CC Wkly Challenge #35: Patriotic Pride

This was a fun challenge and so fitting since we are sneaking up on the Fabulous 4th!!  I thought...what could be more American than good old apple pie!?  I know, right??  :-)  This was my first time using Diamond Dust on a project and I love the effect.  It's actually little bits of glass which I didn't realize until I read the label.  So cool! 

Recipe:
The Paper Studio - All Seasons- red striped paper

Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart- blast (background) @ 3 1/2", apple @3/4" using roly poly feature key, sentiment @ 1/2" also using roly poly feature

From My Kitchen Cricut cart - pie @3"

Cuttlebug embossing folders - distressed stripe, Retro Kitchen set ( on pie crust)

Brown ink, white Marvy gel pen for doodles, glossy accents to adhere the Diamond Dust to the pie crust and around the apple decoration on the pie, pop dots, silver bling.

Thanks for looking!  Good luck to all in the challenge!  Have a happy and safe 4th of July!!
