It is July and that means warm weather and lots of time spent out doors for my family. It also means celebrating for Americans and Canadians. July 1st is Canada Day and July 4th is USA Independence Day. Ponytails Designs has a new kit that can help you to celebrate all these fun events. 
It is called Eh! and is available at Ginger Scraps as part of the Buffet. 
Here is a look at the kit. You can get the parts here






Here is a look at my layout with the kit. 

Happy Scrappin Ya'All!






Make it Monday? Red , White & BOOM!

Happy (almost)4th of  July!
This year I am feeling a little bit more patriotic.
One of my sons is already a Marine, & my other son is a poolee going to bootcamp in January
OORAH!
Just not having as much energy due to my meds this year. I didn't get as much decorating done as I wanted.
but I did put up a little bit.
 Notice my vintage tin marine sign.. got that little beauty half off at hobby lobby.
The america half circle sign I got from the dollar tree last year, the painted tin can and basket was goodwill finds... love them thrift stores!
the printable ,burlap wreath & mason jar I made last year. The we support our troops I recently made.

So as to how this is (uh hmmmm ) Make it Monday, ima gonna share...
First up last years burlap wreath
Last year on pintrest I found these beauties..
And I WANTED one...
I followed the directions found HERE
I didn't use actual burlap I bought some burlapy looking material and used that. My flowers are different ones made out of different fabrics. and my flags I tea stained and pt back on poles.

Next I found these.. yep on Pintrest
I opted to make the flag covered one... but I may make the others for next year..hmm lol
Remember those tea stained flags from my wreath... well those handy little suckers come in a pack of 3!
I got a frosted mason jar from walmart, cuz I liked th look of it, and I already had jute rope laying around. Super easy.. Didn't even need directions lol

For my printable I Saw a really cute subway art printable from 36th ave. I got a cheap frame, painted it red and sanded it in places to make it look shabby.

 Mine
I really like those tin stars but I really didnt wanna buy any lol
when i saw this on pintrest, I thought I'd try it.. it didn't work out how I planned but I still think its cute. I may have to retry it again later

 Her tutorial can be found @ grey luster girl HERE

Now for this years project. Since My sons are in the Marines, I wanted something that said we support our troops. I used two peices of oldwood we had outside. I got cream , Dark red, and dark blue cheapo acrylic paint. and I used a stencil for the troops part.
I painted one peice of wood red and the other blue. I hand painted shabby stars in the blue and stenciled the troops in cream on the red. I then hand painted we support our in black. you couldn't see it very good so I went over it with puffy paint. I may need to go over it with another color or something. you can barely see it on the wall. I used jute to make a holder. and used a smaller peice of wood in the middle to attach the two peices together... Voila.. so very easy!
I used Ponytails designs new kit Eh for all my pictures. this was made for canada day but the colors are very patriotic and I love em lol. so wanted to give Ponytails designs a big shout out!

I have a bunch more projects I would love to make on my pintrest.. here's a few so you can drool too lol
Happy Craftin Ya'All!
