Stamp Off Patriotic Tree

I hope that you have been checking in on Fridays,

and enjoy our challenges as much as Buffy, Susan and I do!

The challenge for today was a "no-brainer", given that this

is July 4th weekend.  We are pleased and proud to offer

 a patriotic challenge.  I am so grateful to those 

who protect our country, including the military, police,

fire fighters and others who provide security, that we might

enjoy the freedoms that we hold dear.

I don't know what it is.  Perhaps because I have been trying

to diet lately, thoughts of food are an undercurrent in my

brain.  I couldn't get the "American as apple pie" worm

out of my head.  I'd been wanting to do a Swirly Scribbles

Thinlits (p 194) tree for a while.  This card uses a number

of other products, including:

Tree Trunk:  Thoughts and Prayers set on page 52

"Celebrate" sentiment:  Celebrate Today set on page 18

Apples:  Tree Builder Punch on page 188.  I added a couple of glimmer paper apples, to add some sparkle.

Please enjoy a safe and relaxing July 4th holiday!

So now that you've seen my patriotic sample, please hop

over to see the inspirational projects offered by

Susan and Buffy.
