I used CSI Case File #79 as the inspiration for my patriotic page. I had a lot of fun gathering evidence for this case! I included many of the items on a tag, which I used as an embellishment on my layout. The evidence I have gathered is flowers, leaves, pinwheels, flourishes, stripes, gingham, polka dots, ribbon and a transparent bracket. I chose to document my July 4th celebration from last year. My girls loved the sparklers and the small amateur fireworks show that we put on in the backyard!



I used the gorgeous Decorative Chateau Gate Die Set and the matching Grand Portal Stamps from Heartfelt Creations to create the frame around the image on my tag. Instead of using the die-cuts as windows I trimmed and pieced them together to create an ornate frame. I added some Scrapiniec Die-Cut Chipboard along the bottom of my tag.

Heartfelt Creations is the main sponsor for this month!


Heartfelt Creations® is a leading Rubber Stamp & Scrapbook manufacturer for the craft industry. Heartfelt Creations was established in 1997 as Golden Rule Supply manufacturing Rubber Stamps. In January 2006 Golden Rule Supply became Heartfelt Creations.

The Inspiration
Linda the founder and CEO of Heartfelt Creations describes it as the 'AHH HA' moment when she picked up her first stamp to show her kids how to use it. At that moment she realized that she had discovered something amazing. With that a dream was born to offer the same creative delight to people around the world that she felt when she picked up a stamp for the first time.
