Favorite Theme

Glad to see a few more sights with the Red, White and Blue Colors. Even though July 4th is over and Celebrating  it is over for this year, I can always use cards with these colors.  We have several family members and friends in the military and it just seems these colors are most important to share, as a sign of support and thankfulness for a job well done.

Celebrate!  And who doesn't like cupcakes?  Made this one from a Spellbinders Die, cut it in half to get the different colors and pieced it back together, using the red and white, added some Liquid Pearls for the frosting, made the candle from a Cuttlebug embossing folder and tucked it into the cupcake, added the sparkly star and some swag border trim.  Tried 3 photos and have glare on all 3.
I need help with photo's.................

I added a few Star Buttons, a Sentiment "Enjoy" a Stitched Ribbon and Lots of Love .
I certainly could use a cup of coffee and a wonderful cupcake right now.
