Red, White, & Blue Flower Vases

-

I trust you are having a great day.  This little vase was inspired by Amy at Love To Crop.  Her beautiful sunshine yellow vase can be found by clicking here.  Thanks for the inspiration Amy.  I knew I had to make these for the 4th of July.  I love decorating for the seasons.  I think next year that I will get them out around Memorial Day and leave them through July.  I chose artificial daisies so the water doesn't get spilled from the naughty cat getting on the table (just ask me how I learned this lesson).

I found these round place mats at Walmart.  I only use tablecloths or place mats for very special occasions, but I almost always have a table runner.  I decided to use the place mats for a runner.  I like the effect.


You will find complete directions on the video.  Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check back soon for more projects and ideas.


I am linking this project to the following challenges:

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a
