Paper Cutz Challenge #98

This week at Paper Cutz they are having a Star Spangled Banner Blog Hop! And on top of that, Paper Cutz site is giving away the Cricut Summer Collection Luau cartridge!! Now I don't have this one and would so love to win it! You have up to two chances to win. Leave your name and email addy in the comment section for one chance and join in on the challenge for a second chance. The challenge goes until midnight EST Thursday, July 7th so their is still time to enter. I'm going for the 2 chances. The challenge is to make a banner suitable for hanging for the Fourth of July with lots of bling and using any colors you'd like. Now I almost didn't do this challenge. I have no need for a banner because we don't have gathering very often. Then I decided to make a card. I can display it if I want. And I totally forgot to bling it up! I decided not to go back and redo anything on my card. I don't think it would look right with bling all over it. Hope it is okay!! I went with the Independance Day cartridge for the banner flags and the 1776. I didn't use my Gypsy Girl for this card. I was updating her and wanted to get it made, so I just cut everything at 2 1/2 inches and went with that. I cut the 1776 in both the red and blue, off centered them and glued them together alternating the top color. The two designer papers are from K and Company-Primary Designer Paper Pad. The twine I used for the banner is from Papertrey Ink. Hop over and take a look at what the DT did with this challenge and enter for a chance to win. Hope ya'll like my card!!! :)
