FCCB Challenge #66: Happy 4th!

It's time for another challenge at FCCB and today we are celebrating the 4th of July which is right around the corner :)  I had a good time putting this card together but alas I am being way too hard on myself!  I had intended to leave the words white with some inked edges...well my sponge had other ideas and I ended up covering the whole thing versus just the edges.  I used Designer's Calendar for this card and I really like the font for this.  I LOVE, LOVE the punch I used.  It is from M's and is part of the American Girl collection...while I don't enjoy the AG collection (shhhhh I don't mean to be mean but those doll kinda creep me out!!)  I LOVE this punch!  Oh and did I mention it was on clearance?!?! :)

I hope you join us for this challenge!  Please use red, white and blue in your projects!!!  And as always please include atleast one Cricut cut!!!  I can't wait to see what you have created :)

Hip To Be Square!

Hi Everyone!   I am so glad you are able to join me for another FCCB Challenge! The challenge today is to create a project that is a square...and for an extra added twist use green and gold!  I had a ton of ideas running through my head-- all through grade school, jr. high and high school my school colors were green and gold so I that was the first option I considered-- but after much cutting and a little frustration--NOTHING was working for me!  




So I decided to create a square card in honor of Saint Patrick's Day!  I really love how this card turned out and it was super easy to put together.  I used mainly solid color paper from Stampin' Up and the gold glittery piece of paper is from We R Memory Keepers--from a  "Foil Glitter Flock" adhesive rub on kit-- NO clue if these are still available or not.  I picked mine up ages ago for a $1.00 at a discount store here in town.  But I love the glitter--I've never tried the other pieces in the kit :)
