Celebrate Freedom

Happy Independence Day everyone! I'm sure you have all had a fun filled day with family and friends!! Here in South Florida it has been HOT HOT HOT!! We had a little cook out and now we are getting ready to see fireworks in the neighborhood.  So, while it was blazing hot outside earlier this afternoon.  I found refuge inside with the nice cool a/c and thought let me play with my Cameo.  I mainly use my Cricut for my projects (I guess I'm just used to it) but I thought what the heck.  Here I am lucky to have both and I have only used it once before today, and I have had it since Valentine's Day!   Yes, I know...gasp!!! But, I'm so glad I decided to give it another go.  So here are all the deets of my card :0)

Items Used
Silhouette Store - Echo Park Butterfly
Solid Carstock - My Scraps
Patterned Paper - Echo Park 4th of July Collection Kit

White Gel Pen
Buttons - My stash

Well, I hope you all have liked my very first post that includes the use of my Cameo.  I am hoping to master it a little better so that I can enjoy my new toy :0)

Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop - Day Two

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for Day 2 of The Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop!!  I would like to thank Lisa for hosting such a fun hop and for allowing me be a part of it!!  Thanks Lisa :0) There were so many wonderful projects on Day One, I am sure you were all inspired as much as I was with all the crafty goodness!!   So get ready to be inspired some more as we do it all over again for Day Two!  If you just happened to stumble onto my blog and would like to play along with us. Please do so by starting over at Lisa's Blog and join in on all the fun as we celebrate The Fourth of July.  If you came here from Tahi's Blog then you are right on track!

So for Day Two I decided to do a Party Decor Project.  At first I had planned on making this a wall hanging project.  But after I got started, I thought this would look great on a buffet table or dessert table for a Fourth of July get together.  So I went with that and I love the end result, hope you do too!! Here are all the details of my project.

Cartridges Used
Elegant Edges
Birthday Bash
Stand & Salute

Other Items Used

In order to make a sturdy tabletop decoration, I knew I would have to use some type of chipboard.  Cardstock alone was not going to work. So instead of buying some, I recycled and I used cereal boxes!!  I cut the base twice and just glued them back to back, it's very sturdy now ;0)

Well I hope you have enjoyed my project for today and up next is the super talented Miranda!

But wait!! What's a blog hop without a little candy?!  As promised, here is what you can win!!
