Patriotic Wreath

Good evening fellow crafters and/or random person (who happened to stumble upon my blog)!   ;)

When looking at a calendar and taking note of the holidays and special occasions, there are several holidays that focus on appreciation for America and those who have served in our military.  When I was making my wreath, I wanted to be able to use it more than once a year; so when deciding on the images I kept that thought in mind.  Here is my finished project...

Materials used: 12 inch wire wreath - Michael's; Tulle - local Sew Store; Cricut - markers & cartridges "Stand and Salute" & "Independence Day"; Cardstock - Stampin' Up, Creative Imaginations, Recollections; Red/White Twine - The Twinery; Ribbon and Fibers - Michael's; Glitter (lots of it) - Martha Stewart.  :)

Dog Tags read: "Support Our Troops" and "Let Freedom Ring"

Give a shout out to my brother who helped me out with how to "bling" the Eagle.  ;)

Well...that's it for now; so until next time...

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!

CHEERS!

My pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge 6

Well...I've realized when I create a card, scrapbook album, scrapbook page, 3D project of some kind...I don't do the simple method.  I take A LOT of time into planning layout, colors, and such; only to have the final product be pretty simple.  Did any of that make sense?!  LOL!

Anyway...this was (unfortunately) my final challenge I was able to submit for National Scrapbook Day over at My Pink Stamper.  I completed a total of 6; which is half.  I hate defeat but according to time on clock and my "day" job, I have to wave white flag.  :(  Errrrrrr!

On that note...Challenge 6 had one specific request...Incorporate a TAG into your project.

Given the recent News about "Public Enemy #1" and reading the theme for this challenge; I thought my layout was fitting.  Hope you enjoy it as well!  :)

Circut Carts used: Stand & Salute and Independence Day 

Embellishments: Stickles, jeweled brads, Twinery, K&Company American Flag dimensional sticker 

The type of TAG I incorporated was a dog tag.  ;)

Hope you enjoyed this one.  :)
