Cooking with Cricut Challenge #93

Cooking with Cricut Challenge #93 - Happy Birthday USA

Happy Independence Day!! It's another Challenge Wednesday here and over at COOKING WITH CRICUT ! This week we all incorporated red, white and blue in our projects. I chose a simple card that I made using the Independence Day seasonal Cricut cartridge. I made the theme a little different in that I highlighted the gift we have been given through our independence - FREEDOM! May we never forget the sacrifices of those who have gone before us!

Have fun celebrating today but don't forget to head over to COOKING WITH CRICUT to link up your own red, white and blue project for a chance at a great prize!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the fro...

If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn . She is our wonderful host for this hop! On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX. What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!
