Decorate to Celebrate Challenge ~ 4th of July

Welcome my crafty friends!

Rhonda of Scrap Happens with Rhonda and Amy of Love to Crop have teamed up to start a new challenge blog... Decorate to Celebrate.

It's all about "Decorations to Celebrate" an occasion. Cakes, Banners, Boxes, Goody Bags, etc.

I am so excited that today I have been asked to be a Guest Designer!! The theme I was asked to work with is "4th of July"

On the 4th of July my family spends the whole day down at a huge park eating, listening to music, and other live entertainment until it gets dark and we can watch the amazing fireworks. Well, this year I decided to make my kids some goody bags full of mini coloring books, crayons, glow sticks, candy, etc so that they wouldn't get bored. (There is nothing worse then bored kids when the adults are trying to catch up. LOL)

For these bags I cut the "fireworks" and "4th of July" from the "Stand and Salute" cartridge. I on purpose did not line up the layers because I wanted more of the red to show through. I added ultra fine glitter to the white layer for lots of sparkle. The area was too big to use Stickles. :)

Here is a close up of one of the bags.

For the bag topper I used Diamond Stickles for the sparkle. I doodled with my gel pen and added bows to the corner made out of twine from "Divine Twine".

I just want to say a Huge thank you to Rhonda and Amy for inviting me to be their guest, please head over to their Blog - Decorate to Celebate and be inspired by all the fabulous creations.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!!
