Super kits, thanks and awesome layouts everyone. Went to a fireworks display yesterday and did not have my camera. And here I am usually with it attached to me............Oh, well.

GREAT layouts everyone! Khloe is just adorable! Love all the pages, Dillie, Linda, Kimmyann, PixyGirl, hope I didn't miss anyone! Brain isnt what it used to be! :)

Great layouts everyone! You are all using different pieces from the kits, and that is awesome! ((HUGS))

Am always in awe of what our troops do for us. When I saw this photo, it was just more proof of what they do for us. Can't imagine living with all that sand in their mouths, clothes, hair and all around them.

Thank you American troops.

Daydreamer, we are just glad you've joined in and shown us YOUR country -- wow! Such beauty!

Everyone's layouts have been so AWESOME! We are really enjoying this challenge with you!

Now, for the next week on this challenge here's a new requirement... you must CHANGE THE COLOR/TINT on your PHOTOS to match one of the colors used in in your layout. To do this: right-click your photo, choose "properties", select the "advanced" tab, tic the box for "adjust color", UNtic both "relative" boxes, move your cursor over to your layout and use the color picker to choose a color/tint that you like. Try several different tints to see what you like and show us what you did! Also, go ahead and change colors of the layout freebies you use, you don't have to always do the red/white/blue idea... go get creative!

And remember, next week we start doing the mid-month designer "shift change" LOL... we are testing the idea of two weeks of challenges instead of a whole month (but you can still submit in any challenege of course!)... see Fiona's thread post about it!
