PRIZE CHALLENGE...Taking a "new" look at CHIPBOARD & BUSY PAPER.............

On this page we decided to "let the paper do the work".  Kel brilliantly thought we should let the paper work as an embellishment too!  With the simple addition of chipboard let to this busy paper, this page layed out itself. I am sure we all have buckets of chipboard and never find the right piece of paper to adhere it too. But putting it on busy piece of paper, really lets the chipboard shine. The 4th July circle came from Dawn, so cute.

Check out last Sunday's post for the challenge and prize!

Happy Fourth of July

We hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!!! Enjoy the day!!

4th of July Invites

Good morning!! All is FANTASTIC here in New England our Bruins won the Stanley Cup (sorry Marlene :(. We are on cloud nine and very sleepy!! Having a house full of males, you can only imagine how my house was last night!

I have 4th of July at my house each year and I like to make invites. This year I kicked it up old school and didn't use the Cricut (gasp, I know). I used stamps, ink, paper and perfect pearls. I have to say I love how they came out. I am entering these in our good friend Rhonda's Decorate to Celebrate blog, http://decoratetocelebrate.blogspot.com/ They have a 4th of July theme going on over there, you need to go and check them out!! Their design team came up with some really cute ideas!
