On to my project today!  Happy Independence Day to everyone!  My family, not unlike most of you, have felt loss and triumph along with the pros and cons each and every time the fight for our independence has occurred.  I don't want to debate or try to justify anything or anyone else's opinions as this is usually a heated issue!  I do, however, want to say I applaud and give my sincerest well wishes to every family and friend that has OR knows anyone who has served!   So . . . "WITH GRATITUDE";

A Special New Holiday release with Shape EZ
So . . .  the template I used today is called "Spangled Star Card", and the "Spangled Flower".  Spangled Star card is new and available today only at Whimsy Stamps Store in the Shape EZ section.  The Spangled Flower will be release later this month.  The files are all 300 dpi and come in JPEG,PNG,PDF and SVG formats.  This template has some really special cuts, the base and insert dp of course but then the dark blue hole filled cut for another layer of dp too.  Also, the smaller star can be used separately in any of you favorite designs as embellishments.  The choices are endless!  Now, can you invision this as a Christmas project?  Or even a new born sweet baby blue or pink newborn card?  Me too so don't miss the July Whimsy magazine because I think there may be some samples in there!!!  hint hint!
