Red, White, & Blue!!!

We invite you to link up all your red, white, & blue projects!!

Let's not forget about prizes!  Every linky party will have sponsors & a winner, plus a Top 3!  The winner will be announced on a semi-weekly basis.  The more projects you link up, the more chances you have to win!!  Sponsors will be announced at the beginning of every linky party.

The awesome sponsors for this linky party are:


CDD - one stamp set


My Scrap Chick - $10 gift code

Here is what I created for this linky party!

I wanted to try a CAS card.  I'm not too sure if it's actually a CAS card, but hey, it works for me!  (:  My flag came from the Sil Store.  I used some Trendy Twine for my bows.  I used the "Happy" sentiment from the Destination Fun stamp set.  I just masked off the "Campers" portion.  The "Independence Day" is from the Celebrate Freedom stamp set.  I ended up putting my flag on a kraft card base because it kept "blending in" on a red, white, or blue background.

Linky parties are open from Monday at 12AM Arizona MST thru Sunday 12PM Arizona MST.

Any projects you submit must be linked to your blog or online gallery.

Projects must be NEW, no back linking, please.

And now for my project....

I decided to make a Project Life layout using the new Destination Fun stamp set!  My family & I traveled to the Grand Canyon & the Hoover Dam last summer for our vacation.  These stamps were PERFECT for my layout!  

I stamped the sentiments directly onto my photos.  Here are some close ups of the stamps.

My youngest daughter "read" the map for us so, needless to say, we got lost a few times.  (:

This is one of my favorite pictures of the girls on our trip.  Another one of my favorites is one of them at the Hoover Dam.  The wind was blowing when I was taking their picture & Lorelai had crazy hair!  (:  Let me share it w/ you guys just for fun.  (:

Isn't the Grand Canyon absolutely gorgeous?!?!?!?  I'm so glad we decided to visit there!  I cut the side tab from one of the brochures we brought home w/ us from the visitor center.  I can't wait to finish documenting the rest of our trip!  We had such a blast & can't wait for the next one!  

Next up on the Line Up is the amazing Glora.
