A special thank you and July hop winner announced.

Before I get to the winner of the "June is Bustin' Out with Flowers" blog hop, I have to give a big shout out to Lisa at Decosse's Dynamite Doodles and the awesome 4th of July digital paper she made for me and you. :)

This is such a nice story that I have got to share...

I was searching the web the other day looking for FREE (because I'm cheap) digital paper with a 4th of July theme. In my search, I came across Lisa's blog and even though she didn't have any 4th of July paper she did have awesome digital graduation words (click here to see it and download it). I thought her stuff was so awesome that I left her a comment and told her of my fruitless plight.

Well, the next thing I know I get this very sweet email letting me know that she had read my comment, thought about it, and designed a 4th of July paper. They all have red and blue stars but different textured backgrounds so they are very versatile. She also created a maple leaf digital paper for Canada Day.

I thought this such a sweet gesture that I made a card to show the digital paper and here it is.

The stamp is from Oriental Trading and I used my Ranger Distress ink markers to color each section before stamping. I then sprayed with red glimmer mist and added a blue and white bow with twine from My Life in Arts N Crafts. Click on the image to get a better look at the paper and to see the background texture.

Thank you again Lisa.

Now on to our winner...

    That was a wonderful help that Lisa created the background paper...very kind. As a fellow Canadian of hers, I also appreciate that she included us, too. This card turned out really fun. Love the simple flag stamp with the glimmer mist on top. The twine is a sweet detail. Thanks for joining us for our Red, White & Blue challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I look forward to seeing your next creation.
