Time for some patriotism!

Time to show off one of my patriotic projects for this year!

One of our monthly card challenges at Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' was to make a long card, and one of our weekly challenges in the 52 Week Card Challenge was to include a flag on your card, so I thought I'd combine the two!  I used white ZING! Embossing Powder on the song lyrics, which is a new stamp from Deep Red Stamps.  The faux stitching around the edges was done with a white gel pen, and I used gold Stickles on the tassel hanging off the flag.  The flag stamp is from the "Made in the U.S.A." set from Technique Tuesday (I believe), and I used my ZIG Writers in Pure Red and Navy to color it in.

Fireworks!

My layout for this week is all about fireworks!  As I thought throughout the week about what I wanted to create for my Week 2 layout for the 52 Week Challenge, I came across an e-mail from Soul Scrappers about a new Around the World challenge.  One of the inspiration photos in the ATW challenge for this month is of fireworks in the Sydney, Australia harbor.  I knew I had the PERFECT photos!

All three papers on this layout are from the We R Memory Keepers Yankee Doodle line, and they're my last ones!!!  I've absolutely loved this line, and the layouts I've created with it are some of my favorites.

This is my Week 2 layout for the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin's 52 Week Challenge, and it also qualifies for the "One Word" January Challenge in the same group.  It's being entered at Soul Scrappers (Around the World challenge), Red Carpet Studio (Anything Goes Layout Challenge), and I followed Sketch #98 from Sketches In Thyme and am entering the layout over there as well.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!  Happy scrapping!
