Celebrating the stars and stripes

In recognition of 4th July this week, Jingle Belles decided that we should incorporate stars and/or stripes into our designs.

I expected to go through my stash and come across lots of both but was surprised to see that I have no stars at all in the Christmas section!

I therefore went with the stripes of which I had lots to choose from! I think that almost every single collection I have has one or more to go with and in the end I chose yet another vintage selection from My Mind's Eye.

Oh, how I love MME!

Non traditional colours and a few layers and there you have it.

  7. ps: the little faded snowflake elements on the MME papers are actually kind of star-like, aren't they? (just a little "bonus" cool thing i noticed on second glance!) :)

  12. This is a GORGEOUS card, Lisa. As for MME, BasicGrey has been my #1 favorite since I first saw it in 2004, but as of this year, I think MME is now #1 for me. I don't own a lot of MME, but I still love my old MME papers as much as my new lime twist collection.
