Veterans' Day 2021

 

I am so thankful for all the men and women who have fought for this great country! We wouldn't have the freedoms that we have now without them. Within our family, 5 people have served in the military. My husband's Dad (Army), my Dad (Airforce), my husband's brother (Navy), my brother (Navy) and my husband's sister's husband (our brother-in-law - Army).  Thanks for all you did!

I created this card within my digital software - My Memories Suite.

I felt that the frame resembled a 'dogtag' and would go well with my theme.

Thanks for checking in!

Happy Veterans' Day to all Veterans!

Supplies Used

My Memories Suite digital software

Embellishments - MM9 Military (American Flag - MyMem)

My niece, Kassie, takes many photos of raptors, wolves and her kitty. So, for her birthday I wanted to create a card centered around the photos she takes everyday.

I found the camera in my digital software, so I created the focal point of the card within My Memories Suite.

Behind the camera, I overlapped two sunburst embellishments to create the starburst. The text is also from the computer (well, expect for the 'Have A' .... I had a stamp for that!).

Once I printed it off on Whisper White cardstock, I was able to finish the card using the traditional method.

Thanks for looking!

MDS Monday (Beth) has another wonderful sketch this week.  You may view the sketch and all the pages created with it here:  http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2015/05/mdsm-113-visual-interest.html

Beth wanted us to use something other than splatter for the background visual interest.  I chose to use the rain stamp from Everyday Adventure PL kit in Island Indigo and Whisper White.  The white I reduced the opacity so it was a bit translucent on the page.  The title and the criss-cross (or diamond) layer on the green piece are also stamps from the Everyday Adventure PL kit.

I wanted to create a companion page to go with last weeks page I completed for the tulip festival. Since the first page didn't include any tulips.... this page only contains tulips!!

Thanks for looking!

Supplies:

Background - Pool Party

Embellishments - Ruffled Ribbon (Island Indigo); Eyelet (Garden Green)

Stamp Brush Sets - Everyday Adventure PL kit (rain - Island Indigo and Whisper White at 80% opacity; title words - Island Indigo; diamonds background - Whisper White); Our Happy (tulip - Gumball Green, Perfect Plum, Real Red, Summer Sun)

Punches - Square (filled w/Textured Island Indigo, Gumball Green and Whisper White); Tag (Whisper White)

Font - CK Honey

It's Monday again, and MDS Monday has a new sketch challenge posted.  Jeanna provided this week's sketch.  You may view their blog along with all the lovely pages created by the design team here: http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2015/04/mdsm-111-cute-done.html

Well, as I see here I didn't put my title in the correct spot, but I did use the 'Everyday Adventure Project Life digital download throughout this page.  I added tulips from the 'Handpicked for Mom' and the washi tape from the 'Delightful Digital Tape' digital downloads.

One thing I'd like to point out is that I used a Project Life pocket card for the background.  I encompassed the whole background with a photo box and just dragged my card in the box.  It did give me an error saying it may pixelate, but when printed I do not see any pixelation.  The pocket card looked like rows of tulips -- I felt it was perfect for the background! =)

I realize that there are no photos of the beautiful rows of tulip fields on my page -- I'll need to create another page for that, but wanted to showcase us being silly at the festival! We are too cute!

Oh wait!  Here's a lovely photo of the tulip fields for you to see now:
