Hi everyone! I hope you all are having a great week so far! My family and I are away on vacation in Lancaster,PA, Amish Country! Boy do I need this vacation too?! We are going to an Amusement Park called Dutch Wonderland, but our beautiful hotel actually has an indoor water park inside of it! So, I'm sure the kids won't want to leave it to go to the amusement park! (And neither will I probably!!) But we'll see! I'll post some pics when I get back!
This week's super fun challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is to create a card with a Sport or Patriotic theme. With the Summer Olympics starting soon and the 4th of July coming in the States, we figure this would get you all in the spirit!! Can't wait to see all of your inspiring creations!!
This week the Simon Says DT is featuring products by Cuttlebug! I love my Cuttlebug Machine! So easy and convenient to use! I ran both the Swiss Dots and Folder Stars Embossing Folders through my Cuttlebug. The large multicolored star on the front is also by Cuttlebug. It is an old die that I had for quite some time.
The papers are by Authentique from the Glory 6x6 Paper Pad. I also used lots of Liquid Pearls in White Opal.
And, don't forget, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
Have a great day everyone!!

I'm about an hour away from Lancaster County. We just took a day trip there last weekend--love it! If you've never been there, you'll have to try Shady Maple Smorgasbord! Love your card and especially the star background.
I had seen your patriotic card on SSS blog, and thought it was really cute. I hope to be able to enter this week. Seems like life is just SO busy lately. Thanks for the inspiration!
