Let Freedom Ring

I did not have a chance to make a card yesterday in honor of Memorial Day, so I am bringing it to you this morning.  Any day is a good day for red, white, and blue, and to remember the freedoms we are afforded thanks to our service men and women.

I love using the stamp set American Celebration.  It is just that - a celebratory set that speaks volumes all by itself.  I used the Darice stars folder for embossing, a little cranberry ribbon from stash, and some bitty sparkles for highlights.  

I'm entering this into the Cupcake Inspirations challenge along with Fantabulous Cricut Memorial Day challenge (I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the star).

Heart 2 Heart Challenge

We are bringing a new challenge to you this week at Heart 2 Heart, and we want to see what inspires you.  Show us a photo of your inspiration and your artwork.  I am going to love seeing what inspires you!!  I chose this picture that is really fitting for summer:

Red, white, and blue just feels like a fresh summer day to me, so here is what I came up with:

I've used the July Stamp of the Month, American Celebration.  This is one of the best sets.  I love everything about it and how versatile it will be all year round.  I created the toppers by stamping 5 stars for each topper.  I stamped white daisy cardstock with another stamp for the fruit cup.  What a sun way to eat fruit!

Now it's your turn to play with us at Heart 2 Heart!
