Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop - Day #2, celebrating with 3 more cards for the Fourth

Welcome to Day #2 of the Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop, sponsored by Lisa at Honeybearz Designs. 

Honestly, I don't think there's any place better in the whole U.S.of A. to celebrate Independence Day than in the City of Brotherly Love, my hometown, Philadelphia.  

If you've never been -- be sure to come at least once in your life to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the National Constitution Center, the home of Betsy Ross, and more. History breathes here. 


Believe it or not, I once lived in a home modeled after the Betsy Ross house and built in the same era. Yes, it was teeny-tiny -- just 13' wide and 54' deep. But it was fun, fun, fun living in the cradle of history.

Yesterday, I showed you one of my favorite cards of all time ... be sure you see it. Here are some runner-ups that I made for this hop, too, for Day #2:

So, which of these three (above) is your favorite?  Answer that question in a comment here, and be eligible for an extra entry in this Hop's CardMonkey Blog Candy:

Now, what's a blog hop without a little candy? 

Well, I happen to have an extra copy of what may one day be a collector's copy of a magazine.

Yup, I bought a copy before I remembered that I also subscribe. (Duhhh!)  Anywhooo... did you know "Scrapbooks, Etc." is ceasing publication with this, its August 2012 issue?  Dang it all ... I enjoyed it!  The copy I send to you will be the just-bought issue, not this dog-earred ratty/read copy.  

To win it, please be a follower of my blog, and leave a comment here. Please be sure that your comment today answers the question (above), and also provides a way for me to contact you when you win.

I hope you've enjoyed this hop. I'm the last stop (phew! You made it!) ... but if you've just happened upon me here, why not start at the very beginning and see what other projects might trigger your crafting mojo.  Here's the line-up, with not-to-be-missed projects and some more blog candy:
