1, 2, 3...

Oh my gosh, if you are not a Pink Cat Studio fan please go check out her blog. I have been featured on her blog for the card I made my husband for Father's Day. How cool is that.

Also, my mojo card is on Julee's blog here. It has been included in her weekly slide show of all the entries. Sadly, I didn't wind the free stamp set but I already got several from her so I am happy.

On to my next project. Like I mentioned in this post, I guess briefly,we visited some friends a few weeks back. We actually met them when we were lucky enough to be stationed in Alaska for 5 years. I watched their oldest son for about 2 years. My husband and his friend not only worked together but also went 4-wheeling and hunting together. My husbands friend has since separated from the military and they moved back to the town they both grew up in, Lake Tahoe, how awesome is that. I have driven through but haven't had a chance to really see it. My boys loved it, the men went 4-wheeling on the Rubicon Trail and us girls took 4 boys, between the age of 1 and 4 to the beach. They all had fun and it was fun watching my boys play.

The next day we all went fishing. It was a great weekend.

Anyway, we found out that due to a computer mishap they had lost a lot of pictures from our time in Alaska. We came home and set out to make them a CD of a lot of pictures we had. My husband requested I make a holder to put the CD in.

I decided to try to stick with the same theme as the card I made them, mentioned earlier.

This is fairly self explanatory so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Oh, want you may not be able to see is the bling that I put on there, the stem for the flowers, leaves, white part of the flower, the white part of the butterfly and it's antennae. I tried to make it very simple.

Thanks for visiting.

Semper Fi CD holder

My father-in-law is a former Marine who served during WWII. His unit has a website that keeps members of the unit and family up-to-date with everyone else and also likes to reminisce about their time served. They have found a way to add pictures to the website of everyone who has pictures.

My husband and I have finally collected a bunch of pictures of my father-in-law when he was serving in the war and his buddies. We were asked to put them all on a CD and send it to one of the people who works on keeping up the website. Being the person I am I couldn't just send it as is I had to do something. So, I threw together a quick CD holder to send it in.

I wanted to make it with a Marine style since he was a Marine. I took some blue paper I had in my stash and some red (the blue wasn't big enough to make it alone). I just glued them together and used some Michael's yellow ribbon to hide the seem. I couldn't just leave it at that so I searched the web for a Marine seal and finally found one the right size, printed it, cut it out and then used my nestabilities to cut a white circle out to use as a background for the seal then just glued it on with 3-D dots. That is it easy and simple.
