Celebrate ! * OCL Sketch and News 2 !!
It’s almost that time to celebrate our U.S. Independence Day, a.k.a. July 4th! 
It’s also time for the Friday Sketch Challenge from Our Craft Lounge …. I hope you’ll check into “The Lounge” blog and play along with us this weekend! Here’s this week’s sketch … we’re using OCLDT19 as the keyword on SCS uploads. We would love to see your version!

I chose to use the “Patriotic Parade” set this week, featuring the darling bear all dressed up & ready to strike up the band and lead the parade! I loved marching in the parades while in high school band, and later watching my own teenagers do the same … the joy & fun still stay with me.
The little parade bear was stamped twice, cut out once, & popped up atop the first to give him more dimension … we want the entire band to be able to see him, of course! The sentiment tag was hand-cut, then layered atop the bow with a couple of punched & glittered stars.
Before I go, we’ve got some very cool news to share! Today is the Grand Opening of The Inspiration Emporium, and they are offering some really cool specials, including an offer from OCL. The Inspiration Emporium will be carrying the entire Our Craft Lounge line of products!
