Just a Few Friends, STARS & STRIPES

Hello friends!!! Ready to Celebrate Independence Day??? I am so ready not only to celebrate and enjoy the company of family and friends, but to honor those who have fought and those who are still fighting for our Freedom. May God Bless them all and keep them safe today and always...and I'm so happy to have a friend over to spend the day with us.  We are gonna make a few cards, eat and maybe go catch the fireworks later that evening! What are you all going to do?? I hope one thing on your list will be to prowl around all the Dens along with us, Just a Few Friends. We have grown!! We now have 5 new cubs in the Den who are now ready to show you their creations. We hope that what we have created will inspire you to take lots of pictures this holiday and scrap them on your spare time!! (wink wink) ...Our mini hop starts here with me...so lets me show you what I created...a Layout! using solid cardstock, no designer paper here! I did use a floral stamp to make my stripes and hand cut my stars, since our theme was STARS&STRIPES! I used lots of I am Roses and recollections petals and the bling completes my project! I hope you like it! Can't wait to take that one special picture that will fill in the now empty photo mat. Watch the video HERE, there are lots more pictures for you to view... ok here goes...

 Let me know what you think, drop me a comment or two or three! lol

Have a very happy and SAFE 4th of July!!!

IAR Design Team project -- WATER CAN PIN CUCHION

I've had this little sad tin water can for years now and its day finally came! I painted it, added some beautiful IAR flowers, some trim, lace, pearls and presto...not so sad anymore eh? I really liked how it turned out!!! I have been on a pin making kick and this will house the pins I wanna ...ummm...hoard? lol nahh lets use the word "collect' or the pins I want to "admire" better huh? lol

The Prides Fathers Day Prowl

HI everyone!!! So excited with this months post!!!!!  The PRIDE has been busy and we are all so excited to announce that we have adopted 4 new Cubs!! 3 female and 1 male cub!!! YAY!!!

They are Margaret, Tina, Bon and Rj!!! Check out their bio in the "Meet the PRIDE" blog. These new friends come from all over the place and have been busy trying to learn all the ins and outs of our den!  But even though they are quit new at it, they managed to create this month's project!!! whooo hooo!!

This month holds a very special holiday...Father's Day!!!  So we all decided to post a week early to give everyone a chance to get inspired and create something home made...something with heart and from the heart! Instead of buying a store bought card!!! booo! (hehehe)   So now 9 strong, The Pride has all the following projects to get your mojo going!!!

This is my project...I created a Tag/mini album/Gift CARD holder! lol yeap combined all 3 into one cute little package. I used Graphic45 paper from several different collections, some recollection bling and 7gypsy stickers!! and NO flowers!!! I TELL you this was a very,VERY hard project for me. It was hard to keep it on the "Flower down low"!!! lol   

So what you think??? Would love to hear from you....
