Happy 4th

Good morning!

Blogger on Tuesday wouldn't let me post this. So

I'm back again trying to post this one for you.

Over at 2 Cute Rubber Stamps DT Blog our challenge

is to make a RED, WHITE and BLUE creation or two.

I've also combined this theme with Inspirational Card Sketches #121.

2 Cute Rubber Stamps is sponsoring ICS#121 this week and you

could win either 1 Rubber Stamp or 2 digi images of your choice.

But the cool thing is you can win the same at 2 Cute Rubber Stamps DT Blog Challenge.

Jump on over to an do both challenges and get started. We'd love

to see what you can do at both challenges. Or combine them.

Thank You (CCC125 / CP121)

Well it's that time of the year again when we usually have LOTS of extra people to thank - teachers, coaches, the traffic patrol staff, or maybe a friend, a nurse - it's always nice to say thank you and of course be thanked!! So let's see your beautiful thank you projects for this week challenge over at Crafty Creations Challenge Blog! We are sponsored this week by In 2 Stamps and have a fabulous prize on offer for one lucky player!  So who will YOU thank this week - join us for your chance to win!
