Happy Fourth of July!

Hello fellow scrapbookers!

I hope all my US subscribers are enjoying a relaxing Independence Day! For everyone outside the US, I still hope you have a great July 4th! I am such a patriotic person. In fact, my wedding colors were red, white and blue! I love to decorate with our nations colors, too. Once, I had a party at my home and the "game" was a list of about 30 things in my home that were patriotic in nature. Guests had to figure out the clues and write down what each item was! It was a blast!

Now, just because you're not an American, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy some of my patriotic/Independence day titles! Hope everyone enjoys these!

Land That I Love
Friends Like You Make Life "Sparkle"
Let Freedom Ring
I Love This Land
God Bless America, My Home Sweet Home
Fireworks Are Scary (will have to use this one for my girls!)
Fireworks Frenzy

Here are a few quotes to fill up some empty spaces...

"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." ~Dick Cheney

"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." ~Abraham Lincoln (WOW!! That's an awesome quote!!!)

There is no such thing as being too independent. ~ Victoria Billings
(This one would be cute for a layout of a toddler trying to do something all by themselves, wouldn't it?)

Ok...now for my question of the week! I was wondering if there was ONE or TWO things in your scrapbook stash that you just couldn't do without, what would they be? Now, to make it easier, don't include paper/cardstock, paper trimmers/scissors, pen, or adhesives. Now, if there is something extra special about these things, you can list those, but I just wanted to make it easier!

For me, I'd have to say I would not be able to do without my chalks or my new acrylic stamps. I have been in love with chalks ever since I got some. I love the Pebbles I-Kan-Dee ones. I have the brights and pastels. Now, stamping is something fairly new to me, but I really like how easy they are to use and how you can see what you're about to do! Love that!

Alright, now, if you've been looking for an inexpensive scrapbook related eBook with lots of great ideas, you've got to check this out. Why not treat yourself this week to some great scrapbooking ideas?

Have a great week!
