It's not REALLY a lift challenge this week...

[emmasmommy]

THIS week, what I want you to do (thank you Holly for the inspiration), is use a patriotic kit for a layout. It doesn't have to be a patriotic layout, but I want to know which kit you used when you post your layout. Got it? Good :)

Have fun and I'll be back at the end of the week with a winner! :wub:

[hollyxann]

You're welcome oh Great one. :)

[Beebo]

Laura you pick some of the best challenges! You rock! And thank you Holly!

[emmasmommy]

[taracotta7]

Ohhhhhhh good one! Great idea, Holly!

[lovely1m]

Good excuse for me to use one of those that I have so many of.

[Happy Now]

Yay! Great idea!

[Libby Pritchett]

Oooooh I'm a sucker for patriotic kits, so I can't wait to see these pages!

[nun69]

I agree that you always have the best challenges...I don't always get to them, but I intended too every week!

I don't know if I'm doing this right but here is my entry :o

[joelsgirl]

Hey does this count as "patriotic"?

[ricslady]

How do I enter?

[Misty Cato]

How do I enter?

Create a page based on the challenge and then come back and post your page in this thread and you are entered.

[ricslady]

I thought I did that earlier :o

I'll try again

[ricslady]

I don't think it will let me post a link. I get a message that disappears before I can read it but I think it has something about being approved ???

[Misty Cato]

Hang on a bit, I'll get someone to adjust your permissions.

[Darcy Baldwin]

You should be good to go!

[ricslady]

Thank you!

Kit - Sweet Liberty by Melissa Bennett

Hey does this count as "patriotic"?

I was thinking more, 4th of July or Red/White/Blue (or one of the Canada kits).

[ricslady]

You should be good to go!

Let's see if I can get this right :o
Kit used - Capitol City by Misty Cato

Dude. That's SO red, white & blue. It's what my fourth of july looks like, but you're the boss, so I will accept your decision.

[lorryfach]

I realised when I read this that I've only ever used patriotic kits to scrap decidedly American things. And I love love love to use themed kits for unthemed LOs. How did this one slip by me? So even though you said "it doesn't have to be" and not "it can't be", all I could think was CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. :w00t:
I love the result, so thank you! Other than my daughter being an American citizen, there's nothing American about this LO. It's not even set in America. lol ;)

Kellie, if you'd like to use that go ahead. I've had quite a few questions on if a certain kit would be ok. As long as you think the kit is patriotic, have at it ;)

[lorryfach]

I tried to post one a couple days ago but it still hasn't shown up. What do I have to do to stop having my posts being moderated? I already posted in the "new to the community" thread twice. :/

[eve11ne]

I also used Jenn's kit :)

[Sherri Tierney]

Ooh, I know what I'm doing today! I am a sucker for patriotic kits. I'm also a sucker for 4th of July pictures. I will have to see what I haven't scrapped already. :)

[jacinda]

I wanted to play along just for fun. It's not a patriotic kit, but it is red, white and blue:
