Angus the Airplane

My husband is a pilot so any time we see something aviation related we are automatically addicted. My friend Julie on SCS had this airplane on her blog. Thanks to her for letting her followers know where to find him.

Thank you Sunshine's Stamps for providing this fabulous Digi Image, Angus. You can find other great talents on her blog.

I'm sure you'll see him flyin' around my blog a lot this weekend as I play around. The first one I did is a military theme. I used my Copics and Prisma markers to color him in. The paper is (I think) from Creative Memories. I then accented with gold star brads and ribbon.

My second card for today is from a card kit swap I hosted. I can never get enough of Riley and Sophie.

CCC7

Our 7th Crafty Critter challenge was to create a 3-D item that SCREAMED summer. I'm not used to creating altered projects so this was a true challenge for me. I was excited to play and I ended up creating a goodie box to give to my secret sister at church. I plan to stuff it with some sweet treats. Hope you enjoy, sorry if it's amature, it's a first for me.

CCC6

Our 6th challenge in our Crafty Critters blog group was hosted by Megrod. She came up with a wonderful idea to honor National Scrapbook Month in May. Even though we are a tad late getting this going we thought it was never to late to celebrate one of our favorite craft times.

So Challenge 6 is to do a page about you to your kids. It can be about your you met their dad, your favorite wedding picture, a poem or letter to them, a page about things you like to do with them or for them, about things you love nowadays, so that the kids can look thru their albums and say...this is what my Mom used to like when she was however old, etc....hope all this makes senseThe only catch is...you have to be the main feature of the picture. Your children want to see what your hairstyle was like, the clothes etc you were wearing. I think we often forget to Scrap ourselves.

For me this was GREAT!!! I had these pictures from work and have been trying to find a way to fit them into our family books. So this was perfect! I loved it so much that I ended up creating a double page spread. The first page pictured is the one one for our challenge.

My journaling reads: The best job I have ever had is being a mommy to Mitchell and Marshall. In June 2008 I received a job offer outside of the home. After much though and a lot of talking Larkin and I made the decision for me to work part time at the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. It's a job I love but it also allows me to make my family top priority. My job at PFSC is different from day to day and I love the challenges it presents. It even allows me to work from hom at times. Right now it's offering me the best of both worlds.

Journaling reads: The Sportsman Channel hosted a shoot at Harrisburg Hunters and Anglers for the legislators. They are one of our business affiliates. Harrisburg Hungers and Anglers is one of our clubs.
This was my first time ever shooting a gun. My instructors were wonderful and patient. Despite my nice bruise I had a great experience.

Happy Father's Day!

I made my Father in Law's and Husband's Father's Day cards similar. I did not get pictures uploaded yet of my Dad's card. Here they are:

Card Kits Galore!!

Ok I have decided that more people need to host card kit exchanges on SCS. They are so wonderful and there is nothing like having all the elements to make fabulous cards already in one place for you already coordinated. Sometimes I find myself putting 3-4 kits together in one night. My supply is getting low real quick!!!

My first card is of a Fella from Stampin' Bella. I didn't color him in and now I'm wishing I did. I might have to go back and do it. I was trying to make a card that was not so "bright" since it is a "man" card.

Second is sweet Bella. This was my first image I ever saw through Stamping Bella and fell in love with her. Is she not just so sweet!!

Here is my fella now colored in. I can't help it, I like color on my images. There are very few that I find look better without some sort of color. Even if it's just stickles to give a little "bling."

Enjoy your day!
