HMITM 175

Here in the U.S.A., we're celebrating our Independence Day. In honor of that, I'd like you to use
** elements that include STARS (embellishments, patterned paper, etc.) and STRIPES (ribbon, patterned paper, etc.)

** a flag or banner accent
** and to play off the date we're celebrating, July 4, 1776, use:

7 - brads

4 - four-word title

1 - photo

7 - labels

7 - seven-sentence journaling

6 - patterned papers
Note: Your page can be of any topic or theme--it doesn't have to be about 4th of July. Have fun!

Here is my layout

1 Photo - Josh messing around with his guitar
6 Patterned papers - I cut a Star shape and covered it with strips of 6 different pp scraps for the stripes
7 Brads
Flags/pennants - I cut some pennant shapes that I tucked at the bottom of the star
4 Word title - The large title word was cut from the front cover of a pack of DCWV paper pad the other 3 words I glued onto the the stars
7 Sentences of journalling - I dont have the 7 sentences of journalling shown on he front I have written some on the tag that is tucked behind the photo
7 labels -  now that proved hard but I just about managed to find and fit them on
This is my son who was at the time balancing on the fence that surrounds the decking of the cabin, well needless to say Mr Wobbly fell off shortly after - I hasten to add that no guitars were harmed in this process lol
I really liked how it pops on the black. Hope you like it too
