Happy July 4th!

Hello!  For all of you celebrating July 4th, we're using our patriotic colors for this week's My Time Made Easy Challenge. For my entry today, I've used the Star of the Show template to creat this star shaped box to fill with some goodies.  To finish it off I used the polka dot paper from October Afternoon's 5 & dime collection.  The perfect little hostess gift for a July 4th get together!  I hope you all having a wonderful time with lots of family and friends.

•The palette month will run from the 2nd Sunday of every month, to the 2nd Saturday of the following month, with the Winner announced that 2nd Sunday of the Palette Challenge.

That little box is adorable! That little tag on the diagonal is the perfect touch. I haven't branched out to paper crafts beyond cards yet but this might be the project that gets me to do it. :) Have a fab long weekend!
