Here is the card I made to share for FWF this week. the doily stamp is from the Generations kit, and the little tag is from the Dutch Mustard Soup kit.
I am giving this card (along with a bunch more) to my friends husband who is leaving for a year long deployment to Afghanistan tomorrow morning. This way he will have cards to send to loved ones at home while he is away. Next I will be working on a set of cards to give to her, so she can send him some happy mail too. But first a "fun" road trip with the kids to North Carolina to look for housing for our move next month, this should be the last trip I have to take alone with the kids, before my husband returns from his "trip" to Iraq. YAY!!!
Using random.org I picked a winner for the Summer g
Giveaway. The winner is comment # 5 Emily Keaton. Emily, please send me an email at evastrong@rocketmail.com with your address, so I can mail the prize to you.
Thank you all for your comments, and stay tuned for another fun giveaway in a few weeks.
This week I have this card to share for FWF, this flower was so much fun and easy to make. The papers are Stella and Rose from MME and the stamp is from the May KOM.
Today is our oldest sons 13th birthday, and the youngest was 2 1/2 yesterday, so now we have two teenagers and a toddler. It is also our anniversary so I made this card, I did not mail it to him since he is scheduled to come home at the end of July and mail to Iraq has been really unpredictable for the past six months, guess I will just wait and celebrate with him when he gets home.
This beautiful bracelet arrived yesterday for me, and I feel truly blessed to be married to such a thoughtful man.
And last but not least, on Wednesday the kids (we all cried) and I stood here with our flags to honor yet another fallen hero. This boy was only 23 years old and he gave all for our country, we all must remember that freedom is not free, and honor those who fight for our freedom every day.
The Fort Leavenworth community paid honors to a fallen local hero who was laid to rest in the post cemetery Wednesday, Jun. 6, 2012. The fallen Soldier, Pfc. Cale Miller, was killed in Afghanistan May 24.
Long post I know... Hopefully everyone has a fun weekend with family and friends.
Still making "Miss You" cards for my husband, but at least this year of being apart is going to be over soon. For this I paper pieced the flowers with some paper from my scrap basket, and used some flower soft for the middle of the flower. And the stamp is a Unity Itty Bitty.
Made this card this morning before the kids got up and the day got super busy. I used a Stamp of the Week that I got several weeks ago, but still had not used, and I decided to start using my sewing machine again which I had not done for a really long time. The buckle was a silver color and I did not like how it looked with the card, so I colored it with a Copic to make it brown.
I can't believe that it is Friday and June already, this week sure went by fast. Just realized that there is only two months until we have to move to NC from Kansas and I have not been serious about finding housing yet, guess it is time to start looking. I made a couple of cards for FWF this week, and here they are:
This chipboard star has been sitting on my craft table for months, so I decided to finally use it for something. I just put three strips of scor-tape on the card and sprinkled them with black glitter, and then decided to stamp the sentiment in red to add a little color. The sentiment is from the April KOM "Follow Your Own".
A friend who recently moved to Germany gave me a bunch of navy card stock already folded into cards, so this was really quick and easy. The stamp is from one of the SOTW stamps.
I will be posting another post today with a summer giveaway. Hope everyone has a fun weekend!
I'm an army wife and mom to three great kids ages 15, 13 and 3. In my free time I craft to stay sane. I love pretty much all crafts, but my favorite is stamping and papercrafts in general.
