When I saw this week's Cupcake Inspiration, 
I was inspired to create a card for this week's upcoming holiday (I would actually rather make cupcakes-but I am trying to fit into a bridesmaids' dress and a swimsuit by August, so I'll make a card). I used Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Patriotic Collection (digistamps and card printables)
, some lace and ribbons from my stash, Making Memories Upholstery Brads, and a little stickpin that I made for a swap. To make the stickpin, I took a pearl floral corsage pin, and added a little blue star shaped bead with tiny rhinestones embedded in it, and a tiny red glass bead, glued together with a tiny drop of Aleene's metal and jewelry adhesive.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:Card Patterns: sketch
ABC Designs blog: red, white, and blue
Cards Blog Challenge: 4th of July or BBQ Invitation
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #38: Use a digital image
Cupcake Inspirations: photo
