Challenge #21: Stars & Stripes

As July 4 fast approaches in the USA, I chose Stars and Stripes as our challenge theme this week. Your project can include any kind of star or stripe, it doesn't have to include both and doesn't have to be a patriotic project. Just have fun!

I'm giving away the prize this week and it's a brand new acrylic stamp set by My Favorite Things called Funky Flowers.
Here's what the design team came up with this week to inspire you:

Our guest designer Ann made this stunning card:

Jaime made a fabulous altered clipboard showcasing her cute boys.

Sakia made this adorable baby card:

Deena used a beautiful birthday stamp on her card.

And I (Ali) chose a July 4 theme with this red, white and blue card.

Any crafty creation is accepted and you have until Tuesday June 30 at midnight to post and leave us a link using the Mister Linky Form below, to be entered into our random pick for this week's prize. If Mister Linky isn't working, please leave your link in the comments section.

For those of you uploading to Splitcoastampers please add keyword CCCW21

We can't wait to see what you create - happy crafting!

Challenge # 20-- How does your garden grow?

It is once again my turn to set the challenge this week and all I have been doing lately is planning, planting, and weeding in the garden. So what a better challenge than to see how your garden grows. This can range from what you would find in it, tools, scene, or anything garden.

I am sponsoring this week with some products from CTMH. The stamp set is the current stamp of the month- Tender Tags. The papers is a sampling 6x6 assortment of their current sets.
