SImple Scrapper July Challenge

Simple Scrapper has a seasonal reader's challenge for July: make a layout with red, white, and blue that is not about 4th of July.  One submission will be chosen randomly to win a $15 print credit from Persnickety Prints by participating in this month’s Simple Scrapper challenge!

This was certainly a challenge for me, but after mulling over ideas, I came up with this:

Materials: Paper: PB&J/Hip Fab by Basic Grey, Classic Calico/Woodgrain One by Studio Calico, Navy strip by Creative Memories (circa 1998); Tin Type and Buttermilk Sprinklers by October Afternoon, "Liberty" banner American Made by My Mind's Eye, American Crafts Thickers; Decorative Tabs by American Crafts; Template by Simple Scrapper Premium Membership

I was really hoping to make a layout of my recent trip to Amsterdam, but other pictures were pre-printed and ready to go, so those won. Some of my ideas are listed below.

1. Trip to France,
2. Trip to the Netherlands
3. Trip to Great Britain,
4. Trip to Australia or New Zealand
5. Trip to any of the other countries with Red, White, and Blue Flags
6. Or patriotic pages if you are from those countries
7. Patriotic page for US
8. Becoming an officer, lawyer, fireman, military personnel, etc
9. Flag day and other holidays
10. My mom's birthday (which is kind of cheating)
