Happy Retirement Chief Huckaba!!!

For Chief Huckaba who recently retired.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to his retirement, I woke up at 5 that morning with the flu...I was in bed for the next two days, ugh!  

I did my usual...Neenah, Momento, Copics.  Then fussy cut the image from WTG Godspeed out, mounting it on a Crumb Cake layer I ran through my Cuttlebug.  Real Red, MME American Made paper, Die-namics Star Stax, Star Rhinestones, Button, SU Linen Thread.  I'm still behind with my sketches and trying to catch up.  I used MFTWSC90 for this one.

Thank-you for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

Retirement Invitations for a friend of mine.  She asked if I would make 60 for her.  This is what I came up with.

I started out running strips of MME American Made paper through my Cuttlebug with the Die-namics Hexagons from MFT...talk about time consuming!  I took each Hexagon and ran it through my Xyron Sticker Maker, which was also time consuming!  I stamped the sentiment, then used the SU Square Punch to make the banner.  I also ran both banner pieces through the Xyron Sticker Maker...you guessed it...time consuming!  I used Die-namics Stacking stars, Denami Design Buttons, SU Bakers Twine, SU Scallop Circle Punch, SU 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Riding Hood Red, White, and Night of Navy Papers.  My entry for TPE167 which is to create a card with a Chevron or Hexagon theme.  This is also my entry for RCC72 which is to use Buttons and Twine on your card.

All 60 of the cards=)

Thank-you for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Happy Retirement Major Stelling!!!

Another one of my hubs co-workers is retiring tomorrow.  Major Stelling is such a sweet lady and so excited to retire and just be a mommy to her children.  I know she will enjoy being a stay at home mom=)  This is the card I made for her to celebrate her special day...

I won this super cute digital image, Lollipop Independence Julie a few months ago from BLD.  I printed a sheet full of her on Neenah paper as soon as I won her so the ink had time to settle and dry.  I'm happy to say I had no issues with the smearing or bleeding, yay!  Anyhow,  I colored her with Copics.  I added a Glitter Pen to the American Flag and the white bits in her dress and a Glaze Pen to her shoes.  Riding Hood Red and MME American Made Paper, Nesties, Die-namics Stacking Stars, and SU Photo Corner Punch.  My sentiment is from the MFT set Big Greetings.  I used this month's SFYTT.  This is my first time playing along in a challenge with the gals at The Pink Elephant.  This weeks TPE151 is to use Vibrant colors.  My hubs and I debated back and forth whether this was considered "Vibrant" for the challenge, he was thinking it was more "Bold"...humph.  Ah well, I'll give it a go...

Happy Retirement Col Kross...

Col Kross was my hubs Commander when we first arrived to DMAFB.  Not too long after we were here Col Kross took a year assignment to Africa, without his family.  He's now returned from Africa to retire from the Air Force.  I will miss him and his wife Mimi dearly.  I wish them both the best on their new life in the civillian world.

My card is really simple and basic.  I stamped my image form SU's Courage set in Momento Ink on Neenah Cardstock coloring it in with Copics.  I colored in the soldier, jet, and ship to give them a silhouette look.  I highlighted with a white gel pen on the flag and also a clear gel pen to the goggles.  Baroque Burgundy, Black cardstock, SU jumbo eyelets, and Denami Design Ribbon.

Below are some pictures from Col Kross' Retirement Ceremony and Retirement Party.

These young men did such an amazing job during the flag ceremony and presenting the flag to Col Kross.  It was completely silent during the whole ceremony.  Such a beautiful site, I had tears in my eyes the whole time.

Below are pictures from Col Kross' Retirement Party.  We had such a great time and glad we were able to be there.
