Americana!

Happy 4th of July!!! We have already had a weekend of fun, but our fun will continue today with a family barbeque at the in-laws...woooohooo! If you are looking for a little scrappy fun to celebrate your 4th of July fun, Kraft Outlet has posted a new challenge. This week's challenge is to create a project with a Patriotic or Americana theme. Here is a look at my project...

Brotherly Love



For my layout I used a mix of Jenni Bowlin's paper and embellishments. The red, navy, and white colors really POP against the Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock. To add to the homespun look of my layout, I, of course, added Blue Baker's Twine around the cardstock, in the button, and around the body of the corrugated butterfly. And to the beautiful gold Jenni Bowlin butterfly, I added a couple of Jenni Bowlin Garnet Stick Pins.

To play along with this challenge, check out the post HERE. Hope you have a great holiday!

This is SO beautiful, Frances! Love, love, love your design and all the little details. That layered butterfly is out of this world. Love the wrapped baker's twine and the pin antennae. the kraft and yellow mixed with the patriotic colors just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. FANTASTIC job!
