Congrats! You'll be receiving a $5 gift card from ACOT.
------------------
The United States will celebrate our Independence on the Fourth of July which is tomorrow and I want to honor that by using the colors of our great country. **This does NOT have to be a patriotic layout!**

For your first challenge you must use Red, White, and Blue on your work. Other colors are o.k. as long as they are minimal.
Here's my example and I used the Bella Blvd. 'All American' line.

We Adore You!

Hope you have FUN with this!

I've mentioned this before but if you don't know I will be on vacation at Cocoa Beach, FL from July 6th - 13th and I'll catch back up here when we return.

For the fine print....
This can be paper, digi, card, or a project. All work must be new. You may combine this with one other regular July Challenge that allows that. Please link your work here along with the "Guest Challenge #1 Folder" in the gallery. Deadline is July 31st. A random winner will be selected by me for a $5 gift card provided by ACOT!

Gorgeous layout!

I love your page!!!

WONDERFUL challenge and layout!! I've been working on July's Ad challenge (red,white,blue + pinwheel) so this is a GREAT fit!!

GREAT Challenge Deanna!!! I was just looking through some old photos I have of one of my grandsons. He is almost 13. I found a couple of photos of him when he was a baby on July 4th. They will make a perfect layout for the colors you chose.

Sounds wonderful!

I added a little tropical flair for Red, White, and Blue!! These photos were from us on the deck of the Disney Dream seeing Nassau Bahamas in view and Atlantis Resort!!! I was so giddy and couldn't believe it was coming near as we had seen nothing but water for the entire day/night before!

Scanner shadowed it unfortunately so the brilliant blues and reds do not showcase. But that's what I get using pop dots and making things stand out on a page!! lol!

We were there in 2004 and it truly is a spectacular view coming up to it by ship! I like the papers you chose for this tropical page! I understand about the scanner, mine does the same thing! Thanks so much for taking my challenge, Carissa!

Here is a layout that has been ready to piece together for a couple of years. It's one I carried to crops and never took the time to do. I'm so glad I waited!! I am combining the Ad challenge to your "color" GD challenge this month!

Here's mine!

I love the quote you used along with the flower cluster. That's how I always was growing up. LOVED reading and I still read a good bit. Thanks a bunch for doing my challenge, Carla!

Mine's patriotic, but is about everyday life.

I've been looking for a reason to use this red white and blue digi kit! Thanks for the motivation!

HI Deanna, I hope it's OK to submit this one, I did it in June and it's been in my gallery but did not submit to any challenges yet, let me know if not OK and I'll remove it.
Lily Bee Double Dutch, mostly red with blue white and other colour touches. Red is a colour I do not have much of!
