So, with the 4th of July (US Independance Day) right around the corner, I am seeing red, white and blue everywhere I look! Check out pinterest and there are tons of decor ideas and in the papercrafting world in general lots of card, scrapbook and other inspiration. There are a few in particular I have loved this week:
- Some yummy mason jar cakes over at Pretty Pink Posh.
- Check out this sweet card over at Beachorado, it makes me want to make strawberry jam!
- Super cute cupcake toppers at Lawn Fawn.
- Various super fun DIY stuff on this fun blog.
I've also been inspired by this weeks challenge over at The Alley Way Stamps. Check out this fun image!!! (BTW- it also makes me want some cookies! Have any to share?! No seriously, I am hungry! HA!) Since I now have two of the TAWS sets, one of which I won via a random drawing over there (THANKS Allison!) and the other I purchased because it had a big-foot stamp. You may remember my post- You had me at Yeti... consequently this is the same post that won me the free set- yeah! Anyway, I used one of my brand new sets Tropical Hideaway to make this card. Such a fun set it has the perfect feel for a summery challenge with 4th of July colors. I used a tag from Basic Grey Kneehighs and Bowties which was perfect for this card.
I have some more patriotic colors and cards to share this week and next, so please come back by! Happy almost Friday!
PS- it is release week over at TAWS and Paper Smooches- wahoo!

Such a fun tropical card! Love what you've done! It's going to be a scorcher for the next couple of days...ugh. We're off to the SAM today.
this is a challenge I really want to play! Hoping to squeeze it in.... this card is PERFECT! Love how it's red/white/blue and summery but not so much patriotic in spite of the color palette! I just ordered my forst TAWS sets ever, can't wait for them to get here! :)
You rocked this Katie! I love those surfboards and your take on the inspiration pic. Awesome! Thanks for playing with us at TAWS :)
This is so summery and fun!
