Happy 4th of July!

Hello! Hostess Tami here on this very Patriotic Day; the 4th of July.

Did you know that Clearsnap products are made right here in the good 'ol USA? They are! How many products do you use that can say that? Look and you'll see "Made in the USA" on the labels.

In celebration of the 4th, I've got a scrapbook layout to share with you. It's of my youngest, Chris, all decked out in RED, WHITE and BLUE!

I used Smooch Spritz, Colorbox Archival Dye Inks, and Stars4You stamp set from The {Stamps} Of Life by Stephanie Barnard, which are ALSO made right here in the US of A!

I started by spritzing pieces of white cardstock, placed in the Color Catcher to catch the mess, with Cherry Ice, Electric Blue and Sea Kiss Smooch Spritz. I then used those spritzed pieces, as well as some white cardstock to stamp the stars and sentiments on. I used ColorBox Archival Dye Ink in Red Devil, Moody Blue, Atlantic Blue, Poolside and Wicked Black.

I used the Archival Dye Inks because I love their bright, vivid colors and how they stamp nice and crisp.

Here's some closeup shots of the details...

I used a white gel pen to add the doodled dots on the black cardstock in the corners.
