My Grandson actually rode one!!

I found this cut on A Child's Year and it brought back so many memories. My Grandson had a fire engine car when he was young that he rode all around the yard. He is 17 now, riding toys are way over. Now he drives motorcycles and cars. I kinda wish he was 3 again! Here's my card.  I found a few challenges still using red,white,and blue, or summer fun. Listed below.

This a A2 card. The solid papers are all American crafts.  The checked paper is DCWV.  The little flowers are a EK Success punch, and the little pearl in the center I made with a Viva Decor pearl pen in cream. If you haven't tried this stuff it's pretty cool.

I will be putting this card in the following challenges:

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #117: Red, white, and blue

Paper Playtime #49: Red,white, and blue

The Pink Elephant Color Challenge #106: Red,white,and blue
Getting Cricky Challenge: Summer-Time Fun

The 4th of July is Coming Soon!

I made this card in honor of the 4th of July. I love all the holidays that honor or countries Heroes.  Men and women who do the hard but most worthy job of being in our military. Whether peace time or war they deserve our gratitude. So any time you see a soldier remember to say thank you for your service, and shake their hand, or touch their shoulder if they don't have one.

 

This is a really easy to do card. It is mainly layers of paper, the yellow paper has stars all over it, the blue mat is cuttlebugged, some buttons, a little gingham  ribbon and the image is from A Child's Year cartridge. I did cut some red to put on the flag the little boy is waving, and a blue star on top of the little wagon flag, it's hard to see but it's there:)

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Sunny Days of Summer

Over at Bitten by the Bug 2, the challenge is:  Celebrate with Flourish, Sunny Days.
At  The Kraft Journal, their  challenge is:  Welcome Summer.  The Celebrate the Occasion challenge is: Celebrating Summer.  So I made this simple little card using  Doodlecharms and Create a Critter for these challenges.I'm so sorry the color doesn't show up in the picture. I need lessons in how to take a picture!!

I tried a new paper technique (for me) with this card. I cut several 2" strips of paper, cut them diagonally to make triangles and glued them at a angle on cardstock 3 3/4"x 5", then trimmed around  it, to look like a sunburst. Wrapped some green twine and knotted.  Then glued it on top of the white layer. It was really easy, and I used a lot of scraps, but very time consuming. I used the Cuttlebug on the green square under the phrase. Learning new things is fun, but this is not something I will do a lot.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day week-end.
