Congrats to Kathi for LOTW with her patriotic tag. She made this for the RR challenge this month and it is a perfect tag to celebrate the Fourth. I love how she created the rays on her tag and that ribbon is perfect. Love little stars on the ribbon. Great combination of products, Kathi.

This video is a comparison/how to on how to create this canvas. I used a 5x7 canvas and some items from the Swirlydoos Boutique and past kits. I also threw in a few things from my stash.

So, garb your favorite beverage sit back relax and enjoy the video.

I am always up for a new, unique way to make cards so here's a card tutorial for you.

This card has some folds and edge punching to make it different. And, the card stands on it's own.

Congrats, to Hanne for this double pager. I can remember when that was the only way I scrapped. Now, I never think to do it. I want to try it again. How about you?

Great design that showcases all the wonderful pictures that Hanne is known to scrap. I live the banners and the flower clusters scattered around.

Great work, Hanne!
