Patriotic

Finishing up one last card for tonight.  I really wanted to get the Stella Says Sketch done.  I have missed   quite a few challenges  and its time to get back in the swing of things.  I combined that sketch with the Artistic Inspirations Flag Colors challenge.  Die Cutting Divas has a use recycled materials  challenge.  I really had to think about what to use so I dug in the trash to see what I could find.  The best I came up with  was  these small scraps of burlap I had tossed.  I sprayed one white after I cut a scalloped circle out of it.  Then I sprayed a star shaped  piece red.  It's not much but I did recycle something.

Teacher Treat Box

I'm getting ready for the end of the school year.  I have several friends who are teachers and I want to give  them each a small gift  for all their hard work.  I'm not real sure what I'm  going  to put in the boxes yet  but I will come up with something.  Glitter N Sparkle  has a Red and White Challenge this week.

Mixer

I've been  wanting to decorate my  Kitchen Aid  mixer for a while.  Today seemed a  good day since I was waiting for the cookies to bake.  I added this  bright red monogram mixer to the back and will add something else to the base and other  side.  Seemed like a  nice twist for the Give A Crafter a Cookie baking challenge.
