CCM Saturday Blog Hop - Red, White, Blue and Blessed

 Good Morning, Stampers!

The Create with Connie and Mary team is back this week

celebrating the good ol' Red, White and Blue.  We 

are truly blessed to live in the Land of the Free and the

Home of the Brave! Happy Independence Day!

 The American flag toothpick is just the right size for 

for this sweet little hippo to show off his patriotism proudly!

I've paired the Hippest Hippo stamp set along with the

Alphabest stamp set for a more customized card.

Of course, no card is complete without a little bling, too!

I custom-colored Basic Rhinestones using Real Red, Night

of Navy and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends to 

add a little sparkle to the stamped stars.
