love to all and happy 4th to those celebrating in the US.

happy independence day to all my friends in the US.  here is a tag with a vintage image and designer background paper by gecko galz.  the statue of liberty represents hope to many and that was the inspiration for this piece.

i'm entering this piece into the scraps of color challenge #10 "red, white and blue" and to the gecko galz papercrafting challenge group on facebook july challenge "red"

i also want to tell you about a giveaway at the "old enough to be a kid" blog but there is only a bit more time left to enter.  see more about that here. 

love and hope to all.

from the past...

new challenge time at the cheerful stamp pad.  our challenge sponsor vintage image craft invites us to create a vintage-themed project  and since we are getting very close to independence day in the US we are also featuring patriotic vintage images.

the image here was a free download from vintage image craft's facebook page. she is such a happy patriotic girl that i chose a vibrant designer paper and a border of stars for her.  i handwrote "celebrate freedom" on a wavy sticker border.

the challenge runs for two weeks so i hope you'll consider joining!
love to all.
