Yes Today is the BIG day
... Jess and I will be leaving very shortly to go get my honey bunch at the airport .. I have had this moment and what it is going to be like playing in my mind for weeks , Its hard to believe it is actually happening TODAY!!! Thank you Lord ! This time will be different since I have to share him with so many other people that love him too .. alot different when we were in the Navy and away from family & friends when he would return home from deployment thats for sure .. I am not sure exactly when I will be back on to post to my blog But I will return very soon with tons of photos to share with you all .I promise .. so stay tuned...:-)
I just have to share one of my favorite cards with all of you before I leave . This card is using the technique Embossing resist and this was the very 1st card I made when I received the new goods from the holiday mini ( starting Sept 1st) The snowflakes are from the set called Snow burst and are embossed in clear over top of the Jumbo wheel SNOW inked in wild wasabi . I also added lots of gold eyelets, I guess I was in the mood to use my crop-a-dile .I then used River Rock ink with my dauber and applied ink all over the main focal area alot heavier over the embossed snowflakes .. Then stamped the tree from season of Joy I cut that out and adhered it to my card with a dimensional . Thanks for peeking in today and I will see you all very soon . Off to get beautified for Hubby .I can't wait to see his Handsome face..
Until later ... Happy Stampin!
Dawn - I am so happy for all of you. I think all of us that read your blog have been thinking about and praying for this day for you, too. When you pray for someone daily you feel very "connected" to them, even if you don't know them. Enjoy every moment.
