Layout Tuesdays -- Thank You For Your Military Service

Thank you for joining us for Layout Tuesday. The July collection from We R Memory Keepers has made its way to our store floor, and we couldn't be more excited with its theme. Red, White, & Blue is a mixture of Fourth of July goodness and American pride, and truly is a tribute to our military servants. 

With that in mind, we created this fun layout. Whether you have a specific loved one in mind, attended a parade, or are beyond thankful for your freedoms, this layout and collection would fit. 


The journaling, as well as other embellishments, was cut out of one of the 12 x 12 double sided papers found in this collection. How true and precious are these words:



The airplane was stamped onto the layout with StazOn and is part of a set of 5 clear stamps for only $1.25! The other stamps are clouds and pennants. After stamping the airplane, I drew a line with a black ZIG Writer. Because the pennant stamps are clear, it was extremely easy to position them correctly on the drawn line. 


I stamped the solid pendant a few more times at the bottom of the layout to add the same black to the page and added this date embellishment. The embellishment was cut out from one of the 12 x 12 papers as well! 


The Red, White, & Blue collection contains these adorable mini flags. To mimic the pennants stamped on the top of the layout, I cut off the stick portion of the flag before adhering them to the page. 

 



You can guarantee we'll be sharing many more projects using this great paper and embellishment collection. To pick up any of the pieces for yourself or to be the first to see the whole collection, stop into Creations Galore at 3164 Coronet Way in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

Have yourself a wonderful day... and don't forget to give thanks to a veteran or active military person for the great freedoms we have.
