Celebrate the Red, White & Blue

Once Again "Hello":

I wanted to participate in the ColorQ  & STAMPtacular Sunday Challenge this week. I hope you are not tired of seeing the trimming I picked up in the ATL last month, but I just simply love it. When I see it, the trimming just reaps 'Let's Celebrate.' It's not a lot to this card, but usually simplistic cards are the best. This will be my first entry for a challenge over at ColorQ and STAMPtacular Sunday. I have been eyeing them for some time now and I just thought I would throw my card into the mix. Just below is the inspirational photo and requirements for the challenges this week...

This week's challenge is a…

“STARS & STRIPES!”

For this weeks challenge you will create a card or project that includes both STARS and STRIPES! Can be any colors you choose but must be able to see stars and stripes! Oh…and don’t forget to stamp! After all, we don’t call this STAMPtacular for nothing!

Nice colors huh? Well, this is what I created from those nice colors.....

It's a fun whimsical card that's even more vibrant in person. Notice how the words, 'We the People' runs right into 'Celebrate' and did you take note of how my trimming mirrors strips? I love it! Well, thanks for taking the time to stop by The Peddler's Gallery and come back real soon.

Happy Hellos Everyone:

I hope your Friday has kicked off to a terrific start. Once again this week, I have another brief post to share with you. Today's card is all about this week's challenge over at Waltzing Mouse. I really wanted to participate in this week's challenge. We were asked to look at the past 50 sketches over the last year. Select our favorite and create a card from the sketch of your choice. Easy Right??? Wrong. After looking over all the sketches, I couldn't determine a favorite so, I just selected one. Below is the sketch I selected. I also decided to enter this card in The Ribbon Reel challenge after recieving a comment from one of the DT members--thanks Pauline!

...and this is my creation....
