"Celebrate" with a July Blog Hop

Hope you enjoyed checking out Sheila Bennett's "Celebration" creations, and thanks for stopping by my Scrapi Traci blog for a look at my artwork with July's "Celebration" Stamp Set.

As you probably know by now, the blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around the fabulous participating Close To My Heart consultants. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

Now on to my creations - not just one, not two but three scrapbook layouts using the "Celebration" stamp with the Fanfare kit because I just couldn't not use Fanfare with this stamp set. It's so much fun! Take a look . . .

Celebration Layout #1:  I love how this layout turned out - from the "flag tag" I made to the embossed accents and stamped star dimensional elements.  I finished it off with Fanfare Level 2 Assortment Brads and Blue Collection buttons.  It couldn't have been more perfect that my son's team was the Nationals this past Spring!

Celebration Layout #2 - With this layout, I had fun making my own "Let Freedom Ring" Star paper and stamping with Pacifica in first and second generation.  The small starburst stamp accent is perfect with our circle punch and 3-D tape.  I stamped the big star stamp on the star dimensional elements again (love it!), and I made another tag using the America Stamp and outdoor denim ribbon.  What I love even more about our Blog Hop, is it makes me get my pages done.  I'm excited to have last year's 4th of July scrapbooked even before this year's event! Wahoo!

3rd and Final Layout - I just couldn't stop playing with this stamp set and Fanfare. I created the layout above for one of my Scrapi Day Camps.  It's simple but super fun for the girls!

Well, that's it.  I hope you liked my layouts and that you'll take the time to comment. I'd really LOVE if you'd become one of my followers, to help me increase my numbers!
