We have a patriotic theme for our BBTB2 challenge this week! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays of the year-besides celebrating our wonderful country, it is just more laid back and casual than many of the other holidays. We always go to see the fireworks show in our city park, which is lots of fun. Our little suburb of the KC metro usually puts on a great show, complete with band music and hotdog vendors. We take a cooler, lawn chairs, and a frisbee and have a blast. It's just a really fun community event.
I've made a layout for my pictures of the event, using A Child's Year for the boy on the rocket and the Phrases cartridge for the title. I found this fabulous paper from Authentique- the kind of retro looking postcards are from the back side of one of the papers. I added the Reach for the Stars stamp on my journal box as a little extra fun touch!

Have fun joining us at BBTB2 with a patriotic/4th of July project-I so enjoy browsing blogs to see what you make! And I hope you have a wonderful 4th, however you may be celebrating it!
I'm also going to link this to the Fantabulous Cricut challenge and the Cut It Up challenge this week, since they are both also doing patriotic themed challenges.

This is a fabulous layout Michelle! The papers you have used are just awesome, love the vintage postcard journaling blocks and of course the die cuts you used are just perfect for this holiday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI just love your layout. Great papers and I LOVE the red silhouette cuts.
ReplyDeleteFabulous layout!! Bummer you have to work on Thursday, but glad you are getting off early enough to have some fun. We can see Corporate Woods and sometimes MidAmerica Nazarene from our deck. We usually have people over for a BBQ. So nice to be able to watch from home. We were at Red X yesterday at their tent. Wow, there was an assortment to choose from. My youngest can't wait to go out further south and light those tomorrow night! Have a safe 4th:)

Oh Michelle, you are my hero scrapbooker! I seem to love all of your layouts, and this one is no exception. This is fabulous! The papers you chose work so well with the Cricut cuts and the other details. Love the 4th of July cut and the papers you used truly made it fabulous. I have always loved the image from A Child's year - - and that cute "reach for the stars" stamp is perfect. This is amazing!!! :D
