Red, White, and Blue!

The Red, White, and Blue Linky Party is happening right now at
 
 
Here is a bit of inspiration for you.
 
 
I was digging through an old storage container from when I first started scrapbooking almost 20 years ago, and found some 8 1/2" x 11" pieces of scrapbook paper including the background sheet I used for my card. It is called Blue Stars. This piece of paper was manufactured by Paper Pizazz (Hot Off the Press) back in 1997. When I saw it, I thought it is about time this gets used! LOL!

 
It makes a great background for this super sweet cut file called International Beauty America by Treasure Box Designs. I added a firework from the 4th of July Banners by Miss Kate Cuttables and topped with some Trendy Twine. Then I finished off with my sentiment from Craftin' Desert Divas. This is from the stamp set called Celebrate Freedom. Links are posted below.

 
If you are looking for a few more ideas for the 4th of July, this is a quick and easy project that would look cute on the front of a gift bag or even used on a banner as well!
 
Supplies Used:
Craftin' Desert Divas: Celebrate Freedom
Treasure Box Designs: International Beauty America
Miss Kate Cuttables: 4th of July Banners
Trendy Twine: Stars and Stripes
Paper Pizazz: Blue Stars
Hollo's Paper Warehouse: Cardstock
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
Blessings,
