Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone.  Hope that you are having a safe holiday and a cool one.  Its so hot here even after the pop up thunderstorm that we had.  still hot and muggy.   I have been in kind of a slump on crafting these few weeks.  I started looking at this weeks challenges on some of the blogs that I like and decided I wanted to do the Lasting Memories challenge which is to use Red and White and Blue has your basic colors. http://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com.   I also thought I could enter this in the FCCB challenge which is to make a project with either a firework, sparkler, or a big boom project.  I think this LO  will work. http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com.

The patttern paper is from the Paper Studio paper Pack called All Seasons II  from HL.   I really like this paper stack.   I have done alot of things with this. The star pattern paper that I used for the phot mats is also from paper studio.  this was a single page that I had in my stash.
Carts that i used

STAND AND SALUTE.  First time using this one.  I like the many cuts on it.
4th of July, rockets, fireworks.

 I cut these out in white, then used glitter, (which you can't tell from picutre) to give them sparkle.
I used car Decals for the little boy with flag @ 2"   I'm still learning on this cart. Here is the finished LO  Hope you enjoy looking. Have a safe holiday and enjoy the fireworks displays is you are going to see some.  I'm setting in my living room watching the fireworks on TV.

 Thanks to my good friend Brenda, (Friends Crafting with Friends) she wanted me to enter this also in BBTB2 http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com,  so I  did.   Hugssssssssss  Brenda!!!!
