Independence Day

.Are you ready for some true summer colors and fun?  If you said yes, you are going to be really excited about this weeks featured set, Fourth of July Party by Riefka Design!

http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/Independence Day, a national holiday, is celebrated in the U.S. on July 4th. 

I decided to step "out of the box" and alter an easel. It was so easy with these images. Just size and print!

Using Word , I posted the sentiment on the image before printing.I added some Stickles to the stars, ribbon and gems... a nice table decoration for June-July:)
Our design team created some inspiring projects for you showing off this set. Just  click Here to see them.

Materials Used:
Easel: Michael's dollar bin
Images: My Grafico
Stickles, ribbon, gems: Michael's

Thank you for taking the time to visit this blog. I do appreciate all the comments my blogging friends leave:) My follower are near the 200 mark!!! I am so excited. If you like what you see and don't want to miss any projects, please consider becoming a follower:) I hope that I have inspired you to create your own Independence Day project. I plan on making a card or two also,using this set. Remember that you don't need a machine that will cut SVG files. I cut them out with scissors. The nicest part is that these images are precolored so I can spend more time thinking about layouts and embellishments. 

Tomorrow, Summer officially begins,,,but today surely feel like summer with a 90 degree day and oppressive humidity. Who's complaining, most of our year we are cold!! Have a wonderful week. 

Remember,our current challenge at My Grafico is a graduation challenge that you can join in on!  Click HERE to link up your project.
