Celebrate With Billy! Blogger's Challenge a few hours early.

So many things to celebrate!

Fist and foremost our FREEDOM! Thanks to everyone who has or is fighting to preserve this for all of us. We are forever grateful!

Next is FREE STAMPS -- not quite as important in the grand scheme of things but to me and my tight budget this is HUGE. I won this wonderful set -- Dress Up Billy -- from Pink Cat Studio! How cool is that! I figured I better make time to use him so I can send a proper Thank You to Melissa. You can check out the Pink Cat Blog here -- such fun stuff!

Also it is Friday (almost) so that means another Blogger's Challenge. The challenge this week was to use color blocking. I decided to combine it with the Design Team sketch challenge on the Pink Cat Studio blog -- seems appropriate, right. So without any more jibber jabber here is my card.





This really was a fun card to make, I will be using this set again and again.
Thanks again Melissa!
I did a ton of paper piecing on this. And his sparkler is created with the handle of the hammer and the little stars that were punched out of the border.

Stamps: Dress Up Billy (Pink Cat Studio), Warm Words (Stampin Up!) and The celebrate is Hero Arts -- don't know which set it was on my desk top looking lost, lol.
Paper: Blue Bayou, Ruby Red and Whisper White card stock along with the Western Sky DP
Other: Blue Bayou double stitch ribbon and a border punch from McGill.

Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July if you are in the U.S. and just a plain old ordinary GREAT day elsewhere. Thanks for stopping by today.
