Hi all! Well, after 10 days of vacation, I neither gained nor lost, so I consider that a victory - LOL! Back on track though and hope to see those numbers keep going down! So, I have had my oldest on my mind, especially now that he is gone again until Christmas so I decided that since I just received his formal military photos from the Academy in the mail, I would scrap one in the hopes it would be a therapy of sorts....and it totally was! Look at this handsome guy???!!! I mean, isn't he amazing!!! Of course, I am biased, LOL! I am really happy with how this page turned out! The supplies are from the Coconut Kit I designed this month, and I love playing with it! I painted my chipboard stars, added flock and glitter, then stamped on the big cutout star that I made with some of the dp. I stripped my journaling to keep the lines of the page crisp and sharp because well, it IS a military page!! Yep, I used some ribbon, but rick rack is okay for a male page - at least that is what I have decided, *teehee*! No recipe, but if you are interested in the supplies used for this project, check out my kit now available at the Coconut Scrapshop! Until tomorrow!! Smooches!
Wow!! What an amazing tribute of love, Alex! So proud! I salute YOU as a mom who sacrifices her son's presence to keep us safe!
