Super Sweet Red White & Blue

Hi everyone! I'm super happy to be here with you today at the fabulous Creative Charms blog! I wait eagerly each month for my kit and deal of the month. I love to be surprised with a neat little bag filled with goodies! This month was no exception...both kit and deal are super CUTE!!!

I am using the Deal of the Month: Patriotic Burst! today on my very simple layout and card, along with paper from Nikki Sivils Blueberry Summer Line. I love how Nikki's papers match so nicely with Creative Charms embellishments; a perfect sweet marriage in my book!
I used the big and I mean BIG polka dot brad to center kiss the middle of a little starburst and then topped it with the vintage charm bling, and the beautiful red swiss dot scallop ribbon...all from the Deal of the Month; I especially loved using the gradient gems to highlight the little blueberry border.

Supplies: Bling, Ribbon, Brad, Jewels: June Deal of the Month from Creative Charms

I also made a matching card as I was just having a grand time using all of my red white and blue goodies! I think my favorite part of using Creative Charms is that I always have the perfect accent to top off my project; the red butterfly was the perfect touch to the bow!

Supplies: Bling, Butterfly bead, Ribbon: June Deal of the Month from Creative Charms, Papers by Nikki Sivils Summer Blueberry line, Sentiment stamps by K Andrew Designs Art Stamps (yes that's me! eeek)

I hope you will make sure to hop by my blog and leave me a comment HERE to qualify for my little pick me up treat today...yes you guessed it....the June Deal of the Month!

Make sure you hop over to the Creative Charms store and grab your deal of the month before they are gone; you know it happens every month! Don't be blue because you missed it! Only blueberries look good in that color!
