Debbiedoo's Copycat Challenge, Patriotic Style

It's time for another Copycat Magazine Challenge hosted by Debbiedoos!


I took my inspiration from Romantic Homes magazine, June 2012.



No, I did not copy that gorgeous room on the cover! 
Isn't that incredible though?

I chose something quite a bit simpler.



I really liked the votive holders embellished with vintage brooches
on the top of this page.

However, as much as I love those vintage brooches,
 I decided to give mine a little patriotic style. 

After all, we have the 4th of July coming up,
not to mention cheering for the
red, white & blue
in the upcoming Olympics.
(I love watching the Olympics!)



I knew just who to call to pull off this patriotic look too.
One call to Mom brought her to my door, within 15 minutes,
bearing a box of patritotic pins in assorted styles.
That woman has everything and is beyond awesome! ♥ 



I hope you enjoyed my copycat, patriotic style!

    Hi Gina, love your patriotic candles. Mom's are a good resource for all kinds of goodies. I borrow from my Mom all the time for things I like or need. Good job!---- Shannon
