Red, White,Blue and You







This layout is a great way to show off one of your favorite memories from this 

Independence Day! 


Supplies:

12x12 white paper

12x12 red bazzil paper

12x12 dark blue cardstock

1 yd. red, white, blue ribbon

1 yd red & white ribbon

Coordinating “Original” embellishments

1 pkg. of silver star brads

Scenic route “Liberty” chipboard shapes

5x7 photo to coordinate

Striped red and white paper

Lighter rid paper than the bazzil red


1. Begin by making the flag at the top of the page using stripes of paper and ribbon. I used the die-cut to make the perfect star in the left hand corner. Attach Silver Star brad in the center of star, tie a small piece of coordinating ribbon around brad. Attach all to the red bazzil paper.

2. Make a mat for your photo by cutting a border of white paper around the 5x7, follow with lighter red paper

3. Attach chipboard photo corners to the 5x7 photo, attach stars to flag stripes

4. To make ‘Red, White, Blue and You” title use 4” x 6 ½” of white cardstock and mat with dark blue. I used the die-cut machine to spell the work blue. You can use letter stickers if you want.

5. Attach 5 Silver Star brads along the side of the “Red, White, Blue and You” title. Starting at the top, tie red, white and blue ribbon around every other star.
