July 4th Celebration

We've got another day of fabulous projects for you so let's take a look at what Adora & Rhonda have created.

Adora Concepcion

I wanted to create a background that will mimic the color contrast of the photo. The red and white polka dots papers I thought was the perfect match. I then embellished the page with a cut out kites as a banner, some buttons and a punch out paper.

Supplies used: Imaginisce; Hello Cupcake Wish Big & Celebrate You paper, Hippity Hop Fly a Kite Paper and Sole Sisters Girl Stuff paper; I-top tool.

Rhonda VanGinkel

The inspiration for this was the leftover "Ladies & Gentlemen" brad daddy that I had made for a different project but was not used.

I pulled some papers from a few of my collections to get a nice variety of red white and blue colors.

We want to wish all of you have very Happy 4th of July!!!

Tomorrow we will have one more project for you in honor of this holiday so please join us!

Monthly Challenge Round 1!

March Madness is the moniker given to the chaos created by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (college basketball) tournaments that traditionally begins the first week of March. This American tradition sends millons of fans into a synchronized frenzy each year due to the concentrated hype surrounding 69 teams vying for college basketball's biggest prize.

While March Madness is a phenomenon typically reserved for the national sports psyche, Imaginisce designers Melinda Spinks and I (Beth Moore) joined forces this month to create a little of that frenzy right here in the Imaginisce papercrafting world.
