I have a party scheduled in Chariton, Iowa on Friday, July 16th. The hostess is Jeri (Hi, Jeri!). Well, she has asked for a layout, since most of the guests are scrapbookers and a couple cards. She really liked my stampin' pastels and blender pen tutorial and would like me to show them this technique too. I am still brainstorming on that project.
Yesterday, I finished the layout we will be creating at her party. Don't ya just love that Uncle Sam? I got that idea from
Kelly at A Stamp Above. She created this Uncle Sam for a punch art blog hop. His mustache, nose and eyebrows are made with the two-step bird punch. I loved it, and knew I wanted to incorporate it on the July layout for Jeri's party. I only made a couple changes to mine. Thanks, Kelly!
Here is a close-up of Uncle Sam.
I was hoping these are obvious. They are supposed to be firecrackers. My son, Tate said they looked like firecrackers, so I left them alone.
