“The American Way”, by Megan Klauer.

Celebrating a warm summer day almost always involves watermelon in our neck of the woods. That's one of the reasons why the watermelon embellishments work so perfectly in the new All American Line. One tip I'd like to share today is when using the HighFive Alphabet stickers in the lighter colors such as the Gulf, try layering them on top of a darker colored sticker to make it pop a bit. Super easy!

Supplies:
All American: Seeing Stars, United We Stand, Boom Boom Pow, American Pride, Borders & Cute Cuts, Just Write Stickers, Alphabet Stickers, Chipboard Icons; Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Scallop; High Five Alphabets: Gulf, Blue, Black-White

“Everyday With You”, by Gina Lideros.

I love the versatility of the new All American collection. Even though it boasts a Fourth of July theme, it is also perfect for boys and every day themes too. When I first saw this collection, I knew that I wanted to do a layout about my sons' boundless energy. He is constantly on the go and stays busy all day long. I started my layout by cutting out this fun adventure title out of United We Stand paper, then I paired Blue High Five's and Sienna Ice Chip Alphabet together to finish the title. Bella's fun new All American flags and Designer tapes helped tie everything together.

Supplies:
All American: United We Stand, Seeing Stars, Borders & Cute Cuts, Just Write Journaling Stickers, Alpha+Bits Stickers, Chipboard Icons; Family Dynamix: Quadrants; High Five Alpha Stickers: Blue, Gulf; Sienna Chipboard Alpha: Ice; Flags: All American; Designer Tape: Navy Dot, Chlorine Dot, Red Chevron; Button Market: Gulf Squares

“Waiting For Fireworks”, by Becki Adams.

The Fourth of July is always one of the longest days for my kids. They are up early for all the fun parades, picnics, and parties. It always seems that darkness will never come. I always take tons of photos that day and a lot of them are while we're waiting for fireworks. The All American collection makes those July 4th photos stand out. On this layout I wanted to focus on the cute cuts, stickers, and designer tapes. I did two large clusters of embellishments with a bit of white space in the middle to draw attention to the photo. I love the bright happy colors in this collection. This collection is sure to make any of your July 4th photos stand out!
