Thinking of my Deployed Spouse's...

A quick CAS card I made for my deployed spouse's.  As most of you know I'm a key spouse for my husband's squadron.  One of my duties as a key spouse is to check up on the deployed spouses and make sure they're doing ok and see if they need anything.  One way I like to do this is by sending them a card each month.  This is the card I made them for January...

I stamped Fancy Flutters in Tangerine Tango on a white base.  Added a Tangerine Tango and white layer, stamping the sentiment from Sincere Salutations  in Tangerine Tango.  My layout is this weeks Retro Sketch, RS47.

Thank-you so much for stopping by!

Have a fabulous weekend!

"Happy Hunger Games!!!"

"...and may the odds be ever in your favor."  Yes, I'm reading The Hunger Games...currently on the 3rd book.  I must say it is a good read.  Anyhow, I made this card for Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge 124, which is an Inspiration Challenge.  Using rs#7 for my layout.

The inspiration I took from the photo was the picture hanging on the back wall.  Every time I looked at the photo my eye was drawn to that picture.  I just love it!  I started out stamping Artemis (Katniss, hehe) in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I went over her bow and arrow with a Glitter Pen and her head dress with a Glaze Pen.  I stamped the tree from SU's Branch Out in Crumb Cake, then used Soft Sky and Pool Party for the foliage.  Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo for the sponging and edges.  Denami Design Ribbon and Button, SU Linen Thread.

Thank-you for stopping by.  Have a wonderful evening!

Retro Birthday Wishes...

I think one of the hardest things for me is giving my posts/cards a "title".  I just sit and stare at the computer screen...blank...does anyone else have the same problem?  I don't know why I have such a issue giving my cards/posts titles but I do, lol.

Anyhow, this is for Tiddly Ink Challenge #83- Birthday Bash.  I'm using one of Christy's Digi Freebies called Ellie.  She's printed out on Neenah, colored with copics.  I did the "out of the box" technique with Nesties then added Smooch and  Crytal Lacquer to the balloons and a Glaze Pen to her.  Sahara Sand, My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart paper.  CB Folder, SU Photo Corner Punch, Sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas.  I just came across retro sketches last night while reading my google reader,they have some fun sketches.  I used rs6 for my layout.

Thank-you for stopping by.  Have a great week.
