Fireworks Scrapbook Layout

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA & belated Happy Canada Day to all the Canada followers of my blog.

Created this Fireworks Scrapbook Layout using photos of fireworks I photographed.

Used Stand & Salute Cricut cartridge for the fireworks die cuts. Used VersaMark ink on the fireworks die cuts. Used spunger too apply Buzz N Magic Stardust chalk to the fireworks die cuts to make them shine. You can buy the chalk at Chalk-Ah-Lot store and then you could enter the challenges there that require the use of their chalk. Used Spellbinder die cut for banner for journaling.

    1. Used a tripod & let the shutter open longer to capture multiple fireworks. Not all turn out but I take alot and hope that a few are like these. Like my Canon camera!

  10. I put a link to the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe store where you can buy the Stardust Chalk. If you buy tell them I sent you. I do not get anything for letting people know but would like to see more people participate in their challenges that require the use of their chalk.
