Independence Day Wishes and Custom Independence Day Blocks

I hope that you all had a wonderful Independence Day!  We enjoyed our day celebrating the 4th at Kings Island in Ohio as part of our vacation travels across the country! 

I thought I would share a custom set of Independce Day blocks I did for a friend of mine.

Old Glory

Here is the latest Independence Day/Americana design.  Isn't that what summer is all about - riding bikes and letting Old Glory fly?

I hope your week is filled with sunshine!

Alternate set up:

Complete with rusty flag and star:

and a rusty bell!

Let Freedom Ring

Here is one of the latest Independence Day designs I've been working on.   The bell and primitive doll are hand painted and I have a funny story to tell about that.  My husband, who knows I paint.....he's known me for a long, long time.... looked at it and wanted to know where I got the scrapbook paper with the Liberty Bell on it!  Silly guy - I guess I'll take it as a compliment...I think!

Snap, Crackle, Pop

I'm having fun crafting for Indepence Day!!!!  Here is my latest design - what do you think?  I had a really fun time painting Uncle Sam along with the fireworks.  I found some fun rusty embellishments to add to the blocks including a flag, bell and star!
