Patterned Paper: Doodlebug (Love their papers...always so cute)
*Cuttlebug & Star Embossing Folder
*EK Success Punch: Decorative Tag
*Sentiment: TPC Studios-Everyday Greetings
*Red Ink Pad
*Baker's Twine
*Jeweled Stars - Bought these last year @ Jo Ann's
*Stickles: Diamond

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Diana
