Rugged Americana and some freebies!

Melly Scraps just released this awesome patriotic kit called Rugged Americana. I absolutely love this kit – the best Fourth of July kit I have seen yet. The colors are perfect and the grungy look of the papers and elements is awesome.

She also has this coordinating alphabet called Stars & Stripes

I am hosting the template challenge over at DSDI this month and I made my layout with Rugged Americana. This was the summer J1 and I flew up to Alaska to see my mom. My sister and her kids and my dad and step mom were in town at the same time so it was like a mini family reunion.

Here is my template – you’ll have to go to the DSDI forum to pick it up though. I have included a .psd file, the individual .pngs and also a .page file which is used in the Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus software, my digi scrapping software of choice.

I lifted this template from a paper scrapping page I did – check it out:

And one last freebie – Melly was nice enough to let me make some brag book pages for you. You’ll also need to get these in the DSDI freebie section.

Thanks! I’ll have a word art freebie for you tomorrow using Janet B’s new kit Summer Rain so come back for that.
