Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop July 1-4 (Day 1)

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for joining me for the Celebrate Freedom blog hop!

This will be a four day blog hop with each of the blogs posting a new project everyday from July 1-4.

If you came from Gina's Blog then you are in the right place!
If you want to start from the beginning  go to Honeybearz Designs.

There is a great line-up of wonderful designers waiting to show you their beautiful projects over the next four days! The projects will all be for Independence Day and Celebrating Freedom. :) You will have a chance to win some blog candy along the way! Including some Grand Prizes which are being sponsored by Lisa from Honeybearz Designs (She is the first blog on the hop!). In order to be eligible for the Grand Prizes you must leave a comment on every blog in the hop and become followers to all the ladies in the hop also.  Lisa from Honeybearz Designs will be picking the grand prize winners from all of the comments left throughout the four days.

I want to thank Lisa for letting me be part of this wonderful hop!

I have a wonderful sponsor for my blog candy for this hop!!! Michelle from Designs on Cloud 9 ! (www.designsoncloud9.com)

She has graciously donated $25 in product from her store! The items in her store are SO ADORABLE!
Here is a link to her blog as well Michelle's Blog.

Just leave a comment below to enter to win this wonderful prize!
I will pick one lucky winner on Friday July 8th, using random.org.

Now on to my project!

I received some Delicious Chocolate covered Oreos as one of my anniversary gifts and knew I wanted to save the tin they came in to make a project for this hop! It was a plain red tin, so it works perfect for this theme!
I used the Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cartridge to make the border to go around the tin as well as the die cut on top of the tin.
I then printed out this adorable image, which is also a cut file available at http://www.designsoncloud9.com/.
It was very easy to put together and SO CUTE!
It can be used to carry some treats to take with you to a 4th of July Barbecue! Or as a hostess gift!
