Yankee Doodle DANDY Layout

Hello fellow crafters!  Today I'm sharing a one-page layout I made using a past Freebie File from Cuddly Cute Designs.

I titled my layout "Yankee Doodle DANDY", and once you see the photograph you'll know why LOL!  My daughter sent me this picture of my grandson while they were at a Fourth of July parade in Portland, Oregon.  As soon as I saw him in that hilarious hat and holding two American flags, I knew EXACTLY which cutting file would go perfectly with it.

I used the hat and flag from the "4th of July Mouse" pattern and proportionately "bumped" them up in size to fit my background paper better. See, I told you they would be perfect LOL!

I designed my title and also printed the small journaling circle and then used my 1-1/4" circle punch and 1-1/2" scallop punch to make it.  The Fourth of July sticker embellishment came from my stash.

In case you're interested, here is what the entire "4th of July Mouse" pattern looks like:

It's available on the Cuddly Cute Designs website under the "Past Freebies $1" link.

I just love how this layout turned out!  It's definitely going to be one of those that makes me smile every time I look at it!

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time...Happy Scrapping!

Fourth of July Layout

Happy Fourth of July everyone!  Yesterday a fantastic new FREEBIE was posted by Cuddly Cute Designs... the 4th of July Mouse.  First of all, I couldn't believe this amazing file was a FREEBIE, and secondly, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this and play!

Here's what the file from CCD looks like:

And here is my layout I created using this file:

I used some glitter paper to cut out most of my pieces and just love how they turned out.  Lots and lots of *S*P*A*R*K*L*E* -- perfect for the Fourth of July!

Here's a closer look at the pieces:

These firework bursts and stars are from the Patriotic Bears file, also by Cuddly Cute Designs.

I really love these bright colors on the softer blue background paper; really makes the paper pieces "pop"!  The heart with the "God Bless America" tag attached to it is an older sticker style embellishment that I had in my stash. The ivory colored heart perfectly matched the red and ivory borders on my paper so it was a win-win -- a perfect match AND I used something old from my stash!

If you haven't already, be sure to visit the Cuddly Cute Designs website HERE and click on the ***FREEBIE*** button to get your very own 4th of July Mouse file.  But act fast... this file will be FREE for a limited amount of time!

Thank you for stopping by; I hope you enjoyed seeing my Fourth of July layout and that you have a great holiday weekend!  

Until next time... Happy Scrapping!
