Using sketch 2 from Operation Write Home to make a general card for the troops. This additional critter below is my Pubbadools. He is super chill about mommy being home today.

My latest attempt at CASology #6 and also for the premier Ten-Minute Craft Dash #1. Speaking as a person who had a fair share of anxiety in my elementary school years, this CASology theme spoke to me in a different way than might be expected. Although I do not have children, I remember what is was like to be a little one struggling with academic and social excellence. I hope this gives people ideas to run with. This clocked in at under eight minutes for the craft dash. I wanted to find an ideal clip art shield for bravery to trace but finally made my own in Illustrator for you to share with my compliments. You may download it for FREE here . I printed and cut it out on heavy cardstock and traced around it with a marker.

 I'm doing double duty on challenges this week. This is for the 5th CASology Challenge and Lawnscaping Challenge #39 . I sincerely hope that more people will come on board with CASology's challenge. I like the thoughtfulness that is put into it by their design team. Of course, I'll be forever hooked on the Lawnscaping Challenge as long as there are Lawn Fawn stamps to play with.

  Remembering my dad this Father's Day. I might wrap this up tightly in plastic and place it on his memorial this Sunday. I'm entering this in my first Mojo Monday Challenge , #245, today! Yes, I tweaked the layout quite a bit to suit my tastes but it was definitely my starting point. This uses Lawn Fawn sets Critters in the Burbs, Critters on the Farm and Sunny Skies. I found the little lamb in the Denami Designs booth at the Heirloom Festival in Springfield, MA a few weeks ago. I drew a little smile on him.

Here is my submission for the Lawnscaping Challenge #35. This is the first "challenge" I've ever done. Everyone else's entries are complex, but perhaps my pared down methods will prevail. :-) Good luck to all the other entrants! Stamps: Lawn Fawn ; Supplies: Stampin' Up !

Here is another card using Lawn Fawn stamps. I have another big order from them coming this week and I cannot WAIT to receive them! This is colored using Stampin' Up!'s 2011-2013 InColor palatte. Stamps: Lawn Fawn, Supplies: Stampin' Up!
