Celebrate Today with Hazel

Lori posted a special challenge today on the By Lori Designs blog.  It is "In Honor of the Royal Wedding".  Since I really don't need a wedding card right now, I decided to make a celebration card using the colors red white and blue.....well actually aqua in my case (but to me it's still a blue).  I also had to throw the heart border punch in the mix as well. 

I used October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker Papers, and paired them up with this adorable image Hazel, in the Bug & Roo section.  I added some ribbon, a flower, button and some rhinestones I colored with copics.

I will come back and update with a recipe and a few other challenges, but I need to head outside with the kids for a bit since we finally have a nice day.
