Let Freedom Ring-Tip of the week

Our Susie has been a busy little crafty bee........uh, wait, she is ALWAYS a busy little bee, what was I thinking?!  But, because of this not only has she whipped up some adorable layouts and cards, but she has asked me to be her blog proxy today, so, here I am again, blogging away!

 This layout uses the new Peebles line "Let Freedom Ring".  It is a super cute patriotic line with a kraft base.  Very neutral and versatile so it can be used throughout the year!  Pictured above is a one page layout, or maaaaaaaybe two page, you just have to stay tuned.   She also used the exclusive Scrap Happy star die that should be in stores this week!  Aren't they stinkin' cute?!  Another important thing to note is the stamping.  If you aren't tired of hearing us tell you, Scrap Happy has their own exclusive line of stamps, also.  The featured ones are from the 4th of July set2 available in store and online and they are made to coordinate with the star dies AND the banner dies!  If you look closely, you can see patterns on some of the stars, well that is from our stamp set, too, they are SO CUTE!  The "happy Fourth" sentiment is also from the set.

Here is one of the cards that she made, sweet, simple, and to the point.  You can see the stamping on the back, "Made in the USA", and that is, both our stamps and Susie and her card!  ;)  I bet you can't guess where the stamping is on the front of the card?!

Okay, have you figured it out?  If not, here is a 

BEFORE

and now here is the

AFTER

 That little circle and star stamp fit perfectly into the space on the patterned paper!  So cute and what a sweet little added touch.  Making ones own patterned paper makes your stash of paper and stamps go even farther!  What a great tip for today!

That is it for today, stay tuned for week two of design team projects and the weekly newsletter!

Until next time,

Have a Scrap Happy Day!
