Red White and Blue for Digi Haven

I hope everyone one had a Happy and Safe

4th of July Celebration

 

We certainly did...

The afternoon started with lunch and beer at a local Irish Pub, outdoor seating

Then watching a 4th of July parade

We took a walk around a little lake and park in the late afternoon

Next stop...

Another park where we listened to a live band while waiting for the fireworks display to start

 

Just a great day hanging with the hubster

 

Now that we are home - it's 11:00 p.m. and I need to write this blog entry for Friday morning

 

My share today is for the Design Team at Digi Haven

 

Our theme for this fortnight challenge is RED, WHITE and BLUE

Please remember to use a digital image  or sentiment in your creation

You can read the rules on "How to Play" HERE

 

I decided to make a 4th of July rosette to hang as a decoration

 

My FREE sentiment can be found HERE

 

 

My inspiration came from a tutorial I found on You Tube - which I adapted to make a smaller size
as well as adding my own finishing touches
 

Pattern paper from Bo Bunny - Anthem
Kraft paper from My Favorite Things
Large Doily die cut - Martha Stewart Crafts  found HERE
Stars were cut from Cricut cartridge - George & Basic Shapes - page 115 <star1> at 2 1/2"
Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Tea Dye
Finished my project with Red Rhinestones, Wooden star buttons tied with navy blue fibers
And last of all - used Raffia with Red and Blue fibers for the hanging

 

Part One

 

 

When you are finished watching Part One...you can watch Part Two

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my share today, as well as the tutorial
