4th of July Layout - A Child's Year

I am so glad that I am on the Bitten by the Bug Design Team.  It gives me lots of incentive and makes me strive to try new formats and projects.  I finally am getting to the 4th of July layouts from 2012.    This week, Michelle is leading the challenge "Independence Day", and I have to show off.  My first layout is of my granddaughter trying to figure out what to do with sparkler boxes and just being darn cute.  I used A Child's Year for the icons, and Carousel for the wording.  I put a non-Cricut cardboard die cut from my stash for color and had a flag sticker just the right size to add bling to the boy with wagon.

The 2nd layout was easy to put together.  I really like the overlays on the Artbooking cartridge, so I cut it almost at maximum size.  I got an idea to put red stripes behind the overlay, giving it an American flag look.  The pictures are of my husband, the grandma-in-law, and myself all with the grandbaby.

Come on over to BBTB2 and link up your 4th of July project or layout.

  2. I think both of these layouts are sooo amazing! The pics are so sweet and so is that beautiful grand daughter! I love those silhouettes from Child's year and how you added the flag sticker. The overlay on the Artbooking layout is so pretty and it was such a good idea to use the red and white color behind it! Nice job!!
