The theme for this month is red, white and blue (celebration) the project must have these colours anywhere and anyhow and if you wish be for a celebration (not compulsory) Chosen by our host this month who is Toni and that is where the Blog hop starts.
Happy Independence Day
There will be 2 spot prizes from 2 mystery blogs all you need to do is leave a comment to be in for a chance of a spot prize
For my project this month I choose One Small Step, very apt I thought and as it is coming up to Grandson Jacks 2nd Birthday it was the perfect card for him.
I decided I could do any other today than the Star Spangled Banner it being July 4th.
Next up is our Guest Designer Tammy and she has been working with us for a month now and has created some fabulous cards so hop on over and remember to leave comments at all of the DT blogs.
Here is the order of the Hop just in case you get lost along the way.

Class now Filled
I just popped in to let you know that I have 1 place left on my Promarker Master class to be held on 20th August at Imag-e-nation in Tyne and Wear I thought I would pop in on here just in case you fancied coming along.
It will run from 10am until 3pm lunch and refreshments will be provided.
We will not be making a card, I want to fit as much technique in as possible.
The class will focus on blending skills, colouring skin, colouring hair, shading and shadows and background work.
6 Promarkers and a technique DVD will be included in the cost of the lesson. I was going to do some information sheets but I think sometimes visual is much better to learn from and the DVD will enable people to watch at their leisure and practice.
Contact me at jakheath@gmail.com for more information.
Tomorrow Morning I will be doing a Blog Hop with Just Inklined, stop by for some fabulous inspiration.
SUMMER set lip to earth's bosom bare,
And left the flush'd print in a poppy there;
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puff'd it to flapping flame
Coloured with copic markers, card aribrushed in the same colours then debossed using the Cuttlebug Stylised Flowers embossing folder, lace and pearl pin from Dainty Paperie, ribbon and sentiment stamp from Papertrey Ink. poppy digi stamp from Sketching Stamper
I’ve had this idea in my head for a couple of days, looking for the image that would fit the card, I knew how the finished layout would look but couldn’t fit the image, then whilst tidying my craft room I came across the stamp set Hopeful Thoughts from Stampin Up
It has been a while since I had stamped and embossed so I really enjoyed doing this, not a Copic or Promarker in sight.
Are you singing along? I’m hoping one of the artists at Just Inklined reads this as he’ll be singing it all day long if he does.
Tulip Jug by Just Inklined coloured with Promarkers by Letraset I used the funky fold card I dont know who made the original template for the card but if you google it you’ll find loads.
Card from the front.
Card from the side
Oh this was a devil to photograph, the butterflies that look black on the acetate are actually silver foiling but I’m sure you’ll get the gist of it.
The image is called Summer and is a digital Stamp by Funky Kits.
Coloured with Copic Markers and cut out with the long rectangle nestabilities by spellbinders and the dots are Dainty Dots from Dainty Paperie
After an early start this I have to admit falling asleep after dinner and forgetting to do the draw until now.
The lovely Ang at Dainty Paperie has offered up a wonderful package for our winner and here it is.
Ohh you are going to love these.
